I actaully don't think it is surprising. Some people who were interested in going the first week of May could have pushed back their trips until AFTER the 5th in order to take advantage of new attractions and Magical Express. I don't think the 5th itself is particularly appealing.
The poll only gave me one choice.
We're from Long Island and the kids' have off next week, 25-29.
We're going down on April 20 - May 1 staying at CBR and then on DCL and then at Magical Memories condos.
The only thing I don't understand is if it's supposed to be so busy, why is there only 1 night of Spectro for our entire stay??
We're going from Th. 4/28- Wed. 5/5 and the only Spectro night is the first night we're there (Thurs). Are there "grad nites" over the weekend?? If so then still, why no Spectro on Mon or Tue either if it's supposed to be so busy, I'm baffled on that one???
Does the Official Disney site not have this up? Because I don't see ANY Spectro parades at all from Friday, 4/29 through Wednesday 5/5...only see them on Thursdays??
