Easter 2004

[mom of girls]

Anyone know when Easter 2004 is? You may laugh if you wish but I like to plan in advance. Thanks.

I think it is April 11, 2004. My DD's 14th birthday will fall on 4/15. Since we let her older sister invite 4 friends to go with us to WDW this past June to celebrate her 14th, we have no choice but do it again(and again and again for the 2 youngest!) I am not laughing about planning early...it is the key to a suucessful trip. Our worst trip ever was at Easter a few years ago(3 of the 4 kids got sick, as well as myself.) The parks are no more crowded than they have been during the last 3 Christmas/NYE trips, but it is HOT in April, and we tend to get punchy in hot weather. Obviously other guests were uncomfortable, too...we saw a lot of parents losing it at the happiest place on Earth. Happy planning!

Thanks for the info. My daughter's Spring Break is always the last 2 weeks of March. We are going the last week in March this year and hope to buy an AP to re-use the third week in March next year. I just wanted to be sure that 2004 doesn't have a March Easter because I can't handle the crowds that seem to develop as Easter approaches.

Lucky you,mom of girls, for having a spring break that does not coincide with Easter. Our county school system used to give us a few days in March(not a full week), and then a Good Friday/Monday long weekend for Easter, but not anymore. In an effort to more closely model our city school system's calendar, the county school system's Spring Break begins on Good Friday, and lasts for a week. I was not happy with this decision, and neither were some teachers. Poor souls are taking their FIRST trip to WDW this Easter break...I doubt they will ever return once they fight those crowds!
