We would go into the first weekend of March. The dates are 2/25 - 3/3/07. I cannot stand crowds, so I'm looking for a less crowded time. I'd like it to be warm enough for the kids to swim a little, though.

We usually go the 6th week of the year (normally the 2nd full week of Feb.; runs into President's weekend). I'd like to try later on. I'm afraid to do 2/18 - 2/25 since President's day is on that Monday.

I know a couple of people went this year around that time. What did you think?

I went at this time in 2004 when Mardi Gras fell late, so we had the people who were still there from the Pres Day week on Sat & Sun, and Michigan (spring break) and Louisiana (Mardi Gras) there. Monday really wasn't any lighter than Sat or Sun (of course, we did do MK on Monday which is the worst day to do MK, but it was our last day, and therefore I don't know if it was better on Tues).

Next year, Mardi Gras falls on Feb 20 (coinciding with Pres Day), so after the weekend after Pres Day, it should be light since the presence of Michigan guests was a lot lighter than Louisiana guests.
