My guess would be crazy busy, being the week of Easter and a lot of spring breaks.

Really even if is clouse to the end of the week WOW i hope is not

Yes, super busy! One way to tell is to check the operating hours of the parks. If they are extended, then Disney is expecting large crowds and you can too.

ok thanks i guess we will be using alot of FAST PASS

Sorry, but it will be packed because different schools have different Spring Breaks. The crowds start the week before Easter and don't let up until mid-late April. But don't worry, the main ideas for busy season touring are:

-Arrive early early early! Single most important tip. You can get so much done in the first couple hours compared to the rest of the day.
-Use FastPass. There are a few threads on here on how to take full advantage of it (check out Hydroguy's threads)
-Eat at off hours (food lines can be just as long as ride lines)
-If you want to see any entertainment (fireworks, fantasmic, parades) be sure to get "seats" early.

If your times are flexible, I would probably choose another time to go.

You should follow DLR29's advice.

- Get to DL gate 30-40 min. before opening. (STANDING IN LINE AT THE GATE)
- On Thurs. get to gate 30 min. before MM/EE opening (since you have a 3 day pass & i assume you have MM priviledge.)
- Tour DL the first 2.5 - 4 hours while picking up FPs.
- (You'll want to tour Fantasyland once or twice on your trip THE FIRST HOUR.) Ask if you need a recommended FL ride order.
- Hop to DCA for 2-3 hours when it gets crowded.
- Go back to room in afternoon for nap/swim.
- Go back to DL in the evening with the 3-5 FPs that you picked up early.

Read HydroGuy's tip thread on how to do DLR on a busy day.

Have fun.

If she likes Princesses take her Ariel's Grotto for lunch. She will love it!! Or do Princess Fantasy Faire, altho the wait times are insane.
