Crowd Report if you're @ USF week after Easter

[dundee10]

If you will be at USF/IOA Easter and Monday, would you send in a crowd report to this board? We're real iffy about whether to go, given that tourism seems up this year and this would already be a busy time. But if we hear reports that the crowds are not TOO bad, we might make a spur-of-the-moment mini-trip down that week.

Thanks in advance for anyone who could do this.

the week before Easter & the week after, in my opinion, are about the same. Some schools are off the week before & others the week after...we are the week after. I am staying on Disney's property (cheaper), but going to Universal as well as Disney parks.... I am already planning on heavy crowds.

Not there yet - but will be April 1/2. Crowds will be higher on the scale so we're opting to stay at RPR one night out of our WDW/port orleans trip to get the FOTL passes. Will try to let you know about the crowds when we arrive.

Expect it to be semi busy. Saturdays it will be packed. Today I saw Revenge of the Mummy had about a 75 minute wait, not too bad, but not short either.

Yes, today (Easter Sunday) was very busy. I'll let you know how it is tomorrow.

Not sure if this will help or not, but I went a few years ago on Easter Weekend which was the Wed. before till Easter Mom. Stay at the Hard Rock, and had no problem with the crowds because of the FOTL access which you get by staying on site. I would go again at this time without a doubt.

I only looked at 2 ride wait times as I was only there an hour. Shrek was 45 minutes, which was what it was last week and MIB was 90 minutes whereas last week at the same time it was 110 minutes. This was at 3:00 PM today which is a busy time. The parks looked to be very crowded but not quite as crowded as last week. Hope that helps somewhat.

We were there today - we are local so no hotel guest/FOTL for us. We did Islands of Adventure today. We should have arrived earlier. We took the Kirkman exit and avoided the looooooong line of cars exiting I-4. There were lots and lots of people in the park!! We only did two rides (Cat in the Hat and the Caro-Seuss-el). Flying Unicorn was an hour and the Pterodon ride was 90 minutes.... we left earlier than planned and figured we go back in a few weeks (We were just there today cuz family was visiting for Easter).

It was a Sea of Humanity!!! But if I had FOTL I guess I wouldn't have cared as much.

Good luck with your trip!
