What do you think the crowds will be like this Easter?

I am wondering what affect the economy will have on Disney attendance this spring. I had already booked a preferred room at the Pop months ago for the week after Easter. I was looking at tourguidemikes website and a poster said that she got the 4/3 deal the week after Easter even though the dates were technically during the blackout period. I decided to check myself and see what was up with that. Sure enough, I was able to get the 4/3 deal in standard room at the Coronado Springs resort for $350 cheaper than what I was going to pay in a preferred at the Pop. I switched resorts! Anyway, I was thinking that Disney must really be hurting or expecting to be hurting if they are willing to give the 4/3 deal during the weeks surrounding Easter during the time you would think they wouldn't have any trouble selling out. I am hoping that this might mean the parks will not be as crowded as normal this time of year. What do you all think?

The week of Easter is the second most busy after Christmas. Like me, most people have already set their plans for that time, before the big drop in the economy. From everything being posted here on the DISboard there seems to be no noticeable change in attendance at WDW so far.
