Mardi Gras Feb. 24th
I was wondering what is going on during Mardi Gras this year to make the room rate jump up so high? Normally, they would be high if it was the same week as Predent's Day but it is 2 weeks later this year.
My other question is if Mardi Gras is Feb 24th should we check in on Feb 17th and leave on the 25th or Check in on the 21st and leave on the 28th. Our kids are still young and there school only lets out MOnday and Tuesday for Mardi GRas so we have to miss 3 or 4 days regardless.
Thanks

I would go on the earlier dates (2/17-2/25). I think most folks would go down at the beginning of the holiday and just stay the remainder of the week. My DD gets Mon. and Tues. only also, but other schools (esp. in NO) get the whole week.
Have a fun trip!

At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

They are not two weeks apart this year. President's Day (2-16) is one week (and one day) before Mardi Gras (2-24) this year.
Next year, President's Day is the day before Mardi Gras, so that week will probably be very busy.

Sorry your right it is only a week. But still why peak season? I never remember it being like that. Normally it's regular if not value. I think we have deceided to hold off for Mardi Gras and stay a couple extra days for Christmas insteed.

I've never been during Mardi Gras. We left the Sunday before Mardi Gras one year. But family and friends of mine who have visited for Mardi Gras the past few years have report it busy like crazy! My sister in law said it was worst than Thanksgiving week last year and swore she'd never go for Mardi Gras again.

Disney considers the Spring Break period to run from Presidents Day weekend through Easter, so since Mardi Gras falls within this time period (since Easter is later this year) it falls within peak season.

We were thinking about going during this time too. I didn't think the parks would be that crowded but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the heads up!

We were there for Mardi Gras for the first time last year (first week of Feb.) We normally go in November. It was not shoulder to shoulder at all. There were plenty people around-seemed like many of them were from Louisiana, but nothing like the parks get close to Thanksgiving. We'll be there again this Mardi Gras and are hoping that President's Day doesn't push the crowds too much higher. With Mardi Gras being on different dates each year, it's hard to compare to previous years. Sometimes it coincides with other things that affect park attendance. We are preparing for a busy time and getting our purple/green/gold shirts out!

Since Mardi Gras falls right in the middle of Spring break this year it will be much busier.
I am not scared though, I will be there!!
I love it when Mardi Gras fall early February, but then it is during dance competition. I am just glad that we are not dancing this year.
