Week Before Christmas vs. Week of Easter Crowd ?

[sonnyjane]

Hello all

I am looking at flying my youngest sister out for her Christmas break, going to the parks most likely Tuesday Dec. 21 and Wednesday Dec. 22. I know that Christmas is a very busy time, but we have been to the parks during Easter week the last two years and I was just wondering if you think the crowds would be comparable? Will the week before Christmas be much more crowded than Easter/Spring Break? I know during her spring breaks Indy reached 120 minutes, Space was always around 90, etc. etc. I just didn't want to go to through the trouble if it was insane even beyond that. I know the week between Christmas and New Years is possibly the worst week of the year, just wanted to get your thoughts on the week BEFORE Christmas.

I appreciate your input!

I've been the week before Christmas and around Easter/Spring Break. From my experience the week before Christmas wasn't as bad a spring break but we also got really lucky with timing. The longest we waited was for Indy and it was about an hour. But we walked by later and it was higher than that. My guess is that it is similar in crowd size. I noticed people weren't there as early as for spring break because it got a lot more crowded as the day went. But I was also there the first weekend of Christmas break. My suggestion is just be prepared to wait. It definantly won't be worse than summer. Bring layers for night because me and my cousin FROZE when we where there.
