Planning a last minute trip, what week in April?

[DisneyGigi]

Trying to figure out what week to shoot for in April. With Easter falling early this year, when will spring break crowds thin out? Also trying to avoid the Star Wars Marathon crowds, assuming they will be pretty high. Thanks! Going to book today so need expert April help.

They don't thin out until May really. Lots of schools have spring breaks that spread throughout all of March and all of April. End of April/Early May actually would probably be a great time to go if you can do that.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if they would clear out sooner or not. I guess we will go with the last week in April then.

I think that will be your best bet if it has to be April.

Avoid the weekend of April 15th - that's the weekend of the 1st Star Wars Half Marathon at WDW. Stay home and do your taxes instead....

Just seen your countdown, are you running the 10K? We are flying in on the 12th and will be running it. So excited!!! This will be our 3 RD event!

Since Easter is in March, the last week of April may not be that chaotic. Most spring breaks revolve around that, including the colleges. Late-April-college-spring breaks are out of the ordinary considering most Spring Semesters wrap up in May so it's unlikely that they'll be throwing a week break while professors and students are prepping for final exams.

Yes I am. And it's my 3rd runDisney event, too. I'm arriving on the 14th. Running with my son in-law and my gym buddy. We are all so excited! My daughter and son in law just finished one of the Star Wars cruises, so he is a big SW geek, just like me.
