We're planing to go to DLP March/April 2012, so I'd like to know if there are any local holidays in that time. I do not want to hid crowds of people, long queues etc. Anyone know?

oh my not much time to make a visit to DLP during that time. Oh wow.. the dates need to be worked out very good.

Don't be afraid. A reasonnable quantity of the countries listed in my post are not so often coming to DLP.

IMHO I would spot periods when Spanish, British and French students are at school. Remember also that weather has a quite big influence on the number of visits.

Do not hesitate to ask if you need other infos.

We did two March trips.
One was very busy and one was very quiet. if you can time it for the quiet period you'll find many things to be a walk on and any wait times to be short - around 30mins was the worst we saw on our quiet trip (March 2010)
Have a look at my TR from then if you like - Its called the Can we come too TR. Will post link in a minute

I loved the trip in March this year, just before st.Patrick's day and it was great. After looking at the prices I'm thinking about 26 March for 5 night.

Presume April will be busier as the 20th Anniversary will start
