Just a heads up, unless there is a problem with disneys website, the only available hotel for april 22nd-30th was Old Key West.. I am going during that time(was slow last year) and was just curious to see what rooms would still be available,everything else now comes up booked(for those times). :earseek:
 
I called last week to switch to a moderate from Pop. We got POR, but CS & CBR were also available.

Let's hope it's not that busy!!
 
I can't speak for the rest of the country, but the Northeast is definitely off from school that week for Spring/Passover break.
That's the week I am going, and a few people I know are going then too.
It worked out well, because schools are closed, but it is not a Peak week, so prices are affordable (and points for us DVC members)
 

At one point yesterday I was getting no availability at any hotel there in October, I think the system was messed up.

Have a great vacation :)

:wave2:

My son and I are heading to the airport as soon as he gets out of school on April 22. :moped:
 
Count us in as another ny metro family going for spring break that week, most of all the southwest flights were sold out for that time frame and we switched from the swan to the poly. I saw that the one night we gave up at the swan was sold out, guess someone snapped up our room fast. I am counting on above average crowds and have planned accordingly with plans and ps too. We survived easter last year so this should be a breeze. I did hsve a problem getting one ps I wanted a crystal palace, they said it was booked and I had to take a later time at chef mickey from what I wanted.
 
I called yesterday to see about adding a night at a hotel for Thursday April 28, (already have the 29 and 30th reserved) and there was availability at every hotel that I inquired about. They had the moderates, deluxes and home away from homes all with either the Fl resident discount or AP discount. They also had every category of room for me to chose from. There is also a lot of availaiblity at the Swan and Dophin so it can't be that bad. I've been able to secure PS for all the restaurants that I wanted and I just started including Saturday night at the California Grill.
 
My kids are off for Spring Break the last week in April this year. A lot of schools in Jersey are also.

actually parts of NY and NJ, all other states as far as I have seen, are off earlier. my nephew has his spring break, and then the next week, his parents are taking him out of school to go because its cheaper(thats the same week I am going).

I tried adding on for my trip April17-19 and there is nothing available for APs or FL rates except ASMu. We did take it. But CM told me to keep trying. Its funny this is not peak season but when we went last month (considered peak season) I had no trouble getting WL (FL resident rate) the day before we left. Maybe they are holding rooms thinking more people are coming.

Question for New Englanders- Is this usually when your kids have spring break? I live in South FL and our kids spring break is usually the week before or the week after Easter. Just curious. Wondering if this will make peak season longer next year.
 
DisneyWisher, I'm in NH and the last full week of April is almost always when we have our break. I know that other states around here usually have it either that week or the one before. I think most of CT is off that week this year as well.
 
16th to the 23rd.........taht is Maines spring break........I am anxious as usual
 
NH school vacation: 4/25 through 4/29....I know lots of people who are going that week (but not us :sad: )
 
It turns out that there is an in-line skating marathon for the weekend of April 29th!
 
We are heading down that week too!! Didn't know about the east coast Spring break until after I booked.

Park hours were extended for that week, so it does seem like they are expecting a lot of people.

I called yesterday, to check availibility for 4/22-4/30, for my mother. There was availability at Pop, and all the moderates. I think the website has a lot of issues.

We have never been to Disney w/ kids during a busy time. Hoping not too bad, since my 6 y.o. is very impatient when it comes to lines. DH and I have been at Christmas, and vowed never again. This trip we are hoping for the best, but expecting worse. We're in Disney!!! That's the cool part.

Have a great trip everybody!!
