How bad is March Break

[Hockeychic]

Not sure if there is a spring break in the States as well but just curious how busy Disney is during the Ontario March break.

Thanks

It depends on whether or not there is a state that has a break at the same time.

We were at US/IOA for the latter part of March Break and really appeciated FOTL!

We were there for the first part of March break in 2005 and it was busier than our trip in November of 2003 but it wasn't that bad at all. There were cheerleaders there but we really didn't notice them that much at the parks. We used our Fastpasses and everything went smoothly. The longest we waited in a line (Fastpass access) was 15 minutes for Space Mountain.

We went last March Break and we will be there this March Break....it wasn't too busy and the hours are longer! S

We went during Toronto's March break last year and it was busier than other times but the park is running at full capacity with extra hours so it was OK.

Different provinces and states have different breaks so it pretty much runs this way from March 1st to after Easter.

We were at AK on a Wednesday last March break. We got there before opening (after paying the extra $10 cab charge that Disney now charges to be dropped off). We rode Everest twice, Kali and Dinosaur once and then the lines were all over 1 1/2 hours and fast passes weren't good until late in the afternoon. We left and went back to Universal and our FOTL.

I was there last year 1 week after the Toronto March break. It wasn't too bad - much better than the summer of course. We are going again this year so I am hoping it won't be too bad.

We were there from Mar 16-24, 2006. I think the crowds are managable in the resorts, except the pools are always packed (at POFQ).

EPCOT & MGM are OK. Not very long wait (except the Talking Sea Turtle in Ecpot for 60 mins).

MK is quite crowded - pls note that we were travelling with DD2 - most of her favourites rides takes at least 45 minutes in queue (no Fast pass - Dumbo, It's a small world, Magic Carpet...) The worst would be meeting Ariel for a picture - we waited in queue for almost 2 hours!!!! She fell asleep and then woke up but not yet her turn.

To be fair, those requires a FP (e.g. Buzz Lightyear)...there are quite managable.

Next year we are going in early Jan and hope that it can be smooth.
