Which time is less crowded/less expensive? Spring Break (Easter) or First week of June?

Hello all! Looking to take a 5 night trip, but don't want to pull my high schooler out for a week. I figured we'd have to wait for school to be out, and go as early in the summer as we could, hoping for less heat and maybe less of a crowd. I always think crowds to be horrible around Easter, but would it be LESS crowded then than the first week of June (thinking June 4-9)? Also, how does price compare? Thanks so much for any input!!

June will be significantly less crowded. The two weeks surrounding Easter are second only to Christmas in n terms of crowds.

I'm not sure about the difference in price.

Spring Break/Easter is the busiest time of year! It's as busy or busier than Christmas! We've been during Easter.... last year the week before... and we will never go back during that time of year! We have done the first and second weeks of June many times.... and definitely no where near as crowded! And still not as hot as July/August.
And prices will be lower in June too!

We are planning 1st week of June also. Pricing is shown as peak, and average crowd levels 5-8 depending on the park. I've got my info through Touring Plans.

Thank you!! Sounds like June is the way to go! Though I'm still considering trying to find a way to go during school for even less crowds and better weather!

another quick question..Memorial week or first week of June? I'd guess Memorial week may be more crowded?

First week of June is a lot less crowded since most of the NE schools are still in session and don't get off till late June.

I think Memorial weekend would be more crowded (can't speak for the week). But we used to go every year Memorial weekend for SWW, and I found it very easy to find hotel deals offsite and in values. The hotels I looked at were actually cheaper Memorial weekend than first week in June although crowds were noticeably lighter in early June.
