How are the crowds the 3rd and 4th week of April

We have gone to WDW the last two times the first week of March. Were thinking of going towards the last week of April.

What does everyone think about the crowds and how is the weather?

We were there in mid-April this year and the weather was great. Not too hot, but warm enough to swim. As for crowds, it really depends on when Easter is. The weekend of Easter and the week after things get very crowded, with a noticable drop-off the weekend after easter. So late April in '07 should be okay, especially if you get to the parks early and hit the major rides when you get there.

Get thee over to Tour Guide Mike, listen to what he has to say, and you'll have more time than you know what to do with. Even during the most crowded days.

The 3rd week in April is school vacation week for a lot of schools in New England. We're going from April 14-21 next year. I really have no idea how the crowds will be. The big Easter crowds will be winding down, but there will be a lot of New Englanders there due to school breaks . I know it will be crowded, but I'm hoping that it will be manageable.

we were there the end of April in 2004 and it was fine. I didnt wait on long lines and The crowds were minimal. The weather was getting hot and it also depends which specials Disney will be having then!

Yes,

Keep in mind that there are Grad Nights and other events that may effect the park crowds. I sure found that when we went last week of April.

It just depends when Easter is and such.

If Easter is early, it shouldn't be too bad - but I'll never go again at that time. We went April 26 thru 30 this year (Wednesday to Sunday). It was my mistake planning such a short trip to start with, but... Wednesday and Thrusday were fine. Busy, but not horribly so.

We went knowing about Grad Nights - but that wasn't the problem on Friday and Saturday. It was other school groups. Apparently, going to Epcot or MK is a big end-of-year field trip for a lot of local schools. The place was over run with groups of all ages - not the grads. Friday and Saturday were as miserable as mid-June.

Just my 2 cents.
