With that said, there are a few things to consider if you plan to visit Disneyland in February.
In this post, I’ll cover six things you should consider when planning a visit to Disneyland.

Below you’ll find a few things you might want to consider packing if you’ll be traveling to Disneyland in February.
Umbrella, Poncho & Stroller Protection
Although the weather forecast for Disneyland in February usually only calls for a few days of rain, we all know that the weather is unpredictable.
Be prepared with a small travel umbrella and a poncho.
Not only can you use a poncho if it rains, but it can also come in handy to wear on rides like Splash Mountain or Grizzly River Run!
You’ll also want to think about keeping your stroller dry if you have one. For some strollers, you can buy a special cover specifically made for it.
But those covers can be expensive. I like to buy a shower curtain liner from Dollar Tree and use clothes pins to hold it in place over the stroller.
The total cost is $2.00 and it works like a champ!
Sun Protection
The California sun can be brutal, even in the winter months. Make sure that you are ready for the UV rays by packing some sunblock, hat, and sunglasses.
Also, don’t forget to protect your kids! Nothing ruins a magical vacation like a sunburn!
Travel Blanket
A travel blanket is also a good idea to bring along with you to Disneyland in February.

Not only will it keep you warm on those chilly February nights, but it can also serve another purpose. It can be great to sit on while watching a parade or fireworks show.
Pack for both Warm and Cold Weather
The mornings and evenings at Disneyland can be pretty chilly, but the days will be warm. This makes packing clothing for Disneyland in February a little tricky.
Pack jeans or long pants to stay warm and comfortable during the cooler temperatures.
Wear a short-sleeved top and bring a lightweight jacket or sweater that can be kept in a backpack or worn around your waist during the day.
Pack Adorable Disney Apparel
Before any Disney vacation, I like to check out Jane.com for adorable and affordable Disney vacation t-shirts!
I have found so many cute shirts for only $13.99! Their deals change daily though, so make sure to check back often and follow @mommymouseclubhouse on Instagram to keep up on all of the amazing Disney-themed merchandise!

Disneyland Ride Closures
The downside with visiting Disneyland during the slower months like February, is that there are generally more ride closures than other times of the year.
Because of this, it’s important to stay up to date with ride closures by checking Disneyland’s website.
Disneyland seems to update their list one to two months ahead of time, so check back in December or January for current information.
Disneyland Ticket Savings in February
There aren’t a lot of Disneyland ticket savings out there, but they can be found if you know where to look.
Make sure that if you buy Disney tickets from a third party, that they are an authorized ticket seller.
I usually buy my park tickets from Get Away Today. Their ticket prices are almost always a few dollars cheaper than Disneyland’s gate prices.
Get Away Today is also doing a special right now on their Disneyland tickets. You can get an Adult 3 Day Park Hopper Ticket for the price of a child’s ticket!
That’s up to a $19 savings per ticket! Check out www.getawaytoday.com for current deals.
You can always use the Get Away Today promo code: MommyMouse to get $10 off any 2-night or longer Southern California package. (Hotel and 2 ticket minimum purchase to qualify for the discount).
