Any opinions about IOA on Easter Sunday (4/15)?

We'll be at the Swan from 4/14 to 4/19 (Sat - THurs. morn.) DS is obsessed with Dr. Seuss, so I've given in to 1 day at IOA. I know not to visit MK on Easter Sunday, and I'd rather not do it on Sat. either. That only leaves me Mon., Tues. & Weds. for MK. Would IOA on Easter be insane??

My theory is that it wouldn't be any worse that any other days that week. Plus, I can't imagine many locals purposely coming to IOA on a holiday. I would think that Sat. or Mon. would be more popular for them. Am I crazy?

Also, does anything special happen on Easter at IOA?

Thanks for any insight!!!

I haven't heard about special Easter events.

Being that it is a holiday weekend and the last 2 weeks of April tend to be busy, I would expect the park to be busy then. You can avoid the lines by arriving right at opening and using Universal Express. Also, remember onsite hotel guests get FOTL all day.

Actually, of all the days during the Easter holiday, (none being very good) - Easter Sunday is by far the best. Most folks are in the traffic jam trying to fight there way into the Magic Kingdom in the hopes of seeing the parade.

However, get there as soon as the park opens (in other words - forget the "typical" pattern of church services Easter morning - go to church the night before!).

Both parks will be surprisingly slow in the morning - should be able to get lots of rides in. Save the shows for the afternoon because the HUGE crowds of guests starts showing up around 12noon - then the lines get outrageous!
