After this weekend, we should see a period of lighter crowds. We were there yesterday and it was still quite busy. Many schools are off this week (including my wife's and mine ), but this should be the last week of spring breaks.
Of course, Food and Wine starts on the 16th, so there will be a bump for that, but nothing compared to what spring breaks do to the crowds. Just MHO.
We are in the San Francisco Bay area/San Jose and schools here are on break next week (April 12-On). We are going the week April 25 hoping all breaks will be over.
Nope. MANY L.A. County schools are off NEXT week. April 12-16. My sister is a teacher up in L.A. and has next week off. And, my son attends a year round school here in O.C., and will STILL be off next week too.
I would not expect crowds to lessen until later in the month. It was CRAZY packed on Tuesday. Shoulder to shoulder people. Ridiculous!
