next week 03/11-03/16 crowds?

[kati71]

Hi. I am considering taking the kids next week and we have never been. Will it be exceptionally crowded? If so, can you recommend another less crowded time. Thanks for any advice or tips you can give this newbie.

Next week is our March break here in Canada.It will be very crowded. I don't know when the crowds are going to quiet down, but I can tell you that we went last year, the first week in March and crowd control was great.

We will be there the week of the 19th and are hoping it is not too crowded. We have gone in March several times and it seems to be hit and miss. Sometimes it is very crowded and sometimes it is like a ghosttown. But who cares, we can enjoy the warmth and sun!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you planning on staying?

I am looking at staying onsite at Royal Pacific Resort with myself and my four girls as hubby has to stay home and work. We are wanting to take a road trip and enjoy our Spring Break.

My girls are 17,7,6, & 5 - I am wanting them to have some fun, but do not want to do any heavy planning. We typically get up and get there by opening time and then leave sometime in the afternoon. I am not one to fight crowds though, but I have heard the front of the pass does wonders.

Please help - are my girls too young? I am thinking they would love it as they have really started enjoying rides and such.

I have been looking online for tips and such like the WDW sites, but not finding much.

Staying at RPR the crowd, if any, should not bother you. The FOTL benefits from staying on-site is all you will need. Our schools have Spring Break the first week of April. My son's college is on Spring Break now so I'll bet there will be Spring Breakers at Universal but not an unmanagable crowd.
The girls aren't too young. There is something for everyone. My daughter started riding coasters as soon as she was big enough to get on. She is now fearless and would volunteer to ride the shuttle when she goes to the JFK Space Center next week.
Not sure what kind of tips you are looking for but we always get there at opening and leave at lunch time and rest at the hotel which usually means swimming then return to the parks when everyone else is leaving in the afternoon.
