Impossible to say. Just depends where the pandemic is.
I'm booked for a spring break cruise, and I'll report back afterwards. I was thrilled to get to book it via a relatively cheap GT rate, which in a normal year would never be available for this cruise. I booked it just before New Year's, and I noticed today that some GT rates are still available for that cruise. That's an indication that bookings are low. Our cruise Facebook group has also lost its original leader and I've noticed several members signing off, although new people are added all the time.
Wow, that's nice! We only ever got the Monday off, our kids too.
Me too 1962-1975. But about 2000 they started taking the whole week off here. I was on the Little League Board when that happened and some parents were mad because coaches were doing practices that week. We didn't prohibit practices, but advised coaches that they could not penalize players who were out of town on vacation that week. It is a HUGE week to go to Disneyland here.
It depends on what mandates and restrictions are in place. You just have to look at the crowds at WDW to see that people aren't afraid to travel.
"Spring" break here in the public schools is always the week before Easter, so some years March, some years April just depends when Easter is, and why here is is called Easter break. Catholic schools traditionally have taken the week after Easter.
Our spring break depends on when Passover falls in relation to Good Friday. If they are both in the same week, then that's the week they're off. If it's the following week, they're off that week plus Good Friday.
That makes sense and why we don’t get the whole week here in NJ.
The February break in New England has been around long before the ski-resorts were such a large business and most schools here never had a "traditional" March spring break. Historically, February break was intended to reduce illness, often occurring at a time that absences were peaking. It also saved on heating costs for one week during the long cold season, and in more modern times saves on bus fuel. It's typically scheduled half-way between New Years and April vacation, falling in mid- to late-February. April break was historically set for the agricultural needs of the region -- children were needed to help with spring planting.
Just to add to what you said. February break in Massachusetts is always President's Day holiday week for most schools and April vacation is Patriots Day (Massachusetts holiday) week. Patriots Day commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord, the start of the American Revolution.
Last week was mostly adults, this week there is way way way more kids.
