Can anyone compare the "busi-ness" of the parks over Christmas Break (starting a day or 2 after christmas) to traditional Spring Break (the week before and after Easter)?

How does it compare? Thanks!

Christmas week is THE busiest week of the year and week before and the week after Easter are in a tie for the second busiest week of the year. During the Christmas through New Year's week, it is almost a given that MK will go down into some kind of closure mode due to being at capacity. This can happen at Easter time also, but not as likely as Christmas week. All of the weeks mentioned are 10s on the UG's crowd calender (on a 1 - 10 scale). Both times of year will have very late evening Extra Magic Hours to try to accomodate the massive crowds. Christmas has fantastic decorations and holiday events, but the weather can be iffy. Easter will have fantastic weather. Those are the only big differences I can, personally, think of.
 
Like PrincessTiffany stated, Christmas week is the worst and Easter is the lesser of two evils, but still very crowded. Not really a major difference IMO and we have been both times.
