Does anyone know of a site where I can see actual attendance numbers? We're considering going for Easter and I'd like to see just how crowded it is, compared to President's week and summer. We have been in both of those times and found that while it is crowded, we can manage it without the crowds interfering with our fun. We're wondering how much worse Easter would be.
 
Disney does not release park attendance numbers.

In general, Easter is busier than President's Day week and busier than August.
 
We were at MK on Easter Sunday this year, and it was NOT crowded -- matter of fact, I think it was one of the least crowded days we've ever spent at MK! Now, I don't know how much that had to do with the Expedition Everest at AK opening this year, because a CM told us THAT park had to close because it was full to capacity on Easter! Which means next Easter, MK may be crowded again as the newness factor of Everest wears off. We've never been President's weekend, but we have been on the 4th of July, it was packed then, so we were thrilled to find Easter wasn't bad at all.
 
We went at Easter 2 years ago. WOW was it crowded! We drove and arrived a day early but could not check in at PC. The CM told us that all resorts were at 100% occupancy. The parks were crowded until a few days after Easter. We still had a great time - - it's Disney and we just love to be there.
 

It seems that Easter time is the most crowded when it falls in March and coincides with Spring Break (as it did in 2005). When Easter is later in April (as it was this year), the parks seem to be less crowded.
 
Easter is extremely crowded, much more so than our visits in August. I believe it is the second busiest time of the year, after Christmas/New Year.

We've only ever been around Easter (days right before or after) and I remember it being busy but we went this past year and it was DEAD (well, Disney dead which is in a whole other class but you know what I mean). We were so suprised, happily though. It was really nice.
