This year’s spring break was a little wonky for the Walt Disney World Resort. With Easter coming so early this year, spring breakers flooded the Disney theme parks in March rather than the usual flood in April. This led to crowds peaking in mid-March and then dramatically declining later in the month. Thus far, April has seen unusually low crowds ...

A warning about crowds at the parks seems to have been entirely too successful, leading to a practically empty Disney World during peak season.

However, outside of additional crowds, there may be a few more reasons surrounding this, according to park visitors ...

The story of the summer has been the crowds at Walt Disney World. Or, to be more precise, the lack of crowds. Throughout the summer, Disney World has been described as a “ghost town” and “absolutely dead” on the Fourth of July weekend.
