How do I go about finding out which weeks are spring breaks so I can avoid the crowds in Florida?|152388

We got caught up in that one year and ended up going out of our way to spend the night in Georgia on our way to Disney. We_d like to go in March, but really don_t want that to happen again.

most spring breaks are in march

also this site tells a lot of universities break schedules

You can go to a few college web sites or do a google search for _U Texas academic calendar_ or princeton or whatever. All of the colleges_ spring breaks are really only 1 of 3 possible weeks, so all it takes is a little research.

I know two of the popular ones for this year: It will be the second and third weeks of March.

The problem isn_t wholly local spring breaks. The problem is every school all over the country schedules their spring breaks independently. So they can do whatever they want, and they can change it every year. So there_s no way to answer your question, other than to tell you that historically, the first two weeks of March are usually still ok, but they last two weeks are busier.

Spring breaks are spread out across the country and some are even on the thee month on and a month off plan. Go to tripadvisor.com for a free site that will have experts to tell you the busiest times at WDW. Go to the Orlando forum and ask, someone there will be able to clue you in on the busiest days.

Just go to any high school web page and see when their spring break week is...college is always a week before that. I_d say avoid the college spring break for sure, but lots of high schoolers come too, so I_d just avoid both those weeks all together. Unfortunately, I can_t avoid it...I live in Orlando. Argh. Stinkin spring breakers...always trashing the beaches and driving like idiots.

Go to the Disney web site and look under calendar. They do have dates listed high and low attendance. The first two weeks of March should be fine.

My son_s college break starts 3/14 and my daughter_s high school break in one week later. Most breaks are the last two weeks in March

Check with Florida_s Visitor Buearu as they can tell you approximately when they have to be prepared for Spring Breakers. Since colleges and universities vary as to spring break dates it is ususally in March but can extend to April.

As a general rule, the spring break crowds usually start arriving at the beginning of March (sometimes a week earlier if Easter is in March) and are here until the week after Easter.

If I_m not mistaken I alson think that Bike Week is in March in addition to spring break. I was going on a cruise in March 2005 and needed a room for one night. It was difficult to find because there was the Bike Week people there.

I don_t have the exact answer to your question, however, I did a little research and found the 23rd of March up to and including the 1st of April is a good time to go. The crowds will be moderate. The days before and after that time will be more crowded (especially so in April).

call the chamber of commerce or the office of tourism in the city that you are going to visit and ask them what their expectations are. They_ll know because of the number of advance bookings.

Perhaps you could contact the Chamber of Commerce of the town(s) you want to visit for suggestions.

It might be best to call a travel agent for that information. Since alot of schools go different times, they would probably know best. Have fun!

Well, im from florida, and if it_s warm, there will be tons of people.

Looks like you_re out of luck.
