How does an early Easter (4-4-21) effect crowds 3rd week of Apri?

[Kcags]

Had to reschedule our May trip this year and we can’t go until spring of next year. The 3rd week of April would work best for the majority of us, but we could make the last week in April work too. Since Easter is early in the month, will the third week still have some of the Easter/spring break crowds? If so I will try to convince the group the 4th week Is better. Thank you!

Crowds from 3rd week of April is primarily from New England spring break, and ?UK break. When falls seperate from Easter is pretty consistently a 6/10 crowds week.

With an early Easter, Spring Break here in NY will be the third week of April. I imagine the same for other areas as well. I think you'd be safer with the fourth week in terms of crowd levels.

As others have pointed out, the date of Easter indirectly impacts later crowd levels, by moving Spring Break for certain states. Many states Spring Break is done by April 1, but some haven't happened yet. I suspect the April spring break crowd is still less than seen in typical March crowds.

We went in late April a few years ago when Easter was really early and honestly the crowds were lovely.
Two things to consider though, Disney Parks seem to get more and more popular year over year, and 2021 being the 50th.

I think the safe bet is to assume that no matter what time of they year you go in 2021, the parks will be crowded.

I would strongly assume that crowds will be less busy the last week of April than the 3rd. That has typically been the case unless Easter is very late.

It will, however, be 1 week warmer.

If you can hold off, school districts will publish their 2020-2021 calendars over the next couple months and usually in early Summer, Touring Plans updates their crowd calendar to reflect the next year's actual spring breaks across the country.
