February 4-9, why no values or moderates available?

[Jeff]

Is there a special event going on?
Wife and I were thinking about a quick trip but WDW web site shows no reasonable rooms available, Swan unavailable as well!

[VWL Mom]

The only thing I was able to find was the National High School Cheerleading Competition @ WWoS.

NHSCC is the most prestigious cheerleading championship in the country and nationally televised on ESPN and ESPN2 to over 100 million homes and 32 countries nationwide each year.
February 6 — February 7, 2016

Thank you!

Mardi Gras is also that week. Feb. 9.

The only other two things I can find are:

Feb 7 (Sun): Super Bowl Sunday
Feb 9 (Tue): Mardi Gras

and neither one of those should create an "extra" amount of people

Mardi Gras week they get a huge influx of people from Louisiana. There is also the cheerleading competitions and they tend to take up the rooms at the values.

The Orlando Boat show is at the orange county convention center. Every fisherman and water sport enthusiast in the southeast that has money in their pocket will be down there and will bring their families. That along with the cheerleading competitions probably has the values sold out.

Mardi Gras will most definitely create a more crowded vacation. Being from Louisiana we have visited often during Mardi Gras and each year it seems more and more crowded. It's become comparable to summer crowds. We visited for Mardi Gras week and Thanksgiving week both in 2013, and believe it or not Mardi Gras week was the busier of the two.

Thanks all for your help!
