April or May?

[jothp]

Hi, most of our previous trips have been in half term week at the end of May beginning of June. Next year however we are thinking of going in April instead. It won't be Easter weekend and there are no French Schools on holiday that week although Belgian schools are off and schools in Kent will all be off (not sure about all parts of the UK because Easter weekend is the very last weekend of our fortnight). Does anyone have any experience of how April might compare to May in terms of how busy the parks are?

Thanks Jo

Hey jothp, in my experience April during Easter is as bad as summer - but so long as you avoid this period by a week either side or so, it's about the same as May time Lovely time to see Paris, as Frank Sinatra has noted!

Thanks Wendybird7. We were thinking of being there something like 5-8th April and Easter isn't until 20th so It sounds like we should be not too bad. We have been in summer before and found it quite manageable.
