First weekend in May

[Moon Waffle]

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to the boards, but have been a visitor to VF for a long time.

My family and I are planning to be at the DLR the first weekend in May (specifically Friday - Sunday, the 5th, 6th, and 7th.)

We're very excited, but we've never before been on a weekend. We normally go around the end of March, but this is during the week.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what to expect as far as crowd size goes. My thoughts were initially that since we'll be there on a weekend during the 50th celebration, one would assume it will be very busy. However, we will be outside the "peak Spring break" time (the operating hours will be shorter), and before the "grad nites" start, so maybe this will keep crowds a bit smaller? Or maybe, it will just be similar to what we have experienced in the past when we've visited the last week in March (which is considered part of Spring break).

Enough said. We're looking forward to our trip, but appreciate any help we can get in anticipating the crowds.

Thanks ahead of time!
