I'm not one to worry about crowds, but my traveling companions do. They are concerned about the 8's & 9's during our trip (March 10th-19th). However, I've experienced the same thing you have. No ADR situations with Le Cellier, and we even moved CRT Breakfast around 2 months ago with no problems.

I'm thinking the crowds are going to be really hard to pinpoint because Spring Breaks are really spread around, so past years aren't going to be such a good indicator.

Just wanted to let you know, as a pp did earlier, that those numbers are NOT surprising and DO make sense..because it's Canadian March Break! You may not think that's a big deal, but with the current exchange rate, you will be swamped with us canucks!! Sorry guys...We are traveling the week before that so we will be safely back in Canada when the mass exodus to Florida and other southern destinations commences.

We're on that cruise too!!!!
Have you been on the cruise meet thread? We're doing a Fish Extender exchange if you want to get in on it. Need to reply by 2/1 I think.

Not running any races though!

I'm not too worried. I thought it was just Ontario & Nova Scotia that week? The other provinces were having theirs later.

Anyway, as I said, crowds don't bother me. I grew up going to WDW in July before the age of Fastpass, so 2 hours for a once-around on Space Mountain was how I learned to be patient with Disney crowds.

Bought DVC in May, went in december 2010 and now going back in March 2011! AMAZING! I LOVE IT.

But this time, we have a "first timer" in my daughter's 20 year old BF. WooHoo!!!!

So long as it isn't August, I can take any weather!

March 13 - 19, 2011 OKW


Oh, GO FROGS!!!(TCU)

WOW!! That would drive me CRAZY!!! Good thing our first trip was in Sept with NO crowds or we may never have returned....that's a lie, of course we would!
I actually have no clue about the rest of Canada..but if you count only the people I work with that plan on going that time..well...that's too many if you ask me. That's why we try to go at off peak times..no patience.

We just booked a trip for our spring break March 26 - April 2! DH and I will have our 3 youngest kids and our daughter's friend for her first trip to WDW! We are already booked for a trip at the end of May too so this is a bonus trip. Staying at Saratoga Springs in a 2 bedroom villa. Only 64 days to go!

We were there last year during the second week in March and it was very crowded. We did fine as long as we got to parks early and rode our must do rides as soon as possible. By noon, it was crazy crowded. When it's like that, park hoppers are worth every penny so you can go to another park if one seems too crowded to bear. One afternoon we saw 4 hour wait times for Soarin'. We had already ridden that morning so no worries for us but I felt really sorry for those folks in line. Still, we had a great time. Did a lot of people watching and just taking in the atmosphere.

Any time... I finished up another project early - so I might be able to make them (or at least start making them ) sooner.


We were going at the begining of march - but 2 of my friends backed out before Thanksgving - so we had to cancel our trip. So, now I just check the March board every morning for updates to the main page, but I don't participate much.

Gosh that was not our experience at all last March. There was never a time that the lines for anything, minus toy story, were over 30-35 minutes. We were there the second and third week of march last year. The only day it was bad was one day at DHS when the cheerleaders invaded.

Now THAT'S what I like to hear! I've only visited in May and June so this will be our first March visit. I know the week I'm going is spring break for many other places...not Orlando's thank goodness as that would be insane, but your post puts me at ease a bit.

Aren't ya just lovin' this Winter? As a yearly (almost) WDW visitor in March, one of the benefits to me is how the anticipation of a March landing in MCO allows me to laugh in the face of a harsh Pa. Winter. We already lost one school day to snow and had a 5 in. dusting this morning, but who cares? In 40 days 7 hrs. 26 mins. 34 secs, not that I'm counting, we'll be 'suffering' in 70 + degree heat, birds chirping, green foliage everywhere. See ya there!

Yep, I'm with you!! Canada isn't called the Great White North for nothin'
Can't wait for Disney!!! 40 Days 13 Hours and change!!

 

[mommy2mrb]

we don't get a lot of snow here in Seattle area, but when we do, the town pretty much shuts down ...... since moving back up here from CA in June, I need to get used to the grey days again...so looking forward to some FL sunshine in 63 Days!!!!!

Us too...we just keep getting snow dumped on us here in NYC, over and over. I like snow and all, but enough is enough.

I love Megan's countdown! What a great idea.

So, so cold here!!! We're feeling "done" with winter. DH is tired of snow plowing, I'm just tired of the cold and the dreariness. A little over 2 months until we get to enjoy the tropical lushness of the Poly!!!
