How busy the week before Easter?

[zandjmom]

Unfortunately our Spring Break is the week before Easter this year combining two very busy times at DL.

Last year we went the week before Christmas leaving on the 20th and it was bearable for us using Ridemax and FPs.

Am I looking at about the same or heavier crowds? We would be there probably the Saturday through Wednesday before Easter so not there on the actually holiday.

Other option is to go in February but take my niece out of school (my vote and I'm a teacher!) but my Mom doesn't want to do that. I just don't want to fight unbearable crowds the whole time. No fun!!

Any opinions?

The week before Easter is generally one of the busiest of the year- more so than summer. Most of the Arizona schools are out that week this year. Plus you have cheerleader camps...If you have been before Christmas it would be about that bad.

I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but the week before Easter last year was very busy!!! It was wall to wall people. We had to utilize fast pass very skillfully to be able to ride what we wanted to ride. I understand that you will not be there at Easter, we were and it was CRAZY. My vote, go in February.

We've been going during that week for a few years now. It has always been wall-to-wall madness. That being said, we stay at one of the DLR properties and spend most of the afternoons at the pool.

February is a great time to go.
