Is it better to go to Disney in April or May?

Is April a good time to go to Disney World? If you can avoid Easter week and the preceding weeks, then April is a great time to visit. The weather is great, Flower & Garden Festival is beautiful, and post-Easter crowds aren't awful. If your schedule is flexible, I'd push into early May, but late April is good, too.
