How bad is spring break crowds really?

[pktbMouse]

Heading down Sunday the 8th March..2 days time and was wondering how bad the crowds really are? will we be able to ride anything at all or will the lines be crazy? Thanks in advance

You will be able to ride anything you want, but lines will be moderate to long. Use FPs to mitigate the longer lines.

We went during Spring Break a couple of years ago and it was actually not bad - I was expecting horrible crowds/lines etc but we went with extended family and they picked the dates. The weather was nice and cool, there were lines but nothing unmanageable. Just get there early, take a break midday and go back in the evening. We would go back to the resort for 2-3 hours or to lunch at a resort restaurant and then go back to the parks.

OP, we are down there the week after you with similar circumstances. "Almost" extended family (son's GF's family) asked us to go down that week since there will be there. We had originally planned to be there last week, but thought we would join them. They are off-site and we are on.

Our crowd numbers look about 1 digit higher than yours but we are planning a return trip in November with low crowds so if we can't do everything that we want to do this trip, maybe next time.......

We were there during Spring Break last year, March 29-April 3, and we found it to be very reasonable. Not insanely crowded but not low crowds. We used FP+ but really felt we could've rode most things without them, exceptions being TSMM and the like. We rode everything we wanted and more.

Last two years we've done spring break 8 and 9 days. It's been all about getting there well before RD and using EMHs. Crowded? Yes! Manageable? Yes. We focused heavy on rides until around 11 or 11:30, then did a nice character meal and lower crowd rides.

Spring Breaks are spread out over about a month between college and K-12, so it's not like winter break where most people all have the same days off.
