School/College holidays

[hyte1]

Can anyone tell me the rough dates of the College/School holidays in Florida. Im thinking of booking a visit there 24th Sep - 7th Oct. The last time we went we hit the College Spring break and the whole place was extreamly busy and the queue for rides much longer.

Thanks

Chris.

I don't know the dates of school holidays but I do know that the time frame you are quoting is usually quiet.

Chris, I don't know the dates of US school holidays either but we usually go in late Sept/early Oct as it always lovely and quiet then, and the weather is usually fantastic. It's one of our favourite times to go [msnsmile]

Snap, along with May it is our favourite time too. Although anytime is great to go to Florida[8D]

Hi Chris! That early in the school year you shouldn't have many if any school breaks. We do get a day or two for the Jewish Holidays and Columbus day- other than that it should be very quiet those two weeks.

Thanks for your replies! We have booked it.
