Does it make a difference?

Middle of March or middle of April for 2018, would it make a difference? Since Easter is the last weekend in March. Doesn't seem like that would effect either trip?

I would go middle of April. A lot of spring breaks will be happening in the middle of March, then you have Easter crowds end of March/beginning of April. So by the middle of April most of those spring break crowds should be died down.

I don’t think it’ll be a huge difference though. So I’d go when you find it best for you if any factors are different (hotel rates, possible flights, etc)

April 19-22 is Star Wars Dark Side race weekend. This will impact crowds and there will be road closures on property. If you’re wanting to stay at an Epcot area hotel that weekend I’d recommend booking soon as many rooms in that area are already booked.

Depends on the week, but I would try to check school calendars. Lots of Florida schools have Spring break in April. Most of Texas will be mid March. Both increase crowds, but not to crazy levels.

Many schools base spring break on Easter, which is one reason Holy Week (the week before Easter) is historically so busy. With an early Easter, I agree with PP that mid April should be lower crowd than usual this year.

Here's a thread with a poll for spring break. Majority are early march-early April. By mid April most spring breaks are done, at least here in the south.

Thanks all.

Much of New England is on break during the week of April 16.

Well sadly, most of April is taken up by standardized testing. And mid March doesn't look so great either.
Sadly I'll have to wait till August and the camping trip we have planned . (I know, I'm grateful for any trip, but one sooner would have been nice)

Many schools base spring break on Easter,

Many more don't.
