Orlando weather question

[hinodis]

Is the weather better in mid march or mid April? We want to go before or after the Easter crowd. DH wants to go in March because it means we leave sooner and it is still really cold here. I want to go in April because I want warm weather.

Both are fine--but for me to swim in a pool, I would favor April. But someone from up north would be totally fine.

Our "cold fronts" where you have to wear pants and long sleeves in the daytime as occurred teh past two weekends, pretty much ease up by the end of February.

We are actively (and comfortably) in shorts anytime in March onward though I'd still pack a sweater for evenings.

Mid-March runs the risk of some slightly cooler weather. Probably not, but still a chance. We actually went last March (first weekend) and the weather was perfection. We did swim one day, but normally I like it warmer to swim.

I would probably choose mid-April, but really I'm all about crowds. Whichever one is supposed to be less crowded is when I'd go.

Better mid April.

Beware the Ides of March.

We went April 16-April 23 2008 thinking we were going to avoid Spring Break and the parks were packed. We assumed all breaks took place around Easter and that definitely wasn't the case. If we ever go in the spring again we will go earlier or toward mid-May.

This is an important point. Not all places have spring break during the same week or even 2 weeks. Some places always have spring break at Easter. This year I think mid-April would be less crowded than lid-March. It is just a guess though.

Many areas in the northeast have school vacation in mid-April. This year it's the week of 4/18 for us (and I think all of Massachusetts). We went that week in 2008 and it was extremely crowded.
