Easter weekend at MK

[pinkxray]

We will be spending our spring break in Fl. We are only doing a tiny bit of Disney. We are only able to go to MK Easter Sunday or the Saturday before. Is there much of a difference crowds wise?
We will there before opening and usually leave around 2.

Easter is one of the busiest times of year. Busier than non-Easter Spring Break. Maybe not as busy as Thanksgiving and xmas-NYE.

Easter itself will be a bit milder than the day before, especially in the morning.

I would expect Easter Sunday to be extremely crowded at Magic Kingdom, maybe not quite as crowded as Christmas/New Years, however still I would expect it to be absolutely crowded.
Weather wise, End of March/Beginning of April can be variable in Temperatures. I would expect Morning Temperatures in the high 40s/low or maybe upper 50s, Afternoon Temperatures in the upper 60s/70s/low 80s. Scattered showers/thunderstorms are possible, but the showers and thunderstorms are more prominent from May-November.

Years ago we went on Easter Sunday to MK, not realizing what an absolute horror it would be. 2-hr waits were "short". Never again will we ever go to WDW over easter. Good luck if it's your only day.

We have only been to Disney world during Easter. I am a teacher, so that’s what I do. It’s very busy. Day before Easter, Easter, and after. It doesn‘t matter. You just need to get to MK as early as you can, do early hours at Dwarfs train, Peter Pan, and over to Space Mountain. Then head over to Frontierland while everyone else rolls in. It’s been the best. By 11am, it’s unbearable. I then stack my passes for the evening rides and get out of the park.

Thanks for the reports! We are doing a Disney lite this year so most of the week we are doing Discovery Cove, Seaworld and Aquatica. I can’t go to FL and not visit the MK so we are doing 1 day only. Our 3 options are the Sat. and Sunday of Easter weekend or the Thursday following Easter. The only issue is that we are doing the Hollywood Studios after hours Wed night so will be out late. It sounds like losing a little sleep might be worth just going on the Thursday.

I vaguely remember being at MK on Easter around 30 years ago and not being able to move after the parade passed through. Just wall to wall people. I would love to see Mr and Mrs Bunny and the parade but not sure those two things are worth the extra mobs of people
