March or April?

[Thiago Acquaviva]

Hello guys!

I fulfilled my dream and went to WDW 2 times in my life (September 2014 and November 2015)
I was planning to visit on my 30th Bday (March 27 next year), but I got lost on this Spring Break/Easter thing. We don't have this Spring Break thing here in Brazil, so I'm kinda confused... can anybody help please?

I read that Spring Break 2017 is splitted in 3 weeks right?
Starting from March 11.
And Easter is April 16.

So which month is the best?
We don't complain about crowds that much, like 20-40min wait time is okay for most of the rides, that place is so perfect and magical that we don't care that much of waiting on lines. But I heard some people/websites saying March is insane like 1-2h waiting, then I get confused.

I would like to go to Orlando like March 13 to March 31 (I like to split the trip 10 days on disney property doing disney things and then 10 days off doing the rest of Orlando) to be able to spent my Bday there. but if is indeed too crowded, than I can change for april/may idk...

What do u guys think?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english!

The main thing is avoiding the week before and after Easter at all costs. (And because Easter moves around, people get vastly different experiences)

If you avoid those 2 weeks, it will be decent.

There is really almost no "slow" time at Disney, it's mostly busy and busier.

Personally, I would choose late April /Early May (as long as it avoids Easter weeks) as I like more guaranteed swimming weather (75+ degrees). But I wouldn't be against your March 11+ week, either.

March 11 will be one of the busiest spring break weeks, but not as bad as the weeks before and after Easter. Crowd levels are predicted to be 9's. The weather is usually quite nice, though, which helps make the crowds more bearable than in the summer. With rope drops and a good touring plan, it's manageable.

Late April/early May will definitely be less crowded. If you do decide to go in March, the week of the 18h should have slightly lower crowds than the week of the 11th, so you might want to wait to do Disney till then. But, I'd pick going later, if I were you.

Hey guys, big thanks for the replies!
Sad to hear about that crowd level 9 It would be awesome to spend my 30th bday at my fav place. but that's ok.
I'm considering late April then, like April 24 til May 15. something like that.
Could it be as nice as september or november in terms of crowds?

We are going April 22nd through April 28th. My TA said we probably will be ok because its after spring break/Easter.
