Disney after Easter?

[duckybelle]

We are getting to Orlando the day before Easter, and are spending Easter out an about. We will start hitting the parks on Monday, I believe its the 24th. Ive heard its VERY busy, but its the only time we can go this year. ANY suggestions would be helpful on crowd control.I havent been in 17 years and now Im taking my 16 yr old daughter and 11 year old son along with my, well, he will be my hubby by then.

I give you this advice. Use Fast Passes on anything you can!

I HIGHLY recommend joining Tourguidemike.com. At first it is a little over whelming but he gives you recommendations on what days to go to what parks and the guy is right on the money.... we are frequent travelers and we never go without looking at his info..... there is also a section where you can get toruing plans.... the forums are very helpful as well.... the folks there are very willing to help out with any questions..... it is worth the very small price you pay when you compare it to what you are spending on the vacation... and it works!!!

Ive read a lot about the fast passes and intend to use them. I am trying to do this as cheap as possible (haha) so we are bringin snacks, Ive already went to the local dollar store here and bought rain gear, etc. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

We went Easter 2007.

Do Early Entry AM at AK & MK, have an ADR for lunch, then get out of the MK & AK Parks.

Do late afternoon - Evening Late Entry at EPCOT & DHS. Have an ADR for dinner.

Spend an afternoon or morning, depending on your Park day, at the pool, go mni golfing, rent water craft, fishing, horseback riding, DTD shopping, sleeping late, what ever.....

Utilize FP's when ever you can.

Enjoy the flowers at EPCOT.

If you plan your days well, have ADR's so you are not left out without a meal, and remember to relax and enjoy - you will have a blast.

Out of 14 days we only had 1 rainy day, 1 cold day (jeans and sweatshirts), and the rest of the week was just wonderful weather.
No need for major rain gear.
But I would bring a sweatshirt (or buy one when at WDW) to WDW.
