Honestly, its not as bad as you think . . .we've been Easter week in 99 and 00 . . .crowds were more so during the 2000 vacation because of the Millennium Celebration. The key to a stress-free vacation is to take your time!! Another important thing to do is to make your PS! I made that mistake last year!! When we arrived at WDW Easter week 2000, I could not get a PS at the times I wanted, we ate dinner every night after 8pm! And it was very hard to get a Character B-fast. So just remember to do that before you leave. What we did to stay away from crowds was to eat a later b-fast around 10am, go to the parks for a couple hours, return to our resort to swim and hang out and relax, then return after dinner. We have never had a STRESSED out vacation yet. You'll be fine . . .honest . . .just think we are going on July 4th next year! Never mind the crowds, how bout the heat and humidity?? LOL April is beautiful!!
