Celebrating a holiday or break from school at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, or Universal Orlando Resort might seem like a great idea, but there are plenty of others who are having the same exact idea.

As many school spring breaks are taking place this week, crowd levels at Universal Orlando have skyrocketed to levels that we haven’t seen since the holiday season with no expectation to drop anytime soon.
