Uhh, Andy, did you even bother to read Linda's post? Her family's spring break is the week of April 14.

Uh Andy? Where do you get that Spring Break happens mid Feb?? I like to know what schools. Linda, you can plan on the entire month of March till about Easter but I am told that the heaviest time is the first 2 weeks of MARCH. <BR><BR>It should be warm enough to swim but use weather.com to look at your specific week.<BR><BR>The beaches are ok, some are better than others. We have always liked Fort Zac Tayor beach.

The week of April 14th is the week before Easter and Key West will be packed.

Personally, I would not want to be anywhere in Florida the week before Easter. Everything is packed and there is no escaping the hordes of parents and kids.

Thanks, you are probably right.......

Linda, We have always had to go to Florida for spring break from washington state to visit the Outlaws and yes it was busy but it was so much fun. If you can stand the prices just go and have fun. I would go to the Keys in a heart beat.

The Keys get the College kids and they usually have their break in March. The highschools and grade schools seem to take their break around Easter and are not too interested in the Keys.....But I wouldn't want to be at Disney at that time.
