When is Spring Break NEXT year? (2022)

[Toadlover]

We are booked for March 20-28th or maybe a bit more. When will Spring break be? I hope we can avoid that madness!

March 12th ish till April 17th ish.

Spring break varies depend on where you live. The earliest here is normally the first week in March and the lasts ones are in mid-April. Sorry but March 20 - 28 is in the middle of the March Break crowds as some areas will have break that week.

Spring break is a season, not a week or two. It is compounded by snowbird season.

Spring break season starts in early March and goes on until after Easter.

If you want to come, the first week in March is your best bet. Or in come in May.

That week in March will be a peak spring break time.

Much of the country bases their spring break on the end of the third academic quarter. That is typically the second, third, or fourth week of March.

Other parts of the country base it on Easter, either the week before or the week after. Easter in 2022 is April 17, so that is quite late. But that will now coincide with the spring breaks from the Northeast states, which are often the second or third week in April.

Bottom line, spring break crowds ebb and flow from early March to late April, and you are going at one of the heavier weeks. Still better than Christmas, though!

Right in the midst of it all! But you may luck out as our school district(3rd largest in the nation) usually goes for spring break the week before Easter and next year Easter is the 3rd weekend of the month versus the 1st.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

That's unfortunate because we specifically picked the 20th through the 28th+ because three of us have birthdays on the 26th, 27th and 28th of March.

I found this on Youtube. Anybody have any strategies of how to navigate Spring break crowds? Or will it not matter because capacity is capacity?

No one knows what it will be like a year from now, because of the hopeful gradual lifting of capacity and other limitations. I do think park reservations are here to stay, though.

Keep reading here as things unfold. Come up with a good plan, and then just have fun!

Not sure if you are asking in the context of covid or just want general ideas of how to make the best of your trip. As mentioned above, no one knows how the whole covid situation will look a year from now. Disney has temporarily eliminated FastPass and you need a daily park reservation to enter. No one knows if things like masks/social distancing/etc. will still be in place next year. Spring Break is not a specific week and Disney tends to be a draw no matter what time of year.

No amount of advance planning will do anything to reduce the number of other people who happen to be there. If you already have reservations, I would just go and plan to do the rides/shows/experiences your family enjoys most.

Some families want to plan every minute of their day while others just enjoy being on vacation. That is an individual thing for which there is no right/wrong way to visit Disney.

You're smack dab in the middle of the madness.

Happy to see the dates listed. Here in MA our April Vacation week next year is 18-22nd. Easter falls late on April 17th. We are booked April 19-26th; hoping after Easter the crowds will be lower.

Crowds During Spring Break

Where I am most schools do the week after Easter.

Crowds During Spring Break

Again, that is 2021.

2022 will likely be very different in many ways. Hopefully, capacity limits are raised or eliminated, shows are open, fastpasses are available (in some form), social distancing in the queues is no longer a thing, and more. Yes, it will be crowded, because it will be a peak spring break week, and there is so much pent up demand for travel that I think will carry well into next year. It's also still the 50th anniversary celebration. But once the current policies and offerings are known, it will be easier to plan.

I know it's fun to plan, but honestly to develop "strategies" at this point with so many unknowns for a year from now is pretty much wasted energy.

Keep following this board, which will have the best info on the internet. Hope you have a great trip!

That exact week is ours-we are on the West coast.

I think in all likelihood, you're looking at max spring break levels, Disney's 50th and a swell of re-opening crowds as DW rolls back mitigations. The timing of all that is in question of course, but I would expect to be at capacity, I always go in with/plan for the worst case scenario so I am prepared and then delighted in case it goes better than expected.

 

[Upatnoon]

I think that now the spring break season is the most-crowded of the year after Christmas.

One thing that makes it all a bit more bearable is the weather generally being cooler.

As to what the future will bring for Disney crowds, I think it will be busy with lots of pent-up demand for travel, but as others have pointed out, it's really impossible to know at this point.
