Around here, our kids get the Federal Holiday President's Day off as a long weekend. It is one of the Monday Holidays. Sometimes the kids get the Friday preceding Prez Day off as a Professional Day for the teachers. The students DO NOT get the entire week off.<BR><BR>Spring Break here is typically the last week of March.<BR><BR>The adjacent school system has been experimenting with a modified year-round school: 9 weeks of school, 2 week Fall break; 9 weeks of school, 2 week Christmas break; 9 weeks of school, 2 week Spring break; 9 weeks of school, 8 weeks out for the summer. Our school system has just adopted a 1 week break in the Fall in addition to the standard 1 week in the Spring.

Don't take your vacation in the spring, when the spring breaks take place. Simple!

Everyone should call it Spring Break, not Easter break.

Don't travel in the Spring.

xx - Well said, couldn't have said it better myself.

If school or summer are not considerations, and Disney is the destination of choice, there are various times in the Fall that are considered ideal to avoid the crowds. I think I've heard that virtually any week in October and the first 2 weeks after Thanksgiving are great times to avoid the crowds.
