best parks ~ week after Easter

[rockin_rep]

Oh i hope you experts can help me, as my head is truly and totally spinning!!! We've been before but always had more time....

We'll be park hopping the Wednesday,Thursday and Friday AFTER easter, and not sure which to do first on each day.

We only have the three days, but we'll stay on site for early entry, but i keep reading those are the days you shouldn't go early, but to the others!?

And we'd like to ride Expedition Everest, but really thats about it for AK ~ so how should we work that in? First thing one morning, or late in the day / evening?

I would greatly appreciate any and all opinions.
Thank you so much.

We'll be there then too. My only advice is that on the Friday after Easter the MK closes at 7pm for a grad night party.

Oh shoot! We love ending our week by staying late at MK! Why would they schedule it this early?

But thanks so much for the reply.

Anyone else have any ideas? All would be appreciated.

Bumping to the top ~ hoping someone can PLEASE give me their advice and wisdom!

Phew, i'm so relieved!

I just did a check ~ DISNEY WORLD GRAD NITES are
APRIL 28, 29 & MAY 5, 6.

I was referring to April 21 ~ is that when you'll be there, too?

 

[Hopefully]

I will be there from April 23rd to April 30th during Grad Nights, so any advise for that period of time is also appreciated.

Ooops, sorry no we'll be there the week after. We're living in Greece right now and Orthodox Easter falls one week after non-Orthodox Easter (this year) so I'm all messed up on dates!

There is a great website which tries to predict crowd levels on specific days and tells you which parks should be least and most crowded.

Supposedly they are fairly accurate. Personally, we avoid the park(s) with the EMH and try to have breakfast in the park before it opens.

Yes, i'd heard that about EMH and also usually avoid that park. However, with only three full days this year i'm wondering if that still applies.... that maybe we should not only use morning EMH and get there even before that hour starts....

Thoughts, anyone?

I was at Epcot on the Thursday after Easter and the park was not crowded at all. Get some World rides done in the morning and then get over to the Land when it opens at 11:00 , totally empty. Then go back and do some rides in the late afternoon at the World, it will be empty, because everyone will have made their way over to the Land. MGM was also low crowds on Monday after Easter, but you won't be there. I think a lot of people come after Easter, but go to the MK, I heard that park was busy every day, same with the water parks.

i guess i am in the minority here but i LOVE morning emh !! we always do them and ride everything we want in an hour then leave and usually go back to the hotel and have a big breakfast. the lines start to get long by the time the park opens up to everyone else. if you plan to ride exp. everest i would get to the park early to go ahead and get in line for the turnstiles, then run directly to ex. ev. and i would not think you would have a problem (except for riding a roller coaster at 8 am, lol). we have tried the pm emh's and with the exception of ak, they have all been really really crowded. we are going to be there the same week as you and our strategy is to only do the parks that have am emh to hopefully avoid most of the crowds. we have 3 young kids and waiting in line 2 hours isn't something we plan on doing alot

Wow, The Land doesn't open until 1100am? I didn't know that. And it's one of our faves.

But isn't that first hour really packed, too?

Also, for evening EMH -- isn't there an extra charge? Or am i thinking of something else? (my head is swimming right now......!!!)

i am not sure how spring break will affect the am emh, but whenever we have gone we have been able to ride all of the fantasy land rides by the time the park opens to the rest of the public. we then go to frontierland to be first in line for splash mt and get a fast pass for thunder mt. since only fantsyland and tommoroland are the only lands open for emh. then since you are in the park already you get to be right there when they drop the ropes for frontierland. we are running around like crazy in the morning, but we never wait more than 10 minutes for a ride and get to do everything we want.
the pm emh are free to resort guests. a few years ago mk had ee night and you paid $10. i would love it if they would do that again, there were no lines and it was alot of fun.

Thanks for the reply!

Do you think this site (emh attraction list) is still current for Easter week:

Is there another / better site that is more current?
