Early Easter quandary for 2026- please help me choose dates?

[pangyal]

Hello knowledgeable DL vets- I am slowly becoming one of you, but still need help figuring out when things get slammed over here (yes, here now ).

I really enjoyed Star Wars Nite last night, but am not sure I need to do it again, at least not next year. However, a quick five-day trip is fast becoming my perfect battery recharge. So, I was just about to pull the trigger on the same week next year when I noticed that Easter is the first weekend in April. I believe that I should avoid that, then? Here are my choices: April 6-11 (Easter Monday included in this), May 11-16, or May 27-31. If anyone might be able to spend a minute or two letting me know the pros and cons of each, I’d really appreciate it !

I would do the April dates. Disney has the week before that blocked for all but the highest magic keys which is an indicator that they expect that to be the busiest week of spring break. That first day might be a bit busy with left over Easter travelers but I would think the rest of the week would be fine. The May dates will likely coincide with Grad Nights and while I generally don't notice too much difference it is just another thing to think about in terms of which days to do which parks and I don't like to have to think about that. Others may have other thoughts but those are mine. Also Food and Wine should still be going on and I always enjoy that along with the opportunity to ride Soarin' over California instead of World.
