Crowds 3 weeks before Easter?

[Mousemom]

Easter is April 16th and we are going to be in WDW 3/24-4/2. I'm hoping that we will miss the Easter crowds. Can anyone give me an idea of what it is like during this time? I know that it is Spring Break but just hoping....

We're going at the same time. We've always gone the last week in March but usually Easter has been closer. It's always been busy so we get to parks early. They always tend to close by mid-day, but since we're already in, it's not a problem. We just take it in stride and make our ADR where we want to go. We usually get great weather and our kids love to play and swim at the pool. Despite the crowds, we love spring break time. It beats Chicago!

I worked in Disney-MGM Studios during that time in 2004. Hate to say it, but you may hit some pretty decent crowds. Not nearly as bad as Easter (unbearable), but with waits up to 90 minutes on rides like Rock 'N' Roller Coaster during peak times. It's nothing like summer or holidays, though so with some good day to day touring plans, you shouldn't have too many problems.
