Disney in spring/Easter?

[piratemamaof3]

We are going in the spring some time and need some suggestions as to good times. Easter will be April 12th next year. Is it really busy the week of Easter? I know different places have spring break at different time so I want to avoid the busiest time if we can.

What tends to be better March, April, May? Where we are staying we don't need to pick just yet but I need to start making plans soon.

Any ideas will be helpful.

I always travel to Disney during the summer but my sister has gone a few times over Spring Break. It always has seemed to be busy because not only are you dealing with Spring Break that time of year but Senior Trips as well.

We went this year the week after Easter, and yes, it was busy. All I can say is utilize fastpasses, take advantage of EMH, and follow all the tips you can find. We did everything we wanted, plus a few more!

We love Easter. Use the early and late entry hours into the parks. Make ADR's ahead of time (180 day mark). Get FP's in the AM for the rides which are favorites.
Relax midday (pool, nap, DTD, minigolf, whatever floats your boat)

Go to EPCOT on Easter Sunday.

The weather is wonderful.

Use DDP so not to have to pay the holiday price increases during Easter weeks at restuarants,

Here's a nice thread about spring breaks to give an idea of timing.

We're going the week before Easter, April 5th-11th. I anticipate it will be busy, but it has the benefit of good weather and not costing the kid's any school time. Me on hte other hand? I'll be missing 6 days of classes, 3 weeks before finals begin. Ah well, can't be helped!
