Crowds Easter Week

[skier_pete]

So, I've never been to DL, I'm a WDW guy myself. The oppurtunity presents itself for a quick hop to DL from Arizona during spring break. This begs the question...how bad are the crowds Easter week (4/11 - 4/18 week AFTER easter)at DisneyLand. Am I wasting my time going because of BIG crowds?

TIA,
SkierPete

PS I usually hate these threads, so I apologize for asking something that has been asked a zillion times, but I am in a rush.

Big crowds for sure on Easter & into the next week......wasting time going??? I wouldn't say so....we did this last year. We still had the time of our lives!! Yes, there will be long lines....but avoid them by using FP's when possible. Get there early, leave during the afternoon for a swim or nap & then come back & stay until closing!! We were able to see & do everything we had planned. I never think going to Disneyland as a waste of time.....busier at times, but always worth it!!

I like what you're saying here DizNee. I'm taking my wife and 4 kids for our first family trip Tuesday, April 7 to Saturday April 11. Three girls and one boy ages 10, 12, 13 and 17. We've been talking about doing this for years and finally are pulling the trigger. I went when I was kid back in 1979.
