April 26 - May 5, any idea what the parks, crowds and weather will be like?

Thanks! I'm getting married there and having my honeymoon with my fiancee who has never been. I want to make him fall in love with Disneyworld!

We have been during that time twice and always enjoy our visits. The parks aren't crowded but there are enough people for it to be festive. FastPasses work great for the rides with long lines. We used them for BMTR, Splash Mt., & Test Track. Walked onto ToT & Rock n'roller coaster. The weather has been wonderful for us - our first time it rained for about an hour one afternoon and last year there was a morning of rain and that was all. It can get sort of hot in the afternoon but certainly not unbearable (maybe high 80's). Nights are beautiful and warm. Be sure to make priority seating arrangements for meals because the restaurants get pretty full. I think you'll have a great time. Happy Homeymooning!

Hot, and crowds are very do able. We always go this time of year and with the use of fast pass never seem to wait very long. Pack lots of sunscreen.

Hi hockymom! If you see us while you're in DW say hi! I have a mohawk and will be wearing the mouse ears veil, and Mat will have on the top hat. We are both pretty short

One thing to be aware of is that Disney usually has grad nights that time of year on Fri and Sat -- it is a highly organized event for high school seniors (and eighth graders and college if you like) and their guests and groups come from several states. The focus is MK and MK will close somewhat earlier than usual to regular guests as the grad groups then get to spend most of the night there both for usual attractions and bands.

Congrats on your marriage and honeymoon.

I HOPE that the crowds are good since we will be there the EXACT time for OUR honeymoon!!!!

What day are you getting married - we are getting married in NY on the 24th, then flying in early morning on the 26th and staying at the AKL concierge until the 3rd.

We were spoiled by the crowds last time (we went in January 2 years ago right after the marathon) and there were almost no lines at all!

I am so happy for you. My DH and I spent our honeymoon there on that exact week 12 years ago. We were married on the 25th of April and spent the following week at the GF. We couldn't have asked for a better time. I had never been to WDW and I was instantly hooked. We had a view of the castle and watched it from the balcony every night.

The weather was incredible. It was in the 70's and 80's each day. We even wore a windbreaker a couple days. Only one day did it rain. We just returned 3 years ago with our 2 little boys and seeing the magic in their eyes is incredible. I still say to this day that the memories from our honeymoon are the best ever!!

Expect to have a wonderful time. I wish you the very best and hope to see that you return years from now like we did. Our next trip is slated for May 2004.

Congratulations and have a great time.
