What week is likely busier? Halloween, Easter week or Memorial day?

[Childs1stTime2Disney]

Which is likely busier? October around Halloween, Easter week or Memorial day? Or could they be sort of comparable? Can your rank them in likely order of least to most busy?

 

[Alesia]

Easter is definitely the busiest, by far. I think Memorial day weekend is a bit busier that Halloween

 

[joviroxx]

Easter Week by a LONG mile

 

[cindyfan]

Hands down!!! EASTER is by far the busiest!!!!!!
The other 2 don't even come close in comparison!

One advantage of memorial day is no parties at MK. Sometimes they can disrupt your planning.

Easter, without hesitation.

Conversly, I consider the parties an advantage because MK party days have low crowds.

However, might this Halloween be more crowded due to Galaxy's Edge?

Counter point is that Memorial Day will be the start of Summer after the 2nd Star Wars ride, Mickie/Minnie Ride, and Ratatouille all open.

Easter is by far the busiest. Also the most expensive. I was looking into a decent week in the first 1/2 of next year for DS and I to go. The week leading into Easter next year is $225/night at the All Stars and $278/night at Pop Century. Those are the prices for standard rooms at VALUES. I didn't look at anything else. Ouch.

 

[EEEEE]

I went Easter week once many years ago and it was insanely crowded everywhere every day of the week. The only upside though was that MK was open until 12-1 am everyday and even had EMH one day until 2 am.

Easter is one of the busiest of the entire year. Probably 2nd to Christmas/NYE week

So did I and I vowed NEVER again, yet here I am looking at it again....and saying am I crazy???

This will be my 4th Halloween week trip. I never thought of it as a peak time.

If you are avoiding crowds, I'd say Halloweeen is probably the lightest of those three. Not too much happening at parks (other than nighttime Halloween party at MK which happens for a few weeks, which is a whole other ticketed event (and could actually lighten up the daytime crowds on days the Halloween party is happening). The whole of October is not peak time at all, and kids don't get time off from school for that holiday, and there really isn't a drive to come to a theme park for it.

Easter week or Memorial day I would expect to be horrendous, as kids get time off from school, and whenever kids are off from school, expect peak crowds at Disney as people book their vacations during those breaks. That is just general rule of thumb.

Memorial day isn't horrendous. It's busy, but it's not even close to being as busy as easter
