What week in march does it starting getting busy for spring break?

[poteat_3177]

My husband and I are planning a two week vacation for March 2011! It will be a one week cruise out of tampa and then one week a AKL at disney! So excited that we have finally decided on our vacation (this will be our last one before we start to have kids)! Anyways, I'm pretty sure we will be doing the cruise the week of march 20th, and was wondering which week would be less busy to do disney, the week before or the week after (I'm thinking the week before).

I wouldn't think the second week in march would already be bad. BUT I'm really wanting to do the cruise first then go to disney. and we need one week of this vacation to fall on springbreak so my step-son can stay with his grandparents for one week so he doesn't miss school, then they will come stay at our house one week. (he is not coming with us, this is an adult only trip) and I really don't want to do disney the week of march 20th because I know it'll be crazy then. I don't know how bad it'll be the last week of march if we do the cruise on march 20 and did disney after.

Just curious for any advice or tips from regular disney visitors for the month of march.

In 2011 Easter falls on April 24th, so most grade schools will be on 'spring break' around then. Unless they have a mid winter break, which here falls in the middle of March most of the time around here and isn't that long. But college age kids usually have a much earlier spring break. I'm not sure when those happen though, I haven't been in college for a little bit.
