How were the crowds this week March 8th-14th ??

Knowing that it is the week before a lot of schools spring breaks I was wondering what the crowd level was like in both parks...

I've not been in the parks but drive by the garages in the morning to get onto I-4 for work every day. The traffic going into the parking garages has picked up substantially this week. To the point they had cops out assisting with the traffic flow today. Yesterday it was backed up onto I-4 around 8:30-9AM without the cops. The main function of the cops was to even out people using one garage entrance (there are two) over the other.

i read a post last night where a group of 3 stayed onsite.
they said the weekend had crowds but managable.
on the monday, parks were packed when they were there.
don't know if they meant both parks or only the one there were in when posting from there.

Next week is spring break for a lot of people!! I'm wondering if people are vacationing the week before the actual holiday week.

I was just there yesterday and Monday. I arrived Monday at 11 ish and it was busy but not insane. Mummy had a 30 minute wait, minions were at 60, gringotts was at 60 and transformers was 50. I did ride using single rider lines. Then I did some browsing and relaxing. Tuesday I got up and went at opening. I got to the turnstile for universal studios at 8:40 and people were already in. I was able to ride with no waits everywhere except potter until 10. Then I shopped and enjoyed potter until 6 ish. It was packed heading out. The crowds were crazy by then.

I would say get there early for the big rides.

We are here now. Today was our first day. It is definitely crowded. Forbidden journey is an hour wait. Gringotts was an hour when we left around 3pm. Despicable me was 75 min and transformers 90.
