How crowded at the end of March?

Taking a family trip the last full week of March (21-28) and am wondering how crowded it will be. We tried a March trip a few years ago, but at the beginning of the month to get out of the cold weather here in Jersey and it was pretty bad- an hour and a half wait for the Dumbo ride (yes - pity us poor parents with young kids). This time we tried to time it between college spring break and the regular spring break in April, but still a little concerned. Been to DW 7 times so you'd think I'd have figured this out by now, but no. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That is the beginning of Flower & Garden at EPCOT. The crowds might be a little heavier. We usually like to travel the end of March/early April since the weather tends to be a little nicer. You will be a few weeks before Easter, but still in the Spring Break crowd.

get there early and I mean early - especially to do Dumbo!

that say there will be highschools that will have that week off.

That may be Spring Break for some colleges, too.

It will be very crowded but it is matter of comparison. You say you have been 7 times but not what time of year except once early March. It will be significantly more crowded than then. If you have been parts of January after the first week or Sep after Labor Day, it will feel overwhelming in comparison to those. Gone during Oct or Nov but not holidays in that period, it will feel quite a bit more crowded than that. If you have gone during summer months, it will be lighter than that. If you have gone one of the two Easter weeks or Christmas week, you will think it is the slowest of off-seasons.

March translates to me: Spring Break! We will never travel to WDW at that time of year again. Resort was busy, parks were busy. There were alot of rude people pushing and shoving their way onto rides and literally grabbing things out of our hands in the shops. If memory serves, we were there March 19 - 23.
