How crazy are we???

So, we are arriving at the shades of green on sat. april 23- and leaving thursday april 28. YUP, we are going at Easter.

In our first plannings, we were going for my Son's 2nd birthday since my sister's spring break (she is a teacher) fell around the same time. THEN, on a 2nd note realized his birthday is the same day as Easter this year

oops. So, we are going to just embrace it.

We have in the past gone to disney in the "best" months regarding weather or crowds. examples: sept (week after labor day) for the crowds (not weather), december around 14-19th (crowds and weather). we have gone in february, april and may.

I knew it was going to be busy, but i seriously didn't think that easter was Peak season, lol.

what do i need to keep in mind? any special advice regarding how to "embrace" the time we chose. I know my husband is one to get a little done when it comes to being really Hot or the feeling like he is trapped.

anyone embracing this time as well? what special measures are you taking? or just keeping in the back of your mind so you don't let it ruin your time?

Thanks so much.

We also always go during down time- sept. usually, although since free dining, I don't think it is very "down" anymore. We used to live down there, and had passes so we learned some tricks. We went Christmas week last year, and it was quite a shock to us. It was VERY crowded- more than I ever expected. Advice I can give is get to the parks early and grab fastpasses while waiting in another line. Also, dining reservations are a good way to escape the crowds. Counter service locations will have horrible lines, and no tables. Even better if you can plan to eat at your resort. Avoid the parks that offer extra magic hours that day, most people pick the parks they go to by which one has extra hours that day- so they are busier all day usually. We are going the first week of April, so busier than we are used to also. It is the only time we can go this year-
