March- April???

[k5thbeatle]

Historically speaking; If one had to pick a week stay during this time frame (March-April) when would be the potentially least crowded time? I've heard the week up to Easter is typically crowded, so that's out and Spring Break although somewhat varying seems to be the 2nd week of March through the 1st week of April (so I am told???).

I'd probably shoot for a couple weeks after Easter. Seems like March has a lot of variables that could affect crowds, but typically there's a lull after. Though there is a Marathon weekend in April, so be sure to avoid that weekend.

If I had too, which I wouldn't want to, I'd pick the first week in March or the last week of April to avoid crowds. It will still be busy but not as bad as the peak weeks. I think next week is a jammed with no park passes available and then the 29th-9th of April looks like it will also be heavy.

Most of March and early April is Spring Break. And then Easter is in there somewhere.
I would pick later April.
Agree with avoiding a marathon weekend. Although we have been there during the Star Wars marathon and it didn't really seem to change the crowds much. Just an annoyance of parts of parks closed off for them running through.

There is no race weekend this year and future plans for RunDisney weekends have not yet been announced.

Last week of April. We were there that week in 2019 and it was perfect for both weather and crowds!

you're right, I forgot that I had read that it was cancelled.

Depends when Easter falls that year. I would avoid the last 3 weeks of March and the 2 weeks on either side of Easter (week before and week after).

I was going on the assumption they were referring to next year, since we're already midway through March

I’ve had luck with moderate crowds in late April. Of course that is contingent on Easter falling early in the month. All of March is swamped.

Yes sorry, I was talking about 2022 since we're already a couple weeks through March. Thanks for clarifying!

Easter will be late next year, April 17. If they schedule a Star Wars marathon next April, and its the week before or week after Easter, we could be looking at a busy April as well. Depending on which weekend the marathon falls, I'd probably look at first or last week of April, but even the first week of April could see continued spring break crowds.
