crowds late spring/early summer?

I know it's going to be busy pretty much from now until right after Easter. Then it appears the crowds will thin out alittle around the very end of April, for most of May. When do they begin to pick back up again? Is it closer to Memorial Day or a little further into June? Also, would you rate the crowds in most of May as being similar to the spring break weeks of March & April, or more like February (minus President's Day). We were there the 1st week of February this year and found the crowds to be pretty moderate. Actually they were pretty similar to what we expierenced last year when we went a week after Easter. We were hoping to get back at the end of March, beginning of April but it looks like I may have to wait until May. I just don't want to be fighting huge crowds in the heat.

I was there last year 5/21 through 5/31 and the crowds were moderate after about 5/25. They were not unmanageable at all.

I've also been during the last week of March and the crowds were much heavier than May. Probably because of spring break.

My family and I have gone to Disney for the past four years always the first week of June. Our trip this year is planned for June 3-13th. The last two years we found the crowds to be pretty manageable. Our longest wait at the parks last summer was at Epcot - Test Track. The wait in the normal line was 45 minutes. Single riders waiting time was around 15 minutes.
I used both the "official" and "unofficial" guides to Disney to
prepare an itenerary. With a good iteneray, and fast pass, even moderate crowds did not present a problem with touring the parks. We only experience rain during this time on our last trip.
The other three times, Orlando was dealing with a drought, and smoke from area brush fires. The heat and humidity is oppressive at times, but we built in air-conditioned shows, and rest times during the early afternoon hours to give us a break.
Park hours usually become extended during this time. Good Luck!
