Busy in March?

Im thinking of visiting Sun 9th March - Fri 14th March. Is this a good time to visit? What will the crowds be like?

It shouldnt be too bad as its outside the main school holiday time. DD finishes on 14th for the 2 week Easter break. As Easter is so early this year some schools are having their break later in April but I cant see any having it earlier.

However saying that I think there is a kids under 12 free offer on at that time

Double check if this is the week when the kids go free and an extra night free offers are running, we have been twice during this time and it's busy, especially noticeable at the weekends. If it's just the Kids Go Free it shouldn't be too bad.
Expect queues of 30-50 mins for BTM, Phantom manor, POTC, for us we've always noticed that the Fantasyland rides have the longest wait times, I recall seeing a 90 minute wait for Snow White
I wouldn't hesitate to go again around this time though, the extra days we could afford due to the offers gave us plenty of time to do everything. The weather is pretty changeable though, it was bitterly cold with sleet and snow in 2004, in 2006 it was bright and sunny but chilly and last year I seem to remember people saying the weather was unusually warm, although that all changed 2 weeks later when we visited at the end of March.

Hope this helps

Extra night free is for arrivals from 7th to 12th March 2008 and kids upto 12 are free.

We went this year midweek in March during the same time and offers and it was reasonably crowded but nowhere as busy as this October half term.

Only complaint was that both parks were closed by 7pm.

Weather was very warm upto 20c but got chilly in the evenings.
