I belive for some schools in Florida it finishes at the end of May. They start in August again. I know that's the case with relatives of ours that live in Clermont.
In Ontario our kids are in school from Labour day until the end of the last week in June.
I'm not sure how busy it will be, sorry!

It will be starting to get busy in the beginning of June, but it won't be as bad as July! The crowds should gradually build throughout the month of June.

We did 19th June - 4th July last year and there was a huge difference between the first week and the second week. Magic Kingdom became virtually impossible in the days leading up to 4th July. We got round it by making an early start and leaving by lunchtime. The earlier week of the holiday, crowds were moderate, but managable. I wouldnt have though you would have too much trouble in early June. Be prepared for the worst by finding out Early Entry days (avoid unless you are an onsite guest) and go all out for early starts. Dont be too ambitious...the parks wont go anywhere...dont be afraid to LEAVE if its too hot / too busy and return later in the evening or another day!!Sometimes moving to a different park is a good strategy...Epcot is a great choice for the afternoon. It never seems busy at that time, even in peak periods.

Its easy to get up at the crack of dawn in the early part of the holiday due to the time difference. Aim to blitz your "must do" attractions then, leaving the other stuff (parades, shows, shopping etc) till later in holiday.

Have fun!

Quite a few school systems get out in early June (particularly those in the "good weather" states). Here in the Northeast, we rarely get out before the third week in June...this year we get out June 17th if no more snow days!

NYC public schools get out on June 25. My cousins in SC get out the end of May.
