has any one been to disney at easter?

[elismom]

The march break and easter are together this year so I was thinking of maybe going down again at this time?
What are the crowds and weather like and has any one ever gotten a AP room rate or anything else?
What special things are going on in the park at this time?

We were there Easter 2003. Weather was beautiful, crowds were doable, and we stayed at CBR with a Canadian discount. They had an egg hunt at all the resorts but other than that not much extra happens for easter.

Expect it to be very very crowded! We've been three years in a row and each year it gets busier and busier.

Easter is one of the busy times beside Christmas.

It's fun but you have to have everything arranged before hand, like PS's.

Each time we have gone down they were having some kind of special but it's hard to say what will happen for next year. It seems that as the crowds grow there are less and less deals.

I also believe that next year the US has their Spring Break which will also add to the crowds.

If you plan then you will enjoy! We always do.

As for anything special, no not really.

Weather wise, still better than here!LOL

Have fun!

WE have always gone at Easter, to get a couple of extra days(Good Friday and Easter Monday). It has always been busy, but fun. This year we came home on Easter Sunday. We have never had a problem with getting good rooms at a reasonable price. This year all of our rooms were booked through Priceline and all in advance. Spring break sees to spread out quite a bit. I am not sure when it starts or finishes. Also, the kids in the UK get a two week Easter break and I think they must all go to Orlando. The MK has been extrmely busy o this day.

We were there Easter 2004 too. April 9 was good Fri stayed until 18th (got the late flight home)-so 10 full days-it was busier than I expected-weather was great!

We got the Cdn at Par deal and saved a bundle-ended up staying YC WV-concierge.

Did Fanstasmic pkg so wouldn't have to wait in line-made PS's at the more popular restaurants and for all character breakfasts-spent Easter Sunday at Epcot-not crowded at all-I think I would avoid MK on Easter Sunday though. Spent a day at Universal and IOA and another (not a weekend day) at TL (got burnt).

But yes, watch the U.S. Spring break dates-seems to me alot are having them either the week before of the week after Easter.

We were in WDW this March break. We took advantage of the at Par deal and booked 5 days @ PC. It was our first time at the park and it was very crowded, it seems most of the people were Canadians. A few CMs asked me where I was from, and when I said Canada, they said "Oh, another Canadian, the park seems to be over run by them this week!". We enjoyed the park, the weather was nice (compare to the snow in Toronto). The lines were long at times, the wait for Test Track was 180 minutes and they ran out of fast pass at 10 in the mroning.
