Gail EEK!
I am planning as well for the end of March into April for my birthday, which is on the third of April.
I too, was figuring out if this time frame might be decent, crowd level wise, I am figuring it will be (hopefully) however of course, one can never know for sure, how any day will be positively until you or some one else is visiting Dl. that day.
Anyones thoughts I would appreciate, I had visited Dl. for my birthday, last year, the week of easter BIG MISTAKE! I had not thought it would be as crowded as it had been, for the year before that I had visited Dl. again, for my birthday, the same week, and it was fine. HOWEVER! it was not the week of Easter, HUGE DIFFERENCE! I still enjoyed my trip and visit, however between that Easter/Spring Break crowd, and the weather becoming rather hot at times, and not being a morning person! OMG!! never again, during the week Easter, and never again, going to Dl. in the early afternoon!! Last month when I was fortunate enough to visit DL. I made it a point to do so before the park opened, yay! I actually surprised myself he he! and was there before opening! the weather was awful my first day, for me it was anyway, for I cannot take too much sun, nor heat! my second day, the weather was so much nicer, to me, thank god! I had but those two days, however, it is better than only one day, which is better than none! is what I always say. the crowd level the first day, was very good, not too many people, the next day, by the evening came rolling around, it was if the flood gates were being opened, I figured many of the people that I saw were locals, coming to enjoy the park for the evening, and to watch the fire works later on. It still though was nothing like that wretched crowd last year! thank god!!
