Does Orange County Schools REALLY need Friday and Monday off? Here I was thinking Friday may be a little bit less crowded! Doh! Oh well, I am still going to enjoy my first trip in a over a year!
It's a HOLIDAY!! Get over it. In America we celebrate some awesome presidents birthdays!!!! - SUUZinOC

I was just observing the differences in the calendars. In Alaska (and every other place I have lived) we have "Presidents' Day" and there is only ONE holiday instead of two. - AKMouse 376.5 #363 2:04PM
For the sake of sarcastic clarification, Alaska is in America as well. - AKMouse 376.5 #363 2:07PM
its all the budget cuts and such. - SammyJo 348.7 #414 2:32PM
Well some schools have all of next week off!!! - Kittymeowmeow 271.3 #810 2:48PM
Schools are closed cause I bought a bunch of things on credit and I can't pay the bills.... - Mickeyimhidingtoo

No complaining no politics in the lounge. And no soup for you. - splashphotoCM

Ah man! I was really wanting to try the soup at Jolly Holiday this trip. I shall hang my head in shame. - AKMouse 376.5 #363 3:09PM
There was supposed to be an lol in there. LOL - splashphotoCM 880.9 #100 3:46PM
Again: I didn't intend a political discussion. Please adhere to the rules of the Lounge or I will just delete the post. I was just pointing out an observation and sharing in my planning for this week's trip. - AKMouse

no. - DznyFan4ever 371.8 #370 3:45PM
No biggie, there's been worse. - splashphotoCM 880.9 #100 3:46PM
Ill take a presidents day over columbus day. That is the biggest waste of a holiday. If we didn have it off work no one would even recognize it!
The dude got lost and killed a ton of natives with diseases and war who was forced out of europe. Ill take celebrating lincolns and washingtons bday in america then columbus! - timewithoutthee

More reason to keep the kids in school! Teach them how to do something that the state can export! - AKMouse 376.5 #363 1:38PM
The days off this week have nothing to do with the state budget. School's usually take 2 days off for the President's Day holiday. Some take Fri and Mon, others take 2 Mondays. - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 2:00PM
I work in a nearby school district and we have today and next monday off. - Plumiegirl 3322.0 #10 2:54PM
when did you change your username and what does it mean, MW poster formerly known as BCc??? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1772.5 #42 3:37PM
Schools in the San Diego unified district are also closed on Friday. They started this last year. Way of cutting back on costs. - Lelundrial

That is really unfortunate. Not because of crowds (that stinks too) but I feel for our children who are missing out on education because of the economy. - AKMouse 376.5 #363 1:49PM
This year I am on disability leave so it isn't a problem. But last year, we only get the Monday and I had no one to watch my son. So had to use up some leave because of the extra day. - Lelundrial 339.6 #430 3:08PM
I didn't intend a political discussion. I just always make a habit of checking the local schools to estimate crowds. I am not a CA resident. We are coming down from Alaska for our trip this week. - AKMouse

When do you get here? How long you staying? I really wanted to meet you. I used to like in AK and I miss it tons. - Deltachiq 968.9 #90 1:56PM
We are going to be there Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. I think we are planning an in park RAK for both Friday and Saturday. Thursday night is going to be just the adults in the park and grandma is watchin' the kiddos at the hotel. - AKMouse 376.5 #363 1:59PM
Well at least you have Thursday. I love Alaska. I want to move there. - Lelundrial 339.6 #430 3:06PM
We are REALLY looking forward to Thursday night! I will be in the parks with my siblings and all our spouses. We hope to get in all the rides the little ones aren't tall enough for yet. - AKMouse 376.5 #363 3:29PM
Not all OC schools have Friday off. I work in an OC district and have today and next Monday off. School's always take 2 days off. - LilSterner

I hope not. And the is why I love my girl she seen the humor in the OP not that it was a political discussion, c'mon people. - Art2D2 202.3 #1591 3:42PM
In Oregon, my part anyway, we did not have today off, nor do we have Friday off...we do however have next Monday off. We used to have Lincoln's birthday off and Presidents day but it changed to just the one a few years ago. - cdeley

When I was in school we only had the one day, plus we only had 2 days for Thanksgiving. Now they get a four day weekend and a full week for Thanksgiving. - Lelundrial 339.6 #430 3:06PM
Yeah it has to be just a California thing. If it was days off for the Holiday I think most places would be pretty consistant on the 2 days off, but I live in Oregon and I have never had two days off for Presidents day. - Disneymom0107 143.9 #2381 3:40PM
I didn't even realize schools have both says off. My hubby and I are going for our date night Friday, I'm bummed it will be crowded! - Melliott

I feel like there is no such thing as "off-season" anymore. - ilovemickey8

It is because of furlow days that unions and city reps agreed on so they didnt have to lay off people. It is a good thing in a bad situation... - timewithoutthee
24.6 #4679 3:56PM
YEAH FOUR DAY WEEKEND!! my goal was to go to disneyland all 4 days, but then i realized we have to paint our winter percussion floor on monday, so my dreams are crushed. sorry, our school district is broke so we have a crazy amount of furlough days this year - acpowers13
