Spring Break March 2016 Trip, crowded??

[DisMom829]

I'm planning an 8 day 7 night trip for spring break Mar 12-20. I don't count the last day as we leave in the early morning hours. I'm determined to get 3 uses out of those darn annual passes I've never been this time of year, having been in July and this past November. We are use to the crowds. How bad are the spring break crowds? We drive our own car and use it for transportation to/from the parks. I've booked arrival day as B&C along with DisQuest and Splitsville, AK & HS as 1/2 park days with afternoons off to use resort pool or water parks. Two days dedicated to MK, one to Epcot to take in the Flower & Garden Festival, which leaves 2 days to plan as we go. We were just there in November, so we told the kids, no repeating of shows we just saw in November. I know, I know, I'm a mean momma, lol. My plan seems logical considering what I've read on crowds for March. And tips, critiques??

In my experience the two most crowded spring break weeks are the ones directly before and directly after Easter Sunday so you may be ok. That has just been my experience. I am sure others have had different experiences.

We will be there then as well! My Auburn student and my high school kids will be out that week. I can't believe it lined up so beautifully! So, I am anticipating arriving early, using FP+ and making a few ressies for dining. Whatever else we get to do is bonus!

We will be there that week too. We went that same week last year as well. It definitely got busier as the week went. It was definitely crowd level 7-9, just depending upon the park and day. It was sometimes more crowded than when we have been in June and July but not massively. Obviously, it wasn't too terrible, or we wouldn't be going back. MK opened early at 8am, so AM EMH was 7am. We got there at 7:30am; accidentally slept in. However, it was still not crowded at all, and we got a ton done in the morning. Weather is nice too. Since this isn't Easter week, that will help.

We were there 3/14-3/21 last year. It was definitely crowded, but we really only felt the crowds while trying to move around on walkways in the middle of the day. We were able to do everything we wanted to, many things more than once and never waited in a single significant line (no more than 10-15 minutes) the whole time, outside of character meets with no FP. Rope dropped every day, took afternoon breaks, used FP+ to the max, and had a blast.
