Least Crowded Park to go to on Easter

[MCBRIZZ5]

I'm going to Disneyworld for 3 days (April 13, 14 ,16) and I'm trying to figure out which park I should go to each day. On April 16th (Easter) which park is usually the least crowded. We are going early in the morning to ride EE but would like to choose the least crowded park afterwards.

I was EPCOT on Easter and it was empty. I've also been to MK on Easter and its packed. Its hard to say because I don't know what the attendance was like elsewhere. This was a few years ago, so things may have changed. I've also been to WDW during Christmas and found that EPCOT was the least crowded park.

In general - EPCOT deals with large crowds much better than MK - you'll likely find much smaller crowds in Epcot.

I don't know if you are going to actually find much smaller crowds anywhere, but you won't feel as crowded at Epcot...that being said, it will also have long long long lines for Soarin' and for Test Track, so you should get there right when the park opens if you want to ride either of those two. Otherwise, grin and bear it, and have fun -- you are going to find crowded conditions in all four parks that weekend.

I agree with the majority here. Epcot definately handles crowds better!! I would say the worst park for crowds is AK.. Walkways are very narrow, and congested.. Main thing is to get an early start and enjoy yourselves!!!

Actually, the worst park all weekend will be MK - last year and the year before, it reached capacity both Easter Sunday's and closed ticket sales in the afternoon. I agree that AK, though, woul feel the overall most claustrophobic

Epcot has begun phasing a few times in recent years on Easter - however Epcot can be at capacity but bearable. I would avoid MK and AK at all costs, as the attention to Everest is making AK hard on a normal day even.

So, Epcot or MGM, but Epcot is known for handling large crowds wells.

For general advice on which park on what day, www.touringplans.com is great with it's suggested day/park calendar based on historic attendance and events.

Basically, any park besides MK is best for all holidays.

If it were me, I would choose MGM. I've heard that it gets pretty empty.

Not on Easter it doesn't. It sure didn't last year.

According to the Unofficial Guide to WDW, the parks to avoid on Easter this year will be the Magic Kingdom and MGM. The crowd level resort-wide, again according to the book, will be a 7 out of 10.

(^Hard to believe, since I'm going on a random spring break weekend, and it's a 10/10 day with DAK being the most crowded! )

Our last 4 trips to WDW have been over the Easter fortnight - and to be honest we always avoid WDW on Easter Sunday and tend to visit SeaWorld which tends to be quieter

Thanks for the help! I was kinda hoping I would write this and have someone say that one park was completely empty but that was wishful thinking i guess.
