I have a chance to take a Spring Trip. Which dates would be best? According to my Unofficial Guide 2005 Both weeks are about the same as far as crowds. I see That Star Wars Weekends will be going on in May. The Kids would also have to miss their last two days of school then. In March it is Spring break but also Easter. I have been there in July and October and the crowds then seemed ok. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Crowds will be huge at Easter!!!!
Late May will be warmer but the crowds will not be as bad.

I agree with MrsJ. Crowds are outrageous at Easter time. I was at the MK on Easter Sunday 2002 and it was nuts. The parks the week after were also crazy. They even closed the MK because the parking lots were full to capacity.

I vote for late May for sure.

Can you justify both times? I agree about the late March early April time, we were there this year on April 1 and the crowds were heavy. We managed to do everything we wanted thanks to Fastpass and allowing three days for the parks. Late May early June was nice too, crowds seemed a little smaller and it was a touch warmer for swimming. Come on, it's only money, right? Just kidding with you, hope you don't take offense. It's just we are such a Disney family that my DH is trying to justify moving to Orlando just to be close

We were there for Easter this year and are going again in 05, crowds were large but manageable. Use fastpass wisely and take afternoon breaks by the pool and you'll be fine. Our kids are off the week following Easter so options are limited. Weather is perfect! Do not want to deal with summer heat and crowds combined. Just got CRT this morning for 3/26. Good Luck.
