This is a great time of year for Disney

[anniemae]

I have been looking at fb posts and pictures today for different Disney groups and it is absolutely dead at the parks today. People say it has been this way for a few days. It's before the school spring break madness but after all the college spring breaks. If you can swing it, this is a great time to go!

Uh, that's not actually true. Most if not all of the FL schools have had their spring breaks....that's why the parks were SUPER busy these last few weeks.

Yes, FL had spring breaks around college breaks. Next week and the week after is the Northern states, the mid western states, and I think the west as well. My point was that this is kind of a sweet spot. In between college (and southern middle/elementary/high schools breaks) and Northern/midwest and any other elementary/middle/high schools spring breaks.

I have seen fb photos and people are wondering why MK is so empty. Epcot wait times were around 15 minutes. If you can go at this time, it seems like a great time to go!

Okay I getcha now! If I wasn't a teacher and locked into certain travel times, I would definitely take advantage of it!

Wait times were crazy low for a weekend on Sunday- my girls and I like to check and play "guess the wait time" and we were amazed at how low they were for 3pm on a weekend! I think with Easter so late that there is a strange lull week this week between normal spring-spring breaks and Easter/Patriots Day/New England spring breaks.

The good and bad crowd weeks in April change every year.

Very interesting how much this fits with the Dis Spring Break poll results:

[But many years Easter falls during the first or second weekend in April, so the low percentage of spring breaks this week is not the norm]

Not around here. Wisconsin and Illinois had spring break at the end of March.

Yes, it varies by state and school (public vs. private). Just talking generalizations here, easier than listing each states breaks. Some had breaks in March, Some early April. This week seems to be a lull before Northern/New England breaks as many schools, have already had breaks.

We were just there last Thursday thru Sunday to run the Star Wars races. Very warm days. A little bit long waits at tomorrow land and fantasy on Friday. HS had fast passes for favorites but got on toy story Mania in under 35 mins which I thought was good for a Saturday and spring break time
That said. I would do a trip in early November , or right after thanksgiving with good touring plans over a spring trip. Humidity. Drank like 8 water bottles a day. Weather still warm, but much nicer in late November
