Hey all!

First post here and thanks to everyone for all the great information throughout the park. I'm a fairly poor student who lives in Madrid and I've found a good deal at Disney for March 31st (2014)- April 4th.I know it's about two weeks before the French holidays start and it is a good two or three weeks before the Spanish holidays start.

Am I missing any other holidays throughout Europe that might be important? Any ideas on how busy?

Also, I'm horribly scared that a load of things will be closed down for refurbishment in preparation for the Spring holidays. Anyone have any thoughts?

And lastly, does anyone have any clue as to when the Ratatouille ride will be released? I think that might just miss it which would be kind of lame.

Thanks for any and all help!!

I'm hoping it will be quiet (we're also going to be there on those dates) It should be, no school holidays yet. We've been in the past around those dates and it's always been fairly quiet.

I believe there's autumn holidays in the south of the Netherlands already but I doubt that will have a lot of influence :)

Ah, thanks! I wasn't sure about it, since October is Halloweenmonth in Disney.. But it would be more than perfect to be there just before the (inter)national holidays are starting!

Anyone know how busy it will be on March 31st to April 4th (2014)

I looked up the French holidays and it is before their holiday starts, also before Spain's. Am I missing any other holidays that might affect the crowd levels at the park?

Hi,

We are due to go May half term as we have the past 2 years, but just wondered how busy it is in August. May was just right, and in my head I imagine August to be really really busy. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

The parades will still be on, and Dreams has been announced will stay on daily until September 2014, so you'll get to see it too.

You may find some rides closed, true, there are usually lots of refurbs around then, and they won't get announced for quite some time yet. You can have a look in DLRP Magic at past years closures, to have an idea...

Good news is that usually the rides that are open have little queues... ;)

July and August are very busy, we've only been once and hopefully we'll never do it again... I don't remember any ride with less than 60 - 90 minutes queue (over 2 hours for some!) during most of the day

On the other hand the days are very long (you can be there from 8am to 11pm...), you can still get quite a few rides done in the morning (until 11 or so), and then in the evening (after 5 - 6 it gets quieter again...). With some planning and fastpasses you can get plenty done!

We have done August twice before and and as never2old says, if you plan it right then you can get rides done. Ride early in  the morning, when the parade and Dreams is on and use the fast pass. Eating early is a good idea too. (At 12:00pm and 6:00pm) So when the rest of the park decide to eat, you are refreshed and flying round BTM :)

Any ideas on how busy Sept 16-20th will be? I'm presuming most children will have gone back to school? Thanks :)
