Hi litlpixie,
My family and I went Easter week this year. We were there from Friday April 18th to Sunday the 27th. We had an absolutely wonderful time and our longest wait time for anything was 20 minutes. However this was our 8th trip and we know our way around and how to beat the crowds.
First we used Early Entry every morning. We would walk on the Early Entry rides and then when the park was opening to the public we would move on to a different section of the park and be ahead of the crowd.
On Easter EE was at the MK. There were 7 in our group, me, DH, DS who is 16 and our best friends who have a DS 7 and a DD 9. The 2 DH's headed over to Buzz and got fastpasses for the entire group as soon as we got in while my friend and I took our 3 kids straight to Fantasyland. The guys met up with us after the first ride or two. We rode everything in Fantasyland with no wait. Then at 9:00 we were over at the rope drop by the Haunted Mansion. We merged with the incoming crowd going towards Frontier Land. Since we were with the first wave of people we walked on Thunder Mountain and then waited about 10 minutes for Splash. When we got off Splash the wait was well over an hour so we headed to Adventure Land were we walked on Pirates and then on the Jungle Cruise. We then went to Buzz and used our fastpasses while the normal wait was already up to about an hour. We stopped at the Main st. bakery for a late breakfast and then headed out of the park which was now wall to wall bodies. I think it was around 11:00 am at that point. We went over and strolled the Boardwalk for a couple of hours and then went swimming. In the evening we headed back to MK and had our Easter Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern which has always been a favorite of both groups.
I didn't mean to go on so long about only one day but my point is if you know what to do to avoid the lines any time of year is good.
