How crowded the first week of March 2005?

[HookedOnDiz]

I know it falls under peak season, but does anyone have an idea of what the crowds will be like the first week of March?

Its still a few weeks before Easter and most of the spring breaks... just wondering if its still going to be *packed*.
Thanks

I was wondering the same thing. My DBF wants to switch our trip from the first week in FEB. (which I love that time of year. re: low crowds, value season etc.) to the first week in March. Ugh

I have the 2005 edition of the Unofficial Guide to WDW. A new feature this year is a rating of each day from 9/04 to 9/05 and a "crowd rating" on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the least crowded. We might go from Feb 26 to March 5 and the ratings for those days are all 4. We can't decide btw that week (and pulling ds out of school) and Easter Week....more crowds but longer hours.

We are looking at the same exact dates. We'v enever gone to WDW that time of year - does anyone else some input on those dates?

we have been at that time the last 2 years and it was very very empty.

you have a window between presidents day week and march 15th when most spring breaks start.

so say Feb 24th - Mar 10th is one of the best times ever to go.

great weather
great crowds

This has been 'Our Week' for the last 4 or 5 years and would be in 2005 if our inconsiderate daughter and SIL didn't decide to crank out another grandchild in March. We've always found crowds to be moderate at worst and this year we hardly needed to use FP although we did take advantage of EE. I suppose if you're used to early Jan. conditions you might not use the term moderate, but on EE days we rarely had a wait of more than 10 mins. until after noon, and we hop to Epcot when crowds do build.
