thanks for that Steve - I forget that I can actually look things up myself, when I am so used to asking here on the Dis!!!

I assume the french children spend longer days at school, as they sure seem to have a lot of holiday!!!

When I went on my french exchange (years ago) my french partner started school at 7am and finished at 6pm so they have longer days than most children in school.

Im sure the French school holidays start at the beginning of July along with other various countries.

I think they do as well. I am hoping that the UK is the only Country that has a May half term so it will be nice and quiet for when i visit.

I think it will be quite busy when you are there

as ( most of ) the UK break up on Fri 17th July !

Scotland before that, and rest of europe too i think?!

however,we have been in school hols ( aug ) and with careful use of EMH and fastpass it wasn't the nightmare i was expecting!

Remember that there are lots of holiday links in The Very Useful Info sticky

I was already expecting half of the UK there, as this is the first time that we've had to go in school holidays as my son just started in reception class in January!

I was just kinda hoping no one else had broken up then too - oh well, I prefer knowing as at least I can be prepared for the queues!!
