Easter Week Crowds

[BridgetR3]

Just got a notification that we no longer need a park reservation for the Monday after Easter which is VERY odd to me as this week is typically a large crowd week with 9-10s on the crowd calendars. Are we thinking it will have much lower crowds this year since Easter is so late? Is it super busy in the parks this week? I don't want to get my hopes up but this sounds great!

Due to the late date of Easter MOST schools have the week before off and some have the day after off but most would be headed home that day.
I wouldn't say low crowds but I also wouldn't say it will be swamped this coming Monday.

Just noticed that the Wednesday is also a no reservation day. Looking like a great week!!

I use TP and crowds are currently anticipated to be 7 and 8/10 for most of the week. The week following (starting Sat, Apr 26th) seems to drop a bit so I would go in with guarded expectations of crowds next week (from today through Apr 25th)

We’ve been the week after Easter a few times & have found the crowds manageable. But we’re not open to close parks people & don’t do the major coasters. I love the resort Ester egg displays & regret planning our trip for May instead of Easter.

We are going to be there that week. I booked LLMP for top attractions in each park and there was plenty to choose from, so if that's any measure, it's not going to be super crazy.

I believe more hotels have availability also, compared to last year's Easter week. Right now Pop Century and 2 of the All Stars are still available. Pretty sure all of these were sold out last year.

Most New England states have the week after Easter off this year for their spring school vacation. Most NE schools usually have a week off in February and a week off in April for vacations. "Usually", they are the 3rd week in February (coincides with Presidents Day) and the 3rd week in April (coincides with Patriots Day in MA not Easter). My DD is long out of school, so I don't keep up with school vacations anymore, but this has been the norm for NE for a long time.

Well then I’m cautiously optimistic that it won’t be so bad when we are there next week!

I'll be there Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

I'm staying off site and my LL bookings opened up today and I was able to get some very early LLMPs. Especially for AK on Wednesday and MK on Friday.

I really wanted to do Flight of Passage and Guardians of the Galaxy so I splurged on those. I was able to ride on Tron when it still had its VQ.
