Pros
Reasons to visit in April
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run are both running with moderate crowds, so a rope-drop plan can realistically clear both before midday.
- Happily Ever After runs on comfortable April evenings without summer's oppressive humidity.
- Storybook Circus stays manageable for families with small kids, including Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station and Dumbo the Flying Elephant.
- Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade moves down Main Street U.S.A. in pleasant afternoon weather instead of blistering summer heat.
- The Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean queues in Adventureland move steadily thanks to moderate April attendance.
Cons
Things to watch out for
- Sunny, exposed queues in Tomorrowland and Frontierland get uncomfortably hot by early afternoon even with April's milder highs.
- Easter week pushes crowds up sharply and can make Fantasyland meet and greets like Princess Fairytale Hall crawl.
- Disney After Hours nights mean an earlier public park closing, cutting your evening ride time short if you don't have that ticket.
- Afternoon rain showers, while brief, can still shut down outdoor queues like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Attractions at Magic Kingdom
With moderate crowds this month, headliners like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run still build real waits by mid-morning, but Fantasyland classics and Adventureland's Jungle Cruise stay approachable most of the day.
