Help With Dates in April

[lindyv321]

I am thinking of booking a trip in April with park days Monday 04/20 and Tuesday 04/21. I checked my go to crowd calendar Touringplans and they show both days 10/10 crowd wise. It's strange cause in 2019 those dates were right after Easter and their predictions were lower and actual crowds were even lower than predicted. I checked some other calendars and they all say average crowds. I was thinking those dates would be after Easter, after most spring breaks, and after Dapper Days. Does anyone know of anything that would be making the crowds peak then? I know that none of these calendars is accurate, especially after how weird crowds were in 2019 but I like to check. Touringplans hasn't let me down yet but I do not want to go on a 10/10 day!

April 20th and 21st was Easter weekend last year. Touringplans doesn't take into account that Easter changes every year. They just roll data from the previous year into the calendar. I cannot imagine that the 20th and 21st this year would be 10/10 days.

Touringplans doesn't take into account that Easter changes every year. They just roll data from the previous year into the calendar.

they specifically talk about accounting for Easter moving in their most recent WDW crowd calendar blog post.

That said they have all of spring much higher than last year which I do not understand at all.

Thanks for the info! I do feel like they have way over estimated spring crowds too!

Mondays are notoriously busy. I remember being shocked how busy it was when I went the first week of May in 2018. I was there Saturday thru Wed and Monday was crazy! I think that they are expecting crowds to be busier in spring as people head to the parks to ride Rise of the Resistance.

I would be prepared for crazy crowds and you'll be fine.
