Ours is the last week of March and the first week of April... but some districts get different weeks...and some get 3 weeks instead of 2 like ours.

**edit**

Sorry, I am in So. Ca. too! Our district is 2 weeks and the district right next to ours is 3 weeks.

It will probably vary depending on the district. You also have to take in to account all the states around it!

Here where we live in Nevada it's the last week of March.

Our spring break is April 7 - 10.

I am in Orange County near Disneyland.

Every school district in Calif. is different. (There are 100's) Some take the week before Easter, some take the week after and some take both!! Some take their spring break weeks after Easter, which would be in April. It looks like Disneyland expects the busiest time the weeks before and after Easter. Colleges tend to take their break sometime in March.

Basically DLR will be affected by Spring Break Crowds probably starting around the week of 3/11 and will be very busy the next three to four weeks after that. I would expect crowds to die down a bit around the week of 4/15. Maybe a little later.

Fabulous news! Thanks for the replies. We will be there April 12-16. I am assuming that it will be busy since there are other things going on besides spring breaks but I was just curious when the bulk of most spring breaks' take place!

I thought you were in Vegas with me???? I guess I was mistaken.

Anyhow, here in Las Vegas, ours is the week before Easter so 14-23. Some schools have 2 weeks so the week before and after Easter.

Oh how I wish, so much closer to DL, and not so darn cold in the winter! But no, were in Northern Nevada by Reno.

Ahhh, bummer!!! The drive from here is about all I can handle, I think I would have to fly if it was much longer than it is now!!

I would agree with that...and since the special Annual Passholder AP6 hotel rate starts on April 13, it sounds like DL expects crowds to drop way off in mid-April, too!

Two weeks for spring break?!?! Wow...don't let my kids know, or they will want to move to that school district!

We are off the week of April 7 through 11 for spring break this year. (Of course, we are also off this week for mid-winter break/ski week...so maybe that makes up for only getting one week at spring break?)

My girls are out from March 20th-April 14th. Well they go back on the 14th. that's about 3 weeks. I guess I need to figure out when we are going for that.

We get one week at mid-winter (this week) and another for spring break (April 7-11).

3 Weeks Wow. I wish. My school district didn't even get this whole week off. I go back to school tomorrow. And we only get one week in March off.

 

[mindylovesmickey]

I would say to plan from about March 11 until the second week in April will be pretty busy.

We get one week at mid-winter (this week) and another for spring break (April 7-11).

We get 3 weeks as well- but are on a year round schedule. Lots of Southern Cal schools are either year round, or a "modified traditional" now where they start mid August and have a week at Thanksgiving, 3 weeks at Christmas, and 2 weeks at Spring Break (which may, or may not, be anywhere near Easter!!).

We've never had a mid-winter break here that I know of! See, some perks in other places. Like I had never heard of getting the whole Thanksgiving week off either until recently, on traditional year schools.

I had never heard of getting the whole Thanksgiving week off either until recently, on traditional year schools.

Our district just started giving us the whole week off at Thanksgiving last school year. It used to just be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off, but parents kept taking their kids out on Monday and Tuesday since it was only two days. The district was losing so much in state ADA money they decided to just give the whole week off. The downside is that to make up the two days, we start the school week on the Thursday before the Monday we used to start. That can really mess with some summer camp schedules. But, it is nice to get that whole week at Thanksgiving.

Another good reference tool for determining potential busy periods is the blockout calendar for Disneyland APs. SoCal APs are blocked out from March 15-29. This year, Easter falls on March 23. As roxydotty posted above, DL is blocked out the week before and the week after Easter for SoCal APs. This is a good indication that DLR officials are anticipating their largest crowds for Spring Break during these two weeks.

With the OP planning their trip from April 12-16, it should be lighter crowd-wise by then. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!
