Mother's Day Weekend?

[Penny Jane]

Hello all, I have been visiting this site since our last trip 2 years ago, but this is my first post as a member...

We are planning a 5 or 6 day trip in early to mid May, and I was wonder how the crowds are on Mother's Day? Is it busier than a typical weekend day? Do they do anything special for Moms?

I have a 4 and 6 year old so we wanted to do mostly Magic Kingdom, with shorter trips to the other parks, and we chose early May because it seems to one of the best times to go as far as crowds are concerned.

Thanks in advance for any insight or information!

It's not crowded. We go every year on Mother's Day. In honor of Moms, they charge premium holiday prices in the restaurants and block-out TIW discounts... that's the only part of this weekend I don't like.

We've been in the World on Mothers Day in 2007 and 2011, and both times there was minimal, if any, extra crowds. Early to mid May is a great time to go - crowds are smaller than the Spring Break and Summer times, and the weather is usually good.

Enjoy your trip! :wave:
