Early June or 1st week of April 2020?

Hi all,
I'm sure this has been asked before, but trying to plan a trip for next year- my parents, my husband and I and 2 kids- 15 & 12. We've gone before in Sept, Oct and Feb and love the "off seasons" but looking to stick with school breaks if possible next trip. That being said, we'd be looking at the first week of April or 1st week or 2 of June. I know June will be hot and that's fine- last Sept trip was pretty hot so we can manage. Wondering if there will be a big difference in crowds between the two times. I know we can't predict the future, but for those who have gone those times before- thoughts? Also, I prefer to stay at the parks all day most days- just take it easy and do a late morning meal break and take advantage of shows/indoor rides for breaks instead of heading back to the resort.
Thank you!!

Generally speaking you'll find early April much busier than mid-June due to spring break.

Easter is April 12 next year. Disney is crowded and popular around just about any holiday.

Early June would get my vote. Many schools have not yet dismissed for summer break. It will be warm, but it’s summer in Florida after all! There’s no perfect time to visit, but we try to avoid both crowds and hot weather if possible, knowing we can deal with one, but would really prefer not to deal with both. I think June would be a safe bet for you.

Thank you both! That's kind of what I was thinking.

Also, there is a big difference crowd wise between the first and second week of June. There is a definite point where you will wonder “where did all these people come from?”

Last year it was June 9. We were very glad that it was our departure date and not our arrival.

First week of June should be less crowded then your other 2 options. Easter tends to be a very busy time and catching any part of Spring Break is busy.
In June, its just starting to get really warm. So its a crowd vs temperature issue. Of course later in the summer its even hotter.

We can definitely stick the the first week of June! We can even start it the last weekend in May which would be the weekend after Memorial Day next year. Hooray!

Also, just realized out spring break next year is the week before Easter, so think we will definitely stick with end of May- 1st week of June!

You also might check to see if there are any big promos ending the first week of June. We went last year the first week of June and it was manageable. We had friends go the next week and it was not crowded at all. I would say either week in june is better than april.

I can't compare to April, but we were there June 10-20 last summer and we found crowds to be totally manageable. The humidity on the other hand...

lol We last went 2nd week of September and it was hot, but we just brought fan sprayers and cooling clothes and drank lots of water and we did fine. I'm hoping it won't be too much worse than that, but more worried about crowds than anything. We were so spoiled with such low crowds on our last visit!
