March crowds poll

[RobnRud]

Didn't I see a poll about when Spring Break was for everyone for 2009. I've got ressies for Mar 9-13 but am thinking of changing to Mar 28-Apr 3rd, if the crowds are that different (then my kid wouldn't miss any school)
I've already seen the link to Spring breaks for colleges and universities.
Any help with a link...or am I crazy thinking I've seen it??
Thanks
Robin

Don't know the link, but our spring break here in Birmingham is March 16-20.

I was wondering the same thing. We have ressies March 8th-14th, and am
concerned that it may be a very busy time due to spring breaks. I know a few local colleges around us have spring break the following week. Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I changed our vacation to the very last few days of March. I'm hoping we miss most of the march break crowds and we've never been there in March anyways.. should be interesting! It could definitely be hit or miss, but I'm thinking crowds will be fine, especially right before the Easter rush.

My university breaks the first week in March and we've been to WDW that week 8 of the last 10 years. Basically, the earlier in March you go, the lighter the crowds. I'd call the crowds 'Moderate', get to your early park at rope drop, use FastPass and you get all the major attraction without a problem. The weather at this time is usually great also.

Is there one for Colleges? Do you have a link?

Our trip is March 8th - 15th. From what I've read it shouldn't be too bad for crowds and weather. Easter is in mid April so we shouldn't have to worry about those crowds. We've never gone in March before so I guess we'll all have to hope for the best.

Thanks for the link, Lisa. Glad I'm not totally losing it. Looks like there's a little difference between the two weeks I'm looking at. I've never had a problem with pulling my kids (7,8,and 9) out of school for 4 days, but if it's not going to be a huge crowd difference if we wait til Mar 28- Apr 3rd then maybe we should wait for their Spring Break. I have BCV (very excited to get it at 5 months out) so I feel like I'll be pushing my luck to try to get it again for the new week!!!
Oh, such problems

We are going the third week in March. In our area of Ontario (and probably the whole province) this is our March break. We have been few times on the March break and it is very busy. Flights are very packed, especially if some nasty winter weather arrives. This will be the first time for us flying as we always drove in the past. Last time we drove home we met travellers who had rented cars because their flights were cancelled and they had to get home.....
