pre Thanksgiving/post Easter?

[SplashM12]

Can anyone compare the crowds between the week leading up to Thanksgiving (we usually check out on Sunday before Thanksgiving day) and the week of April 23-28 of this year? Trying to get a sense of crowds since we have never been to WDW in April. Thanks!

I go the week after Thanksgiving and it's pretty quiet so my guess is the week before Thanksgiving week would be similar. I've never been late April but I would think there would still be some spring break crowds but not horrible. If you want warmer weather definitely try April. If you don't care so much about the weather stick with November. I do go mid-March and mid-May and try to miss spring break. The weather is pretty hot in May.

Thanks! I am looking forward to certainly warmer weather in April, but am nervous about crowds. Maybe since Easter is later and we are going a week after Easter, it won't be as bad?

We are going April 25 to May 2. We've been around those times on our last few trips. Crowds are low and weather is great. You'll love it! Especially since your dates fall right when the spring break crowds finally break. Enjoy your trip, maybe I'll see you there!

Oh, so you're not trying to decide between weeks, just wanting to compare so you're ready for a week never done. I think your April week will be a tiny bit more crowded than November, but you probably won't really notice it. **************.net has the week before Thanksgiving as the 5th best week to visit, and the April 23 week as the 9th best week.

Our last trip was Thanksgiving 2015. We arrived on Black Friday. The crowds were noticeably less than summer.

I'm not sure that helps

Yes! Thanks. That is what I am hoping! A little more, but not tooooo much more!

Thanks! All the talk about spring break and Easter made me a bit nervous, but it sounds like it clears out a bit by then! Have a great trip!!
