Which week would you recommend for spring?
Considering crowds only, which week in late spring would you recommend? When do "out of school for the summer" crowds start? I know Easter break is crazy, but what about a few weeks later? We have a small chance of a trip, so we should at least start to think about a few things. Thanks

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
I really like the first two weeks of May. Crowds are light to moderate, the weather is great.
It depends when Easter falls but as a rule the first part of May is great and the second part gets a little tricky with the crowds and weather.

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
Last May we went May 14th through the 21st and had a great time, the crowds were low and the weather was perfect. But on the last weekend there were groups of kids and schools there for a end of the year trip I guess, it wasn't too bad but the wait times definitely increased. We moved our trip up one week this year to avoid this. We'll be there May 5th through the 16th. Maybe I'll see ya there!

Maybe. We got APs for our 14 day Dec trip, thinking that would be the only time it would be used. But we have some credit on SW that needs to be used by 7/15. So we were thinking in order to not waste the 250 on SW, maybe we should shoot for a trip in May. Makes sense, right? In order to not waste money, we should spend more!! |

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
I agree, I would hate to loose those credits myself.

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
I would like to go in the spring time too. But not sure which week either.
I too want to go when the crowds are low, the weather is beautiful (meaning NO RAIN!!) and the hotels aren't too expensive (ie peak season). I was thinking end of April or beginning of May might be a good time... ????

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
I love the end of May ..the Flower and Garden festival is beginning at Epcot and it is just so beautiful ..in the past the crowds have grown a bit during this time though ..still I think it is worth it and the crowds are nothing like they were last week!!!

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
From all that I have read, the begining of May should be a great time to go.
We go every May, usually towards the end of the month, this year we are trying out the beginning of May.

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
If I had a choice I would choose cooler weather, but if we go, it has to be by 7/15. I was thinking early May would be after Easter, before most schools let out, and maybe not to hot. Rain doesn't bother me. Last trip we had rain several days of rain but with the world famous cheap ponchos and a small umbrella, it was ok. The reason for the unbrella is I hate rain on my glasses.

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
Early May is nice :c) I love those Spring time days here in Fl.
Glad to know rain doesn't stop you jo-jo! It's a great way for the park to get emptied out quick, isn't it? Don the poncho, flip up the umbrella! It is time to ride some rides! LOL!

Re: Which week would you recommend for spring?
I went the last weekend in May, and one weekend it was REALLY crowded at MK. Other than that, it was a GREAT time to go! I think it was Gay Pride Weekend at MK??
