Is Mother’s Day generally busy in the parks?

I've never been on Mother’s Day but I’m thinking of going this year. Is it usually slammed or OK?

I've been 3x, never found it to be unusually busy except when it used to coincide with the Tinkerbell 1/2.

It's ALWAYS busy anymore. I've been there for Mothers Day and it is crowded, but nothing outrageous like Easter week, or Christmas week. They give out flowers at the entrance, too. It's sweet.

I agree on that, but wondering if it’s so packed it’s not worth going. I actually have no problem with crowds in general as my littles are happy to do non-ride fun.

We went last year and had lunch at CCR, so we only went into DCA, but it wasn’t terribly busy. I have pictures from the balcony there without many people in them even though it was mid-afternoon, and I can tell from my photo timestamps that we weren’t waiting too long for the rides we went on (Monster’s, GOTG, Ariel, Heimlich, RIP...)

This year could be a lot busier since I think there’s a “visit before SWGE” push happening, but that’s how it was last year, anyway.

ETA: We didn’t arrive until about 10:30, and only stayed until 2:30. Did at least those rides, Animation Academy, and had lunch at CCR... so that’s not a crowded day.
