March 7-11...how busy??

[beansmom]

I'm wanting to plan for the potential crowds...what do y'all think?

A bit early for spring break here but what about everywhere else?
7 days til the House of Mouse!

Well....that's the time frame we went last year. I hate to say it, but...it was in the parks! We asked a CM how many people they allow into the parks. He said that usually they let 200,000 into any one park. We told him that all of that and more were there on those days that we went! If you plan for it to be busy and expect the worse, you may be surprised. Either we're suckers for punishment or just plain . We've planned our trip for right around the same time this year! Go...have fun and remember to make each memory a Disney memory!

thanks for the info...hoping for better...lol. We're two big kids so we'll be skipping lots of stuff. Hopefully we'll be able to get our 'musts' in.

We've been there the past 2 years around that time.

I believe the unnofficial guide gives the crowd levels between 5 - 7 the whole week. It's not too bad. Just use the fastpass and you'll get on everything you wanted. We probably waited 45 minutes max which isn't too bad plus we had fastpasses and used them to the fulles so getting 2 major attractions in about 45 minutes was good for us.

Being that easter falls very early this year, I think a lot of schools have adjusted their spring breaks to fall in late march or early april. This may be a very good thing. Maybe parks will be less crowded. We are going to be there March 4 - March 11. HOpe to see you there

We will be there this same week (arriving Sunday the 6th and leaving Friday the 11th) and we are really hoping for not-too-heavy crowds! Since Easter is so early this year, maybe that will be the case. The last time we were there was Thanksgiving 2002, and it was pretty crowded then, so I reckon we can handle it!

We will be arriving Mar 6 and leaving Mar 12.
i tried to plan the trip so it wasn't during March break (in Canada) and spring break. This is our first time going so we dont really have any idea what to expect.
But no matter what, I'm sure it will be magical!!

What are the crowds like during this time (March 5-10) compared to the end of June/summer crowds?
