Week of May 3 or May 10?

[slo2jo]

I have reservations for May 3 - 7 and May 10 - 14. Got both because my family cannot decide which is best. I saw there's a grad night on May 13. Which week do you think would be less crowded? I know the Tinkerbell run is May 7 - 10 so either of those dates should avoid that.

thanks in advance!

It depends a little on how important Sunday is to your travel plans. My instinctive guess is that Sunday, May 10 is likely to be fairly busy because it's the end of the Tinkerbell Half Marathon and it's Mother's Day. The AP blockouts are the same for both May 3 and 10, so that should not factor into the crowds. Given that it's before the official kick-off to the summer season, there is a good chance that fireworks and F! will only be shown on weekends (Fri to Sun), so if you wanted to see either of those, I would probably lean towards May 3 to 7 (though you will probably see an uptick in crowds on Thu as the pre-race events start).

Thank you! I think we decided on May 3 - 7. There is a grad night on May 13 and we'd probably catch the tail end of the marathon on the 10th. I appreciate your response!

Both of those weeks should be pretty quiet but the 3rd through 7th would be my choice. We have gone several times during that time of year and it's a nice slow time for the parks.
