We are going to be traveling over the Easter weekend, and while I expect the weekend to be crazy, what about the weekdays?

I was afraid you were going to say that :( I am starting to panick that it will be absolute mad house. I have gone in April and in October, both were not bad at all. Is the week surrounding Easter crazy as well? Man my nerves can't handle this :( :( :(

april's always supposed to be bad, but maybe i'm making it to be worse than it is. traditionally, it's the month surrounding easter, but they're still expecting all of april to be affected this year even though easter's in march. spring break, that's all.

We are going back to Disneyland March 25-27th. I was wondering how busy it would be too. I was curious because my son is on spring break 3/21-3/28 but I saw others saying there spring break is this week. I hope it isn't too busy but we will have fun no matter what, as we always do. Our trip last month (2/11-2/12) the park was really busy! We just walked around in circles without a plan and still had a great time. We even found the petting zoo that we had no idea was there! Our kids (2 & 9 months) loved it!
Enjoy your visit and just smile through the crowds! :)

Hmmm, so I keep reading that all of April should be crowded. But when I looked at the schedule for when I intend to be at DL (April 11-13), the park hours seem really short! (10-6 for DCA, 9-8 for DL) Is Disney not expecting big crowds? If there ARE big crowds, will the hours be extended?

I believe Easter is early this year (March), don't know what the spring break schedule is for the USA. Mid April they may be getting back to school. Most likely the hours are correct, crowd or not (April showers, bring May flowers), it may rain and schools are not out yet.

If it is really busy they will extend.

some parts of feb were pretty busy this year actually since that's when it's mostly locals and the rain kept them away most of the time. so whenever it wasn't raining, there was a boost, but i think that was later in the month.
