It depends on the location and whether it is public or private schools. It is usually anywhere between late May (usually the seniors get out first, late May-ish) and most other kids go into June. My kids don't get out until June 20th!!!!!!!! (It seems like it is later every year) It is so ridiculously late that most parents are not sending them on the 18-20 so they can leave for vacation. Private schools usually end 2 weeks prior to us.

Thank you everyone

what does break-up mean over there then? actually break-up means any number of the "school terms" they seem to have over here, sorry just naturally thought you would assume I was talking about the next school holiday that was coming.

Does anyone know when the Orlando, FL and surrounding areas get out for summer break?

I'm more concerned about the parks being full with the locals who have AP passes.

Osceola County is out May 21st and Orange county is out May 22. I think those are the two school districts closest to Disney.

Where I am, Miami, school is out May 30 and the specialized Zone schools in the district are out June 1.

Totally varies from school to school and state to state. Our school here in MA ends June 15th. Early for us this year as we only had 1 snow day to make up.

That is the same as here. Thanks!

I suppose no matter what time you go in June/July it will be crowded with all types of vacationers, but I plan on having a good time anyway! :banana:

That is just not fair. Every year around here (balto.) they let out later and start back earlier. We get out June 20 and go back August 27. No airconditioning in most of the schools either. It is insane. The kids don't even feel like they have had a break. The working parents love it, and I think are actually pushing for it. The working parents also don't like when the schools close for intense heat or snow, because it interferes with their jobs :sad2: They call the school system in droves complaining about it. When I was a kid we had off from the Fri. before Memorial day unil the Tues after Labor Day with out fail.

we have friends in the Ft Lauderdale area, they finish before Memorial Day, and if I recall, the last time we visited during Memorial Day weekend we were told that the Orlando area was also out for the semester. Note that the "locals" with AP's will most likely have black-out dates, we usually worked around them and did fine both visits. One was the holiday weekend and the other was the last week of June, the crowds are managable.

I may be wrong, but I believe Florida APs are the same as any other APs, they just pay less for them. And APs have no black out dates. There are occasional black out dates for AP rates for resorts though, usually around Thanksgiving & Christmas.. never June as long as I've had them.

Here in NE PA the districts are letting out anywhere from June 8th - June 15th that I know of.
My daughter is getting out the 8th. The district I work for is getting out the 11th. A neighboring district is getting out the 15th! Ugh! Too many snow days this year.

There are three APs available for the 4 main parks for Residents - The Seasonal Annual, Annual and Premium annual. The season does indeed have black out dates, Summer (early June through Mid-August); Christmas and Spring Break. This pass is right about $200 and is what I get. The other two are the same as a non-resident can get, only cheaper.

Broward County (Fort Lauderdale) gets out May 30th

DS4's last day of pre-school is June 19. He starts Kindergarten probably on or about September 5.

Here in NY, full day classes should be ending in about 2-3 weeks. After that it's final exam week where they only go in to take their exam (at least for the middle and high schools).

We are in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, school was supposed to be out June 12, but they have to go 1/2 day June 13th because of snow days. The last 2 days are half days for Middle and High school finals. The elementary kids do nothing - it seems like such a waste!

Am i right in thinking these black out days are dates when AP's arent allowed to be used??? (sorry not from florida - unfortunately - so dont know what you get when you have AP's)

where can i find the dates of the black out days, so i can maybe go to the parks on those days (no disrespect to locals meant, id just like to get less crowds as possible :) )

Not all Resident APs have black outs and anyone who lives close close by probably doensn't have a seasonal. i'm 3 hours south so the seasonal works for me. I don't go when it's crowded, let alone hot and crowded. This year, for summer, they're blacked out June 9 to August 16 but each of the past 3 years Disney has lifted the end date early (last year by 2 weeks)

Here in Michigan school gets out June 15 and the go back the day after Labor Day (beginning of Sept.). We have several snow days built into our school calendar so we don't have to worry about making them up!

In Maryland it depends what county you are in. Anne Arundel County ends June 14th(for the elementary school I work atfor repairs) and June 15th for the rest of the students. June 3rd for graduating seniors. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO BE OVER AND IT TO BE SUMMER BECAUSE WE LEAVE FOR DISNEY ON THE 15TH OF JUNE :banana:

My girls (we live in Alabama) got out yesterday...May 24. In the fall, they will start back August 9th...later than last year's August 4th. :eek: I hate the kids starting back to school so soon because it is ssooo hot in the south! But, we also get a week off for fall break so that's when we are off to visit the mouse! :)
