April 11-16 - still high crowds and advice on what parks on what days????

[angiebaylor]

Will the Easter/Spring Break crowds still be high this week or do you think it will be ending and not so bad??

Also since this is my first time to go to Disneyland I was wondering if anyone could help me out about what parks would be best to hit on certain days. Or are their days to avoid certain parks/areas?

Thanks so much for anytips or help you may have!!!!

This will probably be the last week of Spring breaks. It won't be as busy as the week before and after Easter. But based on park hours they are expecting a number of people to be in the park that week.

Parks: Unlike WDW, it is best to park hop everyday if you choose. The park entrances are across the esplanade from each other and very easy to hop over to DCA when DL crowds pick up. I would definitely go to DCA on Sunday, Thursday or Friday to see Aladdin. It looks like Fireworks will be shown nightly.

Visit both parks each day.

We're on Spring Break here in Northern Nevada that week, but not too many other districts are that I have found. I think it will be quite a bit slower than the two weeks prior and certainly slower than when we went in October! And definitely plan on hopping each day. DL first thing in the morning until lunch time , DCA in the afternoon and then back to DL for the evening is our norm.

100% agree with all of the above comments.

Start every day (or most days) at DL for 2-4 hours (touring & picking up FPs for later in uncrowded bliss). Hop to DCA for a couple or few hours....&/or take a break....then return to DL with 3-5 FPs in your pocket in the late afternoon or evening.

Rinse & repeat each day.
