Help with summer hol planning

[pigby]

Our school breaks up for summer hols early this year - wed 15th July. thinking of taking daughter out of school for last two days of term - monday and tuesday and going weekend of 11th july for 2 weeks. Hoping that parks won't be too crowded!!! and can take advantage of better flight availability as not ready to book just yet.

Alternatively can go week later and she'll not need time off school or last two in August (which we have been before - good for fewer crowds but clashes with Labor Day weekend again - mad!!) Also less availability these times - no weekend flights with Virgin left.

Never been at a time when parks are open really late either - this is an attraction - this is why I'm leaning towards mid July.

With these restrictions in mind - which would you choose? I have to book my holidays at work and I'm hogging the holiday list at the moment!!!

Go for the late opening, even if it means missing the last couple of days of term. We find the extended opening hours make a big difference to the pattern of our day, allowing a much more relaxing time.
