I woulda thought it'd be dead from Friday afternoon to Saturday sundown, and bounce back to life again Sunday morning.

I was in MK on Easter in 2010 and I remember the line for Haunted Mansion being backed up to the Liberty Belle Riverboat on ramp. Crazy lines everywhere. Of course, that was 15 years ago and crowd patterns have changed, but I still worry about days like that. We just have no other time to go this year.

I was in DHS on Easter a couple years back. It was dead. Especially before noon.

Weekend after Easter typically that busy?

Friendswood Disney Dad21 days ago

Interesting. That Sunday is our Hollywood Studios day. Fingers crossed it will be manageable, but I was really hoping they would extend the park hours so there would be a second performance of Fantasmic as there is on Friday & Saturday. So we could tour the park all day and then see the late performance. Thanks

Actual holidays aren’t as busy as the days before and after any longer. Christmas Day was lovely last year. By about 12/27, it was slammed.

Weird that Easter Sunday only has 1 extra hour at MK, but no added park hours for any other park. Disney added park hours for Friday and Saturday for MK, AK, and HS. Do they think those crowds are just going to stay home on Sunday?
