dmccarty said:We have been to WDW a couple of times at Spring Break. The park's were mostly 9's and 10s during our trips. We would be at RD each morning hopefully at an EMH park. For the Spring Breaks we visited, EMH was two hours early and made a huge difference. We would get into the parks early and pretty much be done by lunch time.
Our kids were younger then and they would be tired by lunch time so we would head back to the resort of rest and pool time. By using EMH we would ride what we wanted, often multiple times, before most people were leaving the resorts.
On one trip we had other family visiting WDW at the same time. They had a miserable time because the wife would not get up early to get to the parks. She would get up late, do he hair and makeup, have breakfast and then get to the parks to wait in line. They did not have a great time.
We had a blast.
With teenagers I would be thinking about using the night EMH parks.
The worst part of a Spring Break WDW visit was the drive down. What is normally a 9-10 hour trip was 12 hours of he..ll. I95 was bumper to bumper and white knuckle driving the whole trip. NOT fun.

I agree. The drive down is the worst during spring break. That's the reason we don't like going during spring break. it's weird thanksgiving, christmas, and july 4th don't seem to be as bad. We go down 75.
To the OP, I agree with PP, since you know it's going to be busy, you're already one step ahead. Go for rope drop, stay until it gets to busy, go back to hotel and relax until time for dinner. The other thing is to try and get lunch early, at 11am, because once you get after 11:45, lunch is now double the time and temper.
