We are arriving on Friday the 18th, we were planning to visit MK on the 19th (Saturday) and Easter is on the 20th (Sunday). The only reason why we planned for Saturday is because my 5 year old will just can't wait to see MK. Would the crowds be a lot better on Monday the 21st?

Saturday, anytime of year is never a good choice for MK. You did not mention how long you were staying. We will be staying at the HRH 4/18 - 4/25 and were thinkin tuesday might be the best day to visit MK. Just a thought.
 
We are heading to Vero Beach on Tuesday. I think I may change my plans to Monday, if there is a big difference in crowds.

P.S. we are staying at OKW (18th - 21st) and VB (22 - 25th)
 
Sorry to tell you the following: Easter Sunday is the worst as MK goes close to or to capacity on that day; the day before Easter and the day after are, unfortunately, almost just as bad as Easter Sunday. MK has no real "better" days during the entire two weeks surrounding Easter (just a little bit less on some) except that Friday before Easter tends to be somewhat better than the rest.
 

Why is the Friday before Easter better then the rest? Any particular reason?

I was in WDW the Friday before Easter last yr and thought it was the pits!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget the Friday before Easter is Good Friday and Florida schools are out for the weekend!!!
 
Understand when I said Friday seems to be the lightest of the Easter time days that just means it is not quite as bad as the other days which are all hugely crowded. Everytime we have gone at the time of year, Good Friday has always seemed less than other days (why is anybody's guess), but what that means is that people are not quite completely on top of each other and the popular rides don't get up to a 2 hour line for as long a period in the day as other days. In other words, trying to chose a truly "light" day for MK during that time of year is a futile exercise as there is no such animal. MK will be extremely packed everyday and some days, like Easter Sunday, are just even worse than the rest. Whether Florida schools are in or out of session is entirely irrelevant to that time of year. In fact, you will find that most local residents avoid WDW like the plague during those weeks. The crowds are produced by the huge numbers of out of state guests who have spring break during those Easter weeks.
