March/April crowds

[mjatgoofy]

I have read several threads on here the past few days regarding the current crowds. We are headed to disney the week of 3/29. Fortunately we have 2 easy going boys(2 and 4 years old). The biggest concern is probably me wanting to do too much. Should I be worried about the crowds?

You are going during the Spring Break period, so there will be crowds...

As long as you are flexible and easy-going, you'll still have a great time! Take advantage of FastPass when you can. I found that the most crowded times are midday (like 11 - 2), so planning a break back at the resort at lunchtime might lessen the impact of the crowds, too.

Just returned today. If someone tells me the economy isn't good right now, I'd tell them to look at WDW latest numbers and compare them to two years ago!

The parks were crowded, but not like a mid summer or holiday. Yes, there are Spring Breakers, but it could be worse. At one point Space, Big Thunder, and Splash were both in excess of 1 1/2 hours, but that was one day. Beyond that 45 minutes was the longest I saw and the majority of the waits were at around 30-35 minutes.

One strategy for space that we found. Right after the fireworks, don't run for Space, go to the Carousel of Progress. After that the line will have dimished. We walked right on! We always do the C of P in memory of my dad who loved it! My kids love it too!
