Slower time between Spring Break and Summer?

[xmelissax]

We have annual passes and generally don't go in summer ever, even though we can go during the week. Too crowded. So we wanted to get in 1 or 2 trips before it turned summer, and after spring break when it would be slower. I know it's never really slow anymore due to 50th but I've gotten used to it.
When are the best times to go when it will be less busy? I have no idea when spring break is considered officially over and when summer oficially starts at Disney. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Most of May should be pretty good. Early June- the first week or so is probably pretty good as well. A couple things you can look at for an idea: The disney calendar/ daily schedule. The days with long hours and full entertainment are going to be busy. Shorter days with less going on are going to be quieter. The other thing to look at is the hotel rate chart. Go to the disneyland website, then in the upper left corner pick hotels, then rates. Under the rates are the dates for each price.

Two years ago we went in April arriving right as the official "spring break" time ended. It was not crowded at all during the week.

We went last year I think the week Before Memorial day weekend and it was great. It was the start of the 50th. We usually go to the parks weekdays only because of the crowds on the weekend. I could never get my DH to go on a weekend EVER

Great! We plan to go in the last week on April on either a Tues or Wed and then sometime in the middle of May. We also amost never go on weekends unless we're going with friends and that's the only time they can go. Even then usually on Fridays (which doesn't quite count as weekend but it's usually still busy) Thanks a lot!
