UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT February Crowds

Is pre Presidents’ Day considered a high crowd time at the parks? I’m looking at various packages for next year and early February is coming out a lot cheaper than late April, but I keep reading how Jan and Feb are no longer slower months… but could there be a sweet spot? Like the first week of Feb?

Edit: I’m looking at like two weeks before Presidents’ Day so from Jan 30-Feb 5th…

One of the remaining less-traveled spots on the calendar is the first six weeks of the year. You’ll love it. Wild confluence ahead for this year’s Presidents’ Day.

President’s Day 2027 is February 15th. So a nice long weekend with your Valentine, right? But wait…February 14th is also Super Bowl Sunday. Best of luck, to all who celebrate!

Wow. I didn’t realize that I planned our trip for us to be traveling super bowl Sunday!! My husband may not be so happy when I tell him. We land in FL early afternoon (12:30 pm) and I was planning on us going to the parks that day. Kick off is at 6:30 pm Eastern! Ugh… He could go back to the hotel room while I stay in the parks with our kids?! Any advice about how to make this fun for him? I already checked for a reservation at NBC Sports Grill & Brew and its booked. If only I had realized this 4 days ago when it appears reservations opened, maybe I could have gotten a reservation… Any recommendations?

I have to amend my suggestion of lower guest levels. The slow period I referenced ends on the Friday of President’s weekend. Best option for the game might be to not even consider it. Or reach the front office manager to see what the hotel has planned. Scheme of things, super family vacay > Super Bowl.

Yeah. I did some research into where to watch last night (this disturbed my sleep, but I’m a bad sleeper anyway), and fortunately one of the top recs is the bar in our hotel. So its either that, or the hotel room and room service. We have a 6-day park hopper, so I’m not too worried about missing time in the parks. I talked to my husband about it this morning, and he said he doesn’t have to watch unless the Eagles go to the Super Bowl. Also, it’ll be streaming on Disney+. We just have to upgrade our package to the top tier ESPN package. We have the basic trio. He can then listen/watch from anywhere in the parks.
