Touring Plans Easter crowd predictions

[TammyC]

Just took a look at the free 30 day crowd calendar on TP. It shows Good Friday through Easter crowds at 7,6,6. We have never visited around Easter because I had heard at crowds were high, but if true this might not be so bad. Thoughts?

Although I've never been at Easter, that sounds low to me. EasyWDW has those dates as 9, 9 and 8.

We will be there April 7-12 and would love for it to be a 6 or 7. I guess prepare for the 8 or 9 and LOVE it when it is the 6 or 7

Easter is very crowded! Our last day was Easter day in 2013 and it was just crazy : 2 hours wait just to get in MK... So I would probably trust more EasyWDW numbers...

Just looked at the TP historical calendars for Easter weekend (good Friday through Easter Monday):
2012: 6, 3, 5, 6
2013: 10, 8, 8, 9
2014: 9, 6, 6, 6

So the 2015 prediction seems reasonable.

Additionally, it looks like the week leading up to Easter is consistently more crowded than the weekend. For example, in 2013 it was a "10" every single day, Monday through Friday, in the week leading up to Easter weekend. In 2014 it was 8,9,9,9,9 in the week before Easter. So even if you're OK with the weekend crowds, the weekday ones might be too much.

Good luck!

Is the week AFTER easter less crowded than the week leading up to easter?

Our last trip was during 4th of July week. We went into it expecting the crowds to be awful. We didn't find it bad at all! I don't know if the crowds were actually lower, or if we were expecting it to be much worse so it didn't seem bad. We are going this year for Easter (April 1-10) and once again going into it expecting the worst! At least it'll be cooler!

According to easyWDW, crowds will be much lower starting on April 12:
