Northeast Spring break 4/15-4/24, any other Spring/Easter break that week?

[JoeCathyAngelina]

The northeast has a traditional spring break week during Marathon Monday, Patriots day, the 3rd Monday of April. It's usually a couple of weeks after Easter.
I was just wondering how crowded it's going to be at WDW 4/16-4/23 the week before Easter.
Good Luck All,
Joe

well considering that the MK is open until 1 AM most of those nights = would say crowded - very crowded.

You will become very close to those around you. Seriously, it is one of the busiest weeks of the year. I recommend an early start and a good touring plan.

The week before Easter is traditionally the most crowded of all the Spring Break weeks.

Here is a link to a Spring Break poll from the theme park board - looks like the week before Easter will be the most crowded:

We go every Spring Break which is the week before or after Easter each year for us. It can be very very crowded depending on which park and time of day we go. However, the weather has been beautiful (despite last week).

Some experts are expecting it not to be so crowded as usual since Easter is so late, but Disney has expanded hours to accomodate based upon their occupancy levels. I believe the DIS polls say about 20+% of DIS voters choose week leading up to Easter as their spring break every year. That is a trusted source of info.

Expect the worse, plan for the crowds and if a bit less crowded all the better.

Normally the EAster break in our neck of the woods is traditionally the week AFTER Easter, but not THIS YEAR. The kids in all of the counties are off the week before EASTER. I think it's because of the latest of the holiday. I think the week before EASTER in WDW will be much worse this year than the week after. Seems many states and counties in our area (4 state area) have changed their normal time to the week before.
