March - any good weeks?

[threeboysmom]

Hi! My family of 5 was planning on heading to Orlando in May (as usual), but my DH just sprung it on my tonight "how about March instead?" Well, I'm all for moving up our vacation!! It would sure make my countdown timer look better than it is right now! But I'm worried about what the crowds would be like due to spring break. Is it really crowded all 4 weeks of March? When do the Florida schools have their spring vacation? Also, what would the weather be like in March? I usually like it warm, but not too hot.

Thanks!

I heard that the local schools there are out march 15-19.
I would think that the earlier in the month the better for less crowds. I am going March 5th-14th, and most people say that shouldn't be too bad. I hope the weather is warmer than our last two trips. We have had low crowds but cold weather, this time I will take a few more people (gulp! I am spoiled) for warmer weather!

I have read that the first week or two of March is moderately slow, so we are going to try a trip to the world during that time this year. Based on the park hours as currently posted (they appear quite restricted), it looks like Disney expects it to be slow then as well. President's Week is also quite early this year, so we are hoping that most of these holiday travelers will be gone by the first week in March.

Disclaimer: These are merely our educated guesses, have never tried early March before.

The weather can be found on weather.com (will give avergae highs and lows for each day in March). I believe the average highs were in the mid to upper 70's.

Have fun!
