Easter 2017 crowds

[drinkme]

I was looking at booking a trip during our Spring Break week which is the last week of March. But the airfare was high and Touring Plans gave that week 8-9's.

My kids also have a 4 day weekend during Easter this year. Airfare was much cheaper (like by $100's), I could still use the resort code for that time, and Touring Plans is showing 6-7's for that time.

Now I'm reading everywhere that Easter week is one of the most crowded times of the year, along with Christmas. I am wondering why TP is only showing 6&7's??? Am I looking at it wrong? I was able to book all our FastPasses. I couldn't get BOG dining at all, but I could never get that dining even in slow times.

So what do you think? We can do crowded, but I don't want to do insane crowds. Is this year predicted slower during Easter than past years? Is TP just wrong now and they will change their prediction to all 10's?

Easter falls late this year and alot of the larger school districts don't have off the week after Easter. There are some that think the Easter crowds will be less than the insanity that they usually are. I still think it's going to be insane. The week after Easter is the Star Wars half marathon and alot of kids still have off.

I think it's partially because Easter falls late, and because of when the first two and last two days of Passover fall. Easter is 4/16, Passover Seder is 4/10-11, and the last two days of Passover are 4/17-18. NYC schools are off 4/10-19. (Send help!)

It will be insane and crowded.
