Help me pick my dates

Hi! We are planning a trip for spring/Summer of 2019. Trying to decide between March 24-30 (our kids spring break) or June 1-7. I know spring break is supposed to be so busy but wasn’t sure about Summer crowds. We would be doing a split stay between a few days onsite and the rest offsite so taking midday breaks would be more difficult. We’ve been before in October, early December, and January so always were fortunate with manageable crowd levels. I guess I’m trying to decide between the heat of June and crowds of March. Thanks in advance for any input!

June will have less crowds. The heat shouldn’t be too awful then either. I’d avoid any Spring Break crowds if possible.

The thing with Spring Break is it's all over the place. The only weeks that are super crowded during Spring Break season are the weeks surrounding Easter. Your dates are a full month before Easter next year. Personally, I'd chance the possible higher crowds for better weather. The difference in crowd levels of the two weeks will be minimal and the cooler weather will make any difference much more manageable.

According to the TP crowd calendar, both weeks are similar. Go when you prefer to go. If you want to do water parks, I'd go in June. If you want a little cooler, go in March. What are airfares like for both?

Thanks. We’d most likely be driving so flights shouldn’t be an issue.
