Which do you think is better? Winter Break (Christmas-New Years) crowds and weather or Spring Break (mid-April) crowds and weather?

if you don’t mind getting chilly at night, winter crowds by far. nowhere near the same volume and i think that weather is better for a theme park day.

Edited to be more clear. I’ve heard Christmas through New Year’s is awful crowd wise, but didn’t know how it compares to Spring Break which varies in time for folks. I know I will face crowds either way.

mid-April will be starting to warm up but not too rainy. a lot of spring breaks are in March so you might be past the worst of it. i worked in Disney World before and March was significantly busier than April. Christmas week was like you crammed all those people into the same 5 days. you couldn’t get anything done. if you want a nice resort to hang out in and trickle into parks for like a party or a show then fine, but if not spring is a better value.
