Post Easter April 13-20 touringplans.com crowd level changes

[dakotafrost]

I am traveling to Disney the week after Easter. Just a few days ago I checked the crowd levels on touringplans.com for April 13-20, and they were mostly 7's. The week before Easter was all 8 or 9. Now, April 6-15 are all listed as 10! 10! I've never seen that many days at 10 before. Christmas/New Year's is 6 or 7 days at 10, tops. So the parks could possibly close due to capacity for 10 days straight (April 6-15)? And then, the 15th-20th is all 9's!

What gives? Why are the crowds listed as SO high? And why less than a week ago were these days in the 7 range and now they are all at 9 or 10?

Schools in Northern Virginia are out on spring break the week of April 6 thru 10th. I would think the parks would be more crowded during/around any holiday throughout the year. Plus the nicer weather and great Disney deals going on... We still like fall and winter in the parks best.

Does anyone have the crowd levels for the free dining period? Im one good reason away from convincing my fiance to go. If the crowds are at all reasonable during that time I think Ill get her. Its 8:15 in the morning and Im at work, or else I would just be going over to Barnes and Noble to pick up the unofficial guide myself.

Free dining period is not bad at all. I've been myself during that time. The waits are low, the busiest thing is the restaurants. As long as you make ADR's that shouldn't affect you though. The crowd levels range from 4 to 7's for just about the entire stretch.

WOW, you cant be serious, I ALWAYS go around then and its NEVER been 8 style crowding.

Yeah disney keep crying about the economy, firing people, cutting back on rides, ride improvements, and cutting back on the magic while I wait in 120 minute lines for freekin TSM!

We are going April 29th to May 6th, originaly picked it for weather, and crowd levels.... We have been beginning of August, adn then the week between Christmas and New Years, (literally, Dec 26th-Dec. 31st) So I suppose no matter what the waits are like, it cant be worse than the CHristmas week, and not hotter than August week! All in all, I hope this is our best weather and crowd week so far!
