Quick Question about April 2009

[TinkandPooh]

I know many spring breaks are now just going into full force and will continue through the end of April.
My question is:
Does anyone have any ideas what kind of crowds we should expect on Thursday April 2nd, 2009, or in other words 2 and a half weeks from now?

I see that the park hours listed for that day are less than some of the other days, so I don't know if that means DL is expecting lighter crowds or what and I know that know real prediction can be made so I was hoping that someone with past experience in going during the 1st week of April might be able to fill me in on how it was when they were there?

We go often because we have APs but this is one time of year we have never gone so it will be all new to us.

Thank you so much in advance to everyone who has some advise.

Get there as early as possible and be in line half an hour before opening and hope they do a rope drop. Do Priority seating for meals if you can. Plan for crowds in the afternoon and building into evening. Remember that is the last time to go to the parks for Southern California passholders for 2 weeks so they may be trying to get in some last minute DLR fixes.

If you miss Buzz then during Fireworks you can get in quickly and on a packed Sunday I waddled high speed when the fireworks ended and had to wait about 10 to 15 seconds for the next ride vehicle while the group in front on me just made it without a wait.

Get Peter Pan and Fantasyland out of the way or get the big rides out of the way. Get fastpasses and read the tips stickied on this board.
