Easter was our standard go to week for years. We lived in California at the time (originally from NJ) & daughter attended private school ( her break was always during Easter). Year after year it got more & more crowded. 2018 being the worst. I over heard so many people talking to each other & on their phones saying they’ve never seen it so crowded @ Easter before. It was also HOT. I now live in Southeast & I know hot. Daughter is now in public school & Spring Break is always the first week of April. Friend of mine in Boston area always have Break in mid April. We are not going to WDW this year during Easter/Spring Break. after last years crowd, I couldn’t do it this year.
I'm stalking "Easter break" threads. I came across yours and curious if you booked Easter week? And, if you've come up with a game plan for how to handle it. I'm considering the same week, 4/4/20-4/11/20. I've never done Easter and am scared to death. lol. Had originally planned early June or late July 2020 but these temps this week have me rethinking it. I know hot. We live in the south AL and our feels like is 105 today. I CANNOT imagine being at the parks with this kind of hot... What to do? What to do?
We decided against it, but not because of crowds. Because my job changed and will change again before then and I don’t know if I will be able to take a whole week off, plus we are going feb and maybe the following week in April for rundisney races.
, that’s a lot of what ifs!
haha! That IS a lot of what ifs! I'm just an overthinker. I was ready to book my trip for late July 2020 last week and then decided I need to sit on it a bit before I book. Of course now I'm doubting it.We decided against it, but not because of crowds. Because my job changed and will change again before then and I don’t know if I will be able to take a whole week off, plus we are going feb and maybe the following week in April for rundisney races.
If we were doing the feb trip and maybe the other April trip and my job was set we would have booked it haha
We are going for our first summer trip this year and I will have a better opinion on that soon.... it’s so hard to pick a week at least for me especially now that I battle the school calendar!
Same! Honestly unless you can go like a random week in March it’s always crowded or hot or both....
I’m South Alabama too, the past week has been horrible. We usually go to WDW early June. You just have to keep hydrated and take breaks. We always have a TS lunch, then go back to the resort. Go back to park in the evening. My husband did get sick last year, he was drinking soda and no water. That’s why we want to try Spring.
That's a great idea about TS lunches, then a break. We usually do TS breakfast or dinner, and mobile order lunch. Anyway to avoid the crowds is great idea. We did Mardi Gras this year and loved the weather! We don't get as much of a break for Mardi Gras this year and I don't want to take the kids out of school otherwise I'd do that timeframe again for sure.
