Spring is almost here, Easter arrives on Sunday, and with it all ends Spring Breaks at Disney World.

The question everyone wants to know is whether or not crowds will reduce in size. The good news is absolute! To put this into perspective, there is no way that it can't be reduced. By how much is another animal entirely?

Ride wait times will start to get a little more normal over the next week or two but normal is still 90 minutes in many cases. What you will notice is that you will not be bouncing into everyone while you are trying to navigate the crowds to get from one side to the other.

This year has been horrible for crowds. I was able to get to Disney World in early March and it was quite busy then without the heyday of spring breakers. In April, some schools around the country will also be hitting the break. It still makes me laugh that each state and each county for that matter have different spring break periods. Some go weeks before Easter, some end with the holiday and others start with it. And it seems they all converge at some point on Magic Kingdom.

I remember my one and only trip to EPCOT on Easter Sunday. I was shocked that the park was absolutely empty from around 9 am to 1 pm and then the crowd thickened. I have heard it hasn't been the same since.

Interestingly enough, Disney goers are almost at the end.
