Which dates would you choose between, for my possible split stay?

I am thinking of changing of dates from February 3-7th, to either February 23-28th or March 2-7th. Other guest in my party really want the chance of some warmer temps. I am hoping the resorts and parks won't be too crowded then. I am now thinking of doing one night at AoA, for my daughter and four nights at POR.

We've been at the end of January/early February and in early March. Weather was fine for swimming both trips. Crowds seemed about the same. I'd avoid Presidents' Day weekend but otherwise I'm not sure there's much difference in this range.

Ya, we went the first week this past February. Perfect weather and crowds, but a little chilly for myself to swim.

I'm just wondering how the marathon might effect us in February in the parks, on Sunday.

We were there during the Princess Half marathon in 2016 and the parks were fine. It is the transportation to the parks that you have to be careful of.

Just check out when Mardi Gras is too! (February 13 - just checked) That week can be incredibly busy.

Presidents Day WEEK in February is a big school vacation week in the Northeast. Lots of families head to WDW for vacation. I would avoid it.

I was just about to say the same thing. Plus the average temperature is only a few degrees higher.

I am kinda leaning more so to March.
