How busy where parks during 7 for 4 this past March?

Hi all:

My brother and sister are considering going to WDW this coming March using the 7 for 4 promotion. They were wondering how busy the parks were in Early March of 2009 during the similiar promotion.

Thanks,

Mark

We were there March 14-21 and it was VERY crowded. We kept wondering, "What recession?"
But, we've never gone at this time before, so we weren't sure what to expect. I'm sure the 7 for 4 had something to do with the crowds.

I was there March 11-18 and it was crowded, but the crowds caught disney by surprise. They even extended park hours at MK on the spot many nights and cited "unanticipated crowd levels." Hopefully this year they'll be better prepared.

Anyone else have any thoughts or experience with this time this year?

They were hoping that late February or early March would not be as bad as balamce of March... as you got closer to Spring breaks and Easter.

Thanks,

Mark
