How busy is DL the last week of April?

[frankiegirl]

We will be at DL for a Cheer competition April 20-22. I want to stay for a week after the competition. I would think since spring break is done that the crowds would be low. What have been your experiences that last week of April? Thank you!!

Thank you! Would you be willing to look up the week of Dec 9th 2010 and tell me what the crowds were like? That is when we were at DL last and it could give me a comparison. I am not a subscriber and can't see for myself. Thank you so very much!!

You really can't judge your trip this year on last april because Easter was April 24th which would make the crowds larger. Next year Easter will be
April 8th so the crowds will be smaller then last year the end of April. Hope this helps.

This deserves repeating.

The actual touringplans crowd calander shows crowds ranging between 4/10 and 6/10 for the week from April 23-29. Definately slower than the crowds earlier in the month around Easter. Of course, a week later at the beginning of May, the crowd are around a 1/10 or a 2/10.

I've been to DLR the end of April/beginning of May before, and I found the crowds to be rather light. Of course, they were during the 1/10 or 2/10 days.

Still that weekend should have fairly light crowds. Probably fairly similar to the crowds in early December (if not a little lighter).

Yep - it depends on when Easter is, DS celebrated his 8th B-day in Disneyland - 4/20/08, Easter was in March that year, Spring Break crowds were long gone.
