I'm just trying to figure out what's the best time to go middle of April with everyone else or end of April early may. Thanks!

We have been to the parks during the last week of April the past 2 years and LOVED IT!!

The crowds seemed to be perfect, the weather was awesome (not a drop of rain) and day-light savings time was already in effect.

Just beware that they host a lot of graduation nights for high school seniors this time of year. On Saturday night, April 29, Magic Kingdom closed at 7:00pm for a HUGE graduation night. These nights can impact how late the parks are open and cause the other parks to be more busy.

We stayed at a DVC resort and didn't see/hear any teens but I heard several complaints about obnoxious teens from guests that were staying at the value resorts. It was also music festival week while we were there and I would assume the "problem" teens were with the band/choirs that were on property as I don't think the seniors spend the night??

We stayed at CBR April 28-May 5. The parks were not that crowded and with fast pass we had no problem at all. Peter Pan's Flight was the longest wait at 40 min. but that was at around noon and I think everyone is in Fantasyland then. The resort didn't seem too crowded either, no crazy teens, but the main pool was very crowded in the afternoon. The kiddie pool was less crowded and a lot of fun for my nephew, 5.
