How busy has this March been?

[OnSpaceshipEarth]

I'm hearing many say that it seems less crowded this year while some others say it's about on par with previous years.

Anyone want to share their first-hand accounts?

Anyone?

We were there 3/9- 3/21. 3/9-3/11 wasn't bad at all- less crowded than expected.

Spring break crowds started arriving on 3/12. After that every park was a level 9-10 every single day. It was our first spring break trip so I can't compare.

We didn't let the crowds bother us- we hit the parks around 9am, went back to the resort around 1-2pm, then hit the parks at night. After 10pm, MK really died down.

We were there 3/14-20. I was going to say that I didn't think it was that bad. It was busy but not park capacity. I thought it felt about the same as the same time period last year. However, Touring Plans gave several of our days 10 for this year and 8 at a minimum. Their levels were 2-4 points higher this year than last. So, I guess it was more crowded. I guess we just don't mind crowds. Plus, following their plans, we rarely have problems.

We have gone mid-March for 7 of the 8 past years, and this year's crowds didn't seem different from previous years. Possibly a bit smaller, now that I think about it, but not noticeably so at the time.

Here now. Crowds seem higher than this time a few yrs ago. Was at Epcot on Wed and at noon the posted wait time for Test Track was 190mn... Everything else was reasonable for Spring Break time. Dreading the crowds at MK tomorrow!

TT and Epcot are getting hit hard due to Soarin' being down. It basically forces everyone onto TT and Mission Space.

Yeah it is rough! We had FP for TT..my 6 yo wanted to right it again so badly, but no one wanted to wait. We got lucky going right before closing and the wait was 30mn.

We did it at rope drop on an AM EMH day and then had an FP+. We still had to wait a bit at rope drop, since everyone ran over us to get there I still would have preferred to have done Soarin'.

Wed was EMH for MK, and it was mobbed over there that day, Christmas/NY week type crowds. Pinocchio's was just too crowded for dinner, you couldn't even walk between the registers or carry your food out to the tables without pushing through a crowd. 140 min for Space Mountain, 50 for HM, kinda crazy. I was there last Wed and then again on Easter, this was another notch worse than last week.

We are there week 3 of March next year I posed a similar query, and it looks like that week was the same as usual. Busy.
