We were there the last week of Feb this year and the crowds were very low! However it was the week after Pres. Day and not Mardi Gras. I believe this coming year it will be Pres. Week so that will totally change things. It was also COLD this year for most of our week, only 1 pool day. When I say cold I mean you needed fleece coats and gloves during a couple of the days! Also if you go the first week of March it is usually ESPN the weekend which will effect things at the Studios.
