Will March 30 *really* be that bad...?

[confectioneer]

My wife and I will be in Tokyo the end of March, and are thinking of visiting TDS on Wednesday March 30.

I originally figured "mid-week, not a national holiday, should be fine!". Then I checked the park hours: 8AM-10PM. Uh oh, that sounds like they're expecting a busy day.

http://www15.plala.or.jp/gcap/disney/ has the park at a crowded "49". And http://tdrnavi.jp/forecast/disneyland?lang=en has it at a terrifying "100".

We've been before, and we'll likely be back in Tokyo at some point in the future too, so skipping the park doesn't mean we miss our only chance for TDS.

But will there really be that many people on a work day???

School year in Japan starts beginning of April, so I suspect the break is wrapping up around there and kids are out of school. And looking at those links, they don't predict crowds down till April 5th, so yep, it's the school year break.

I'm so glad I picked my holiday dates as I did. We arrive in Japan on the 29th March, but we're going to TDL April 6/7/8. Planned for just after the school holidays.

Aha, that explains it -- thanks!

We will be at DisneySea on March 29th - OP, I'll post that evening when we get back to our apartment and let you know how it was! Lol. I'm scared, but it was the only day we had available, so we got tickets. Hopefully it will all work out with the crowds!
