2006 American Holidays List

[Tink78]

Hi

Can anyone provide me with a list of all American Holidays next year that might affect the crowd levels at WDW?

i.e. school breaks, thanksgiving, easter, etc.

Many thanks

I can't be sure that the holidays are the same for schools throughout the country, but these are the holidays typical for schools in NY...

February: 20-24 (President's Day/winter recess)

April: 13-21 (Spring Vacation)

May: 29-30 (Memorial Day...makes for a 4 day weekend, good for a trip to WDW)

School's out the end of June. Families with no kids in HS would have summer starting around June 14th.

Thanks for the info.

Typical American holidays for any year are:

President's Day - third Monday in February
Easter is the same as the rest of the world, as far as I know (some businesses close Good Friday but that's about all the time off - I'm including it because families will take vacation because schools are closed)
Memorial Day - last Monday in May
July 4th - always on July 4th
Labor Day - first Monday in September
Thanksgiving - fourth Thursday in November - most American companies give employees that Friday off as well. And that's dubbed Black Friday because everyone goes shopping, usually starting around 5:00 AM.

These are the normal business holidays. There are other government holidays that some companies will close for (and the US government, obviously). Those are:

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day - third Monday in January
Columbus Day - second Monday in October
Veterans Day - November 11

I've never worked at a company that closed for those holidays.

Spring breaks and other school breaks are wide spread depending on each individual school system.
