Spring Break Crowds In March
- Thread starter TheAtticBride
- Start date
Well this will be the first time we're going during a major crowded time, and I was wondering how bad it will be.

According to Disneys website the 1st 2 weeks in March are considered light crowds this year coming up.I think that last year Easter fell alot earlier and that is part of the reason it was so busy last March. Guess we will find out though when we are there Feb28-March11

Oh it didn't sound like that at all
And hopefully since Easter is later it will be less crowded

It depends on when your spring break is. What dates are you going?

March 13th-20th
As of now, the crowd prediction calendar on touringplans.com has each day you are there rated a 6, which is not too bad. It will be busy, but nowhere near what you would see during most of the summer or major holidays such as Christmas or Easter.
Have fun!

My family and I were down at Disney over Easter a few years ago and the crowds were huge...however, I think Easter fell on a date in April though. I have been to Disney many times and I've gone each year at the end of July and the beginning of August so I don't really know much about crowd levels at other parts of the year other than around Easter time. I'm going to be in Orlando around the second week in March and I'm planning to head over to Epcot for the day so I'll try to update on crowd levels.

We will be there Feb 28th to March 7th at BCV. My DH teaches college so we have to go when he is off and it is spring break for his school.
Spring break for colleges does seem to bring some crowds, and the prices are higher (or at least peak season) but it isn't anything like kids HS and younger's spring or Easter break. That is much worse.
We have been many times this week in March and while the crowds are normally lighter the 1st week in May (the other time we go) it still isn't bad.

Just to let you know, the Canadian March Break falls during your time there and there may be a ton of Canadians. We are going from the 14th until the 24th, and if our last two trips (which were during our March Break) are any indication, I expect to see quite a few Canadians there again this year. They are really advertising the 4 night, 3 free deal up in my next of the woods and I personally know quite a few people who are taking WDW up on this offer.

I visited WDW last year in Early April during a spring break time, and it was pretty crowded. At the Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain reached waits of up to 70 min., although Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain weren't as bad. They were somewhere near the 30s-40s. Pirates was at 45, Haunted Mansion around 30. Fantasyland was packed, nothing had below a 40 minute wait.
At the Animal Kingdom, Everest reached 90 min. during midday, Kali River Rapids peaked at 45, and Dinosaur had 60 min. waits. Primeval Whirl was short at only 20 min., Kilimanjaro Safaris had 80 min. waits, and It's tough to be a bug was almost a walk-on.
Rockin' Rollercoaster at Hollywood Studios reached 70 min. waits, TOT had 40 min. waits, Star Tours at about 30. I was able to get in most of the shows at the very end without waiting. The Great Movie ride had 40 min. waits throughout the day.
Epcot was extremely crowded. Soarin boasted 120 min. waits and ran out of Fastpasses 2 hours into the day. Test Track had 70 min. waits, Mission: Space had 60. Nemo had 40 min., same with Maelstrom. Spaceship: Earth had 50 min. waits, and every other ride had less then 20 min. waits.
Hope this Helped!
