Spring break

Does anyone know when Spring Break ends? Was thinking about going to DCA tomorrow and just looked at wait times and it’s currently a 2.5 hour wait for Radiator Racers. That’s insane

It's different for every school district, and it's a big destination for families from AZ, UT, NM, WA etc as well as California. Basically "spring break" now encompasses most of March and April. Historically, almost the busiest days of the year occur the week following Easter, this year April 14th. So you're pretty much going to be hitting the crowds any time from now until after April 21st.

Spring Break varies by school/location. Many colleges are on break right now, public schools should be starting break soon through most of April.

My birthday is next week but we are celebrating my birthday trip the last weekend in April for this exact reason.

Ours start next week. So basically from this Friday the 29 until Monday the 8. Some schools around here are the third week in April on the week before Easter.
SO i say it will get much busier.

We live 22 minutes (no traffic) from DL and our break is next week. The "southern California only" special tickets they're selling right now aren't good for April 14-22 so I'm guessing DL anticipates it's busiest Spring break week to be that one.

A lot of Canadians are also on Spring break right now.. that will carry through until next month (some schools have 2 weeks, others have 1 week) Some schools take theirs at the end of April instead. But where I am, pretty much everyone I know is on spring break right now. And I know 2 families who are at Disney on spring break

Our break is the week after Easter (22-26). We are hoping for a quick trip down there and hope not TOO many others are on break. Schedule shows open until midnight for DL all week, though, so they're expecting crowds!

So my brother and I ended up going to DCA yesterday despite being Spring Break and we actually still had a great time! We arrived at 8:00 and stayed until about 6:00 and were able to go on 8 rides. The longest we waited was 40 mins for RSR WITH a Fastpass, which was annoying but better than waiting 2 hrs lol. Everything we went on we used Fastpasses for. We also got a Sip and Savor Pass and ate lots of yummy food.

It’s 8:50am and the app is showing no more FP for RSR. That’s crazy. Spring break, I guess!!!???

Edit: ok. Seeing 2:20 now. Must have been a temporary stop for some reason

Omg no way?? That’s crazy! I’m not sure what time they ran out yesterday but we got our Fastpass around 8:15 and the return time wasn’t until 2:05. I know there was Magic Morning yesterday too so that made it worse

I'm still showing FPs for 1:35-2:35

ETA: actually wait times are really reasonable right now, even standby, mostly

On Tuesday of this week, a CM in Tomorrowland told me that spring break lasts until the end of April.
