Early March crowds????

[momdecker]

I am planning a trip March 2- March 6. Should crowds be small, or are the spring breakers already arriving?

I've been in March the last 2 years and going again Mar 4-11 and crowds are very tolerable. I think the logest we waited was like 10 minutes on rides like Dumbo and the Safari ride at AK. Other than that, most rides were basically a walk on. PLUS the weather is perfect. I don't even recall breaking a sweat and was in shorts the whole time.

Great! We're going Feb.25-March 5th and I wondered about the crowds and the weather. Last time we were there was March17-24th in 2000 and I'd say it was moderately busy. There were definitely long lines for some rides but it didn't hold us up much-we just got fast-passes!
I can't wait!

The unoffical guide says (on a scale of 1 to 10):

Wed 2nd-4 (moderately busy)-evening EMH-MK
Thur 3-4-evening EMH-Epcot
Fri 4th-4-morning EMH-MK
Sat 5-5 (busy)-morning EMH-AK
Sun 6-6 (moderately crowded)-evening EMH-MGM

Keep an eye on Extra Magic Hours to help gauge levels at individual parks.

As you may have guessed, we are going the same days.

Have fun.

I'll be there 3/5-3/12... I can't wait!!! Hoping the weather will be tolerable, last time I was there the first week in March there was a cold spell in Orlando up until the day we left!

Thanks for the info! We'll be there 2/25-3/5 and I wondered how the crowds might be.

I'll be arriving on the 8th thru the 15th and I am expecting the crowds to arrive the latter part of my trip. I think I'll do the more popular attractions the first few days and plan a few pool days for the end. But I would love any input as to if it will even be pool weather or if the crowds will be as bad as I think.

We'll be there the same time too! I was getting nervous about the crowds too since they consider this "peak season" at the resorts. Glad to hear it isn't so bad!
