How crowded will it be the week of March 10?

We are considering making a last minute trip the week of March 10. Does anyone have any idea how crowded it will be that week? Thanks!!

Hi PP, thanks for the link to the crowd calendar.

OP, that week in March we will be on Spring Break and will also be in the parks during that time. I believe March and April (up to Easter) are usually a staggering of various Spring Breaks. Have a wonderful time on your trip!!

As someone who's researched this time period and is about to head out on a quick trip end of February / early March: my understanding is that the parks are going to be very crowded for the whole month of March, other than the very first week of the month (1st-7th) where crowd levels will be moderate. Various spring breaks are scheduled during this time. If you're looking to avoid crowds, March 10th would not be the time to go. You also need to keep in mind that the general trend this year has been to see higher-than-anticipated crowds. Whether that's because of weather or FP+ or the economy or random chance is a topic for a different discussion. But my point is that, even in a "good" year ("good" in the sense of crowd estimates are proving to be overly aggressive), March is an extremely busy time of year to go. And we are in the opposite of a "good" year (same sense), we're in a "bad" year insofar as a lot of people are being drawn to the parks beyond normal expectations.

As noted above and on the easywdw.com crowd calendar the crowds are predicted to be 9 out of 10, so very, very crowded. We went the same week last year and it was indeed very crowded. We found it to be similar to a busy summer day but with much better weather. This year we are going a week later and it'll still be busy.

This may sound insane....

But I am actually looking forward to the high crowds- to a point. I promised myself that this trip would be "laid back". I am looking forward to just people watching- and hopefully not waiting on too many ridiculous lines.
