Which weeks are busier - the Easter Break week or the last couple weeks of June when all of the kids are out of school?
 
No experience with last of June but have been there early July as well as Easter week (a couple of times).. Personally, I wouldn't make a return trip EITHER of those times BUT if I had to choose I would go with Easter because of extra parades and activities and (most likely) better weather. Crowds are a whole lot easier for me to deal with if i am not about to pass out from the heat! My favorite time is early/mid December BEFORE school is out for Chirstmas. Took my middle school son out of school for two days and made a long weekend trip...a wonderful break for both of us and missing a couple of days of school did not hurt him in the least!
 
oh, and welcome to the MOM OF FOUR BOYS club...what a blessing! Mine are 26,24,18 1/2, and 16! Plus a daughter-in-law who will be going with me to WDW in November! :earsgirl:
 
Easter week is very crowded but the weather to me is 100% better than late June. I can deal with crowds much better when its not so hot and humid.
 

I've been both and it may be a little more crowded Easter Week, but there's not enough of a difference to make end of June that much better. Last year they had EMH at MK at 7 a.m. EVERY DAY of the two-week Easter season. It was great. We would do MK for a couple of hours and then hop to another park. We walked on tons of stuff. They also had evening EMH two nights at MHM during the weekend before Easter. The weather is so much better during Easter.
 
Just one thing that may have an affect on the Easter crowds. That is vacation week for many schools in New England, and lots of folks will go down from up here that week.

We have found the Easter week crowds :crowded: to be very - very big!

I agree with sue1013 about the weather usually being better around Easter.
 
Easter crowds are truly nightmarish and we would never do a trip in that week again. We have gone several times in the last week of June to July 4th and if you can deal with the heat, the last week in June is great, by the 4th and after is when the crowds start getting summer big.

I am also a mom of 4 boys!!! They are 10,8,6, and 3.

I wanted to say that we went this past June from 5/31 to 6/11 and towards the end of our trip crowds were picking up but not to bad. Last year we went mid July it was not bad crowd wise to us but very HOT!
