What are the crowds like after Easter but still during the "peak" times?

I will be visiting WDW on Mar 30 to Apr 6 which is after Easter. I had to take those dates since getting a flight on the surrounding weekends was next to impossible. I have been to WDW on numerous occasions, just not during a holiday period. Even though I will be there after the actual holiday is over, Disney still classifies it at a peak time of year. What can I expect as far as crowd size? I know that it will probably taper off as the week goes on but I would just like a general idea.

Thanks

For the last two years we have taken our family to Disney two weeks after Easter. We took the kids out of school. (the older ones won't let us do it anymore) We figured all the Easter break people had left by then.
I would say it's comfortable crowded and the weather was beautiful! A few thunderstorms but otherwise hot - but not unbearably so.
If the kids would let us take them out of school - you can bet we'd be going then again. This is our first trip in June and I'm a little (lot) worried about the crowds and the heat - especially since our youngest is 3.

I don't have a calendar handy, so I don't know how close to Easter your dates are but we went to WDW the day after Easter this year. We had a great time. It was crowded, but managable. We were told by CM's that the week before Easter was much worse.
We used touring plans from the Unofficial Guide not because we needed them, but to maximize our time. They worked beautifully. We were up and at the gates early, left or took a break mid-day, then went back to the parks in the early evening. I would highly recommend having PS for all sit down meals you think you might want.
We were even blessed with unseasonably cool weather. We would definitely go back during this time.
I'm sure things will be even better this year with the EM evening hours (great for our family because we're night owls).

I have been there during easter one time and that was way too crowded. This year I am returning just after easter on april 5 for 3 weeks vacation in Orlando

Easter is from march 24 to march 28.

We are going April 6-12. We've only been in July before, so I figure it's got to be way better than that! I'm hoping with it being towards the end of peak time, it will be a little less crowded, but the attractions that are only open during busy times will be open for us to enjoy. I always liked Carousel of Progress and Hall of Presidents.
