March 4-10 crowds versus April 8-14

I don't usually go during peak season, but I'm tempted because of 4/3 discount plus the $200 gift card incentive.

Does anyone know how crowded it is supposed to be the week of March 4-10? I hate crowds, as does DH. If crowds are significantly larger, it would kill the $200 bonus.

April 8-14 includes Easter which is the highest crowd levels of the year.(Plus the $200 is only good until March 29th i think) I would go for March 4-10 with lower crowd levels and $200 GC! We were going to go then (my bday is 3-3) but could not get it paid for before the 45 days so we are going later in April.

Duh, Easter. I definitely would not go then, but I could go later in April. I must have read my info wrong.

Guess my main question is how crowded will March be...and now I'll go back and check rates for post-Easter....

I think both are very busy times. March - you have college kids and southern states on Spring Break throughout the month.

April you have the entire northeast on Spring break plus a good portion of the norther US.

I'm in GA and our spring break is in April so I'm not sure of which states would be more southern or out in March. We, me, DD17, and DD's BFF, went last year (week starting April 9) for spring break and it was packed out!! We didn't have issues with it too much but it was a very busy time to be there!! I would definitely do March.

I can tell you that your looking at the same times we were looking at First 2 weeks of Marcha nd then the end of April. Crowd calendar was VERY similar. We opted for end of April because it wil be warmer. I am coming from COLD weather and want to feel the warmth on vacation! Plus we want to go to the beach and hope the water is warmer at the end of April.

We were down the first week of March for our wedding last year and didn't really have any problems with crowds. We checked out on March 9th and that weekend was when people started filing in, but Easter was in March last year.

I was there at the beginning of March 2006 also and I didn't have any real problems either. It was college spring break for a friend and I, but most of our fellow students headed to the beach and not Disney :goodvibes
