Busier mornings or evenings?

[Wizz]

We’re visiting at Easter and our plan has been to do early mornings to try and avoid crowds with a couple of late nights to do fireworks.
Someone on a FB page I’m on has suggested evenings could actually be quieter and we may be better to do lazy mornings and arrive later.
Any thoughts/experiences?
And yes I know Easter will be insanely busy anyway, just trying to maximise time.

Not been at Easter but first week we always hit the park early, second /third week we hit the parks later (this is in August) we do it this way cos of getting used to the time difference

We went last Easter. We stayed offsite so made sure we didn’t do parks that had the extra magic hours. The first week we were at the parks for opening ( as were awake v early due to time difference) went on as many rides as possible. Parks got really busy from 10/11am. We then used our fast passes and left late afternoon. The second week we went to parks mid afternoon using fast passes and stayed for fireworks. It was busy but managed to get on everything even flight of passage ( twice)

We went Easter earlier this year and must admit that mornings were better for us than afternoons.

We did a one night stay at a Disney hotel, so also got 2 x morning EMH's which worked very well for SDD at HS and allowed us to enjoy a more or less empty AK for the first hour as everyone ran left to ride FOP and we just ventured right towards Dinoland USA.

Towards the end of our second week we did have more lazy mornings and arrived at parks about 2pm and it was absolutely manic. Thankfully we did have FP's but those were the only rides we managed to do.

I’ve never found evenings to be quieter. People are on holiday so less likely to get up at stupid o’ clock unless you come from the east and are jet lagged. We like to take advantage of that and start early while the park is quieter.

Thanks for all the replies. Will probably stick with our original plan

The only park we found quieter in an evening was AK, the other Disney parks were either as busy or busier. This is in summer though, have never been at Easter.

Proving that much FB advice is codswallop. Easter or not. The first 90 minutes of any park will be the quietest. So at a busy time like Easter even more so. In the days MK stayed open until 1am the last hour was good but that was some time ago now.
