When Easter is early - how are the late April crowds?

Hi -
My kid's "spring recess" is always week 16 (this year, 4/11-4/17). Because the date for Easter hops around (no pun intended!), somtimes the spring recess is nowhere near Easter. This is the case for 2005. Easter is 3/27, and our spring recess isn't until 4/18.
So my question is - Is there a good chance it won't be crazy-crowded at that time, since the Easter vacationers should be long gone?

Thanks for any comments/experiences you can share!
 
Just to beware - Most public schools here in the Northeast have spring break the 3rd full week of April, so that would still be a popular time for us New Englanders to escape to WDW.
 

We usually have the third week of April off. We like to go at this time when Easter is earlier. (Crowds were just too much for us at Easter)
Weather is great, crowds are fine, some busy spots but nothing awful. Some years the park hours are short, and the fireworks, specto, etc are not every night. So that takes some planning.
And this year there are grad night to work around. (that is the week of April 18-25)

All in all its one of our favorite times.
 
Crowds are not bad, you're just surrounded by people from the Northeast. The weather is great; it's our favorite time to go. If all goes well we will be there the week after that next year, since NH likes to be different from the rest of the Northeast.
 
Of course, I already looked into DD's breaks for next year. We are in New York (on Long Island). It seems all districts around here are doing their own thing. Our district cut out the February break and we get a week for Easter and a Week in April for Passover.

I am thinking of heading off to Disneyland during the April break.:D
