Crowds??? April 23-30

[molly1206]

Anyone know how crowded it gets the week the Easter rush? I know the prices go down on 4/23, so I am assuming thats when most people go home, back to school, etc,.. We are going 4/23-30, and just wondering what it will be like?

The last week of April has been "our week" to go to WDW for the past couple of years. The weather is perfect (high 70's, low 80's with very little humidity or rain) and the crowds are very bearable. The key is to have some type of plan - get to the parks early, use Fastpass, etc. We have used advice from the Unofficial Guide before and it has worked very well. We never wait more than 20 minutes for a ride and usually can get on anything with less than 10 minutes wait. Of course, with Fastpass the wait is minimal anyway. We love the evening Extra Magic Hours at MK - last year we found that after midnight the crowds really cleared away and we had Big Thunder and Splash Mtn all to ourselves (earlier in the day the waits were 90 minutes). We also have park hopper tickets so that if we find that MK (for example) gets too busy, we can just hop somewhere else.
