How bad do you think it will be ??

[bridgettesmom]

My SIL wants to take her 3 yr old for the first time during that time and has asked me to go with them. March 21-25 ..that's the Monday-Friday before Easter Sunday. Do you think it will be bad as far as crowds go? I think that a lot of schools are on spring break during that week. Are we absolutely nuts for going during that time?? I usually try to visit during the low season, but, we did visit last October during Columbus day week and even though the parks were busy, it did not feel that crowded at all.

Help !!

It will definitely be busier than you are used to, but not horrible. Just plan your day accordingly.

We're going the weekend before, the 19th-22nd. The main thing is to know that it will be busy, and then you can still have fun. If you go expecting it to be easy to get to everything in the park, you will not have a great trip. Decide what you want to do the most, use fastpasses, and just enjoy being at WDW! Even when it's busy, it's better than sitting at home! Be prepared for crowds and you'll be fine. Columbus Day in Oct. is nothing like Spring Break/Easter. From what I hear, Easter is more like Christmas which is VERY busy! These are busiest times of year in WDW. However, still lots of fun! We've been at Christmas twice as well as Columbus Day in Oct., and all you have to do is be prepared for it to be much more crowded.

It will be very, very busy that week. One of the busiest weeks of the year....

Take advantage of fast pass as much as you can and EMH, especially for MK.

Sure you can still have fun, but the main thing is to know what you're in for.....

Hit MK early in the week if you can because the crowds will build as the week goes on. Save Epcot for near the end of the week as it handles large crowds the best. Good luck!!

I appreciate all the great advise you have been giving me. I remembered last night, that we visited last year for 1 day on March 18th while visiting relatives in Tampa. It was very busy !! We did manage using Fast Pass, the only line we stood on was for Dumbo. We had a great time, after all, we were at Disney!! I am trying to convince her that we should go before that week. Wish me luck !!


Thanks!!
