How busy will it be on... ?

Now, when everybody's asking about how crowded and busy the park is, when they arrive, i'd rather do the same :-)

I'm going 8th to 12th of May. Does anyone know, how it'll be at that time?

May 8th is a national holiday in France, Le jour de la libération (Liberation Day)

Further on, most countries in Europe 'celebrate' the two days of Pentecost (on Sunday 11th and the subsequent Monday) in this weekend.

So I expect it will be busy 8 - 12 may...

The Monday is a holiday in much of Europe. The day is known as Whit Monday in England, Wales, and Ireland, and is also celebrated in Iceland, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, parts of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Hungary.

Since 1967, however, Whit Monday has not been a public holiday in the United Kingdom; the holiday has been moved to the fixed date of the last Monday in May, which sometimes but by no means always coincides with Whit Monday.

Whit Monday also ceased to be a statutory holiday in France in 2005, where the abolishment led to strong protests.

Maybe someone has visited Disney before may 8yh and/or in the weekend of Pentecost (Pinksteren) :?:

Lozzie · February 12, 2008, 09:42:02 AM

Yeah! Im going 13th April and im hoping there arent any school holidays. Because Easter is in March this year isnt it? I tried checking online for School Holidays, but their all different!

GeoffD · February 12, 2008, 10:13:59 AM

UK holidays generally end around 8th April

pjulie75 · February 12, 2008, 08:47:37 PM

In Scotland the kids are off from 7-18 April inclusive, I think that week will be quite busy :?

treble · February 13, 2008, 09:24:31 AM

uk school holidays are all wierd this year because easter is so early. most schools are only taking off easter monday and then having 2 weeks in april. this in turn puts all the other holidays out. however if you live in nottinghamshire, as we do, the easter 2 weeks are at the end of march. our kids are off this week most of the uk was off last week. only problem is it will make the summer term 7-8 weeks long :?
what about the rest of europe? what school holidays do they have?
