Late April vs Early April

Hi,

Sorry all the posts but hopefully this will be it for a while and I
will book our trip!

Does anyone have a good idea what how crowded Walt Disney World in
Orlando is in late April as compared to the first week?

Our kids have off April 2nd through 6th so that was our first choice.
But after reading all the posts about how crowded it is then we are
considering going around the 26th of April when our kids have a
Thursdady and Friday off. So we would probably be there from the 25th
through the 29th if we go then.

We hate to pull the kids from school for a day but if it makes that
much of a difference and we can enjoy more rides and not deal with long
lines then we will go in late April.

Thanks in advance for any feedback and thanks for all the useful info
so far!

Isn't every April different, depending on when Easter falls? I don't
have a 2007 holiday calendar handy, but I'm assuming (correctly or
incorrectly) that the week that the OP's kids are off from school is
Easter week? Holiday weeks will be your busiest. If you can avoid
visiting WDW when there's a holiday in which many, many schools across
the nation are on break, that would be good...

Easter is early April. The first two weeks will be
jammed packed.
