I knew that Easter was early this year and our vacation fell right after the holiday, but it never occurred to me that Easter would be a busy time of year for the parks. Christmas and Halloween, I could totally see it. But goodness!! Everything that I am reading is saying that the crowds will be awful the week before and the week after Easter!
Hopefully, Hubs will do okay with the crowds and it won't be too unpleasant. We have a tentative itinerary planned, but I can't help but wonder if we should move our "Harry Potter day" to midweek in hopes that it will be slightly less packed? Any thoughts??
