Crowd Levels in April

[TinkandAriel]

Year one, we went the first week of April, and the crowd levels were wonderful. Last year, we went the last week of May and the crowd levels were a bit higher than the year before, but still manageable (20 min wait for ToT for ex). So, I'm thinking crowd levels are all based on each persons perspective...however, with Easter being early this year, and I'm thinking of splitting our stay between two weeks, from Apr 23-May 1, what would the general guess on crowd levels be? I just don't know, it's either then or Mar 31-Apr 8. I'd rather the end of Apr, bc it's partly over dd's vaca. *Bangs head against wall*

Personally I would go with the end of April/ beginning of May. Spring Breaks are mostly in March so you will have higher crowds during the March/April time frame. Most all schools are done with breaks by the end of April. But by waite until the end of May last time you probably hit crowds from schools that got out of school early in the year.

Hi there! So glad you asked this question we are thinking possibly the week of April 20th, how do they crowds look then? My dh is going to a seminar in Orlando so we figured we could squeeze in a mini trip but the April crowds scare me, we usually go in Dec when it is dead

We will be at Disney March 8-14. I was wondering if anyone who had been there at the same time last year, could tell me what the crowds were like? I am becoming obsessed about this trip. My DH thinks I am over planning. This will be our third trip to Disney since 96. Both of these trips were in the summer. The other two trips we stayed at ASM and we only ate CS meals. We did do CRT for breakfast once. This time we are staying at POFQ and we will have the DDP. I have made reservations for Crystal Palace, Ohana's, Les Celliar, Coral Reef, Chef Mickey's, 50's prime time, and Akershus Royal hall for breakfast.


Thanks for helping me plan the best vacation ever,

Kandi

I suggest checking to see when the New England schools have break in April. It does not coincide with Easter.

I went and checked the spring breaks and from March through most of April someone somewhere is on break.We are going April 4-14 and Some South states have break-New England is the next week and the large Pittsburgh districts anre March.I am NY and we have it Easter week....there was not one "free week" in either month.Last year we went when New England was off and the crowds were very manageable...

Our break is the week of April 21-25. We decided to take our DS out of school the 16th and head on down to WDW then. We have gone during end of June beginning of July and in August and the crowds were crazy. This will be our first Spring trip, so we are looking forward to it.

We are going the first week of March and I am hoping the crowd level isn't too bad. I was trying to pick a week that would have good weather, but not over crowded as my 2 year old and 5 year old don't do well in really long lines! LOL!
