Need Help Deciding - Presidents Day week or last week in March

[AdventurerKat]

I am desperately trying to pull off a week long trip to WDW as I have not had one longer than four days since Oct 2004. It seems like I get to go alot since we moved here, but I feel like I am always turning around and coming right home!

So I am trying to decide which would be better to plan this over - President's Day Week - my son (kindergartener) has the Monday off but I would need to take him out of school the rest of the week. I would think that after the holiday crowds clear out it might get kind of quiet again but that may be wishful thinking. Or go the last week of March, which my son has the whole week off for Spring Break and which also happens to contain my youngest son's birthday, who will turn three on that Monday (27th) but I know they count him as two as long as we start our trip before that date, which we would, so that would be our last "freebie" with him. I know it would probably be fairly busy then, but I don't know if much more than the President's Day week.

Which would you choose and why?

TIA.

We were in WDW this year for the Daytona 500 which is the same week as President's Week. In a word: CROWDED.
President's Week is busy not only with the east coast having off, but over 150,000 flock to Florida for the Daytona 500. We were not the only ones staying in Disney and going to the 500. When we left at 6AM on Sunday, there was a line at the Boardwalk to get our car. Lots of other people were also going.
Just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the heads up on the Daytona 500. Maybe I should ask this as a UG question and see what crowds they are showing.
