Crowds are light throughout most of the month excluding the weekend before Memorial Day and the week following (although most of that week usually falls in June). Avoid Epcot on the weekends until the Flower and Garden Festival ends in mid May.
Plan your trip for the first 3 weeks of May for low crowds.
