Normally, I take my kids out of school for a DL trip to avoid super crowds. It appears that won't be an opption anymore cause my oldest will be finishing 6th/starting 7th for our text trip. I know to stay away from DL Chritmas to New Years. What about Easter break? Presidents weekend? any thoughts?
They won't be as busy as Christmas time but thousands of others have the same idea as you. How about getting the kids to "earn" a Disney Day by doing extra credit and get ahead in school. Have them get their assignments ahead of time so you can take them during school time. - MyPark

My son I'm not worried about, he starts kindergarden in the fall. I'll have to ask her teacher about getting homework early so she can get in turned in before we go. - GoofyMom77 108.5 #2920 10:46AM
As a teacher all I'm going to say is that it depends in the student. If you get the work ahead of time, make sure to get it done. It's not always easy to get all the work ready early and it can be frustrating for the student to not make an attempt at all. - LilSterner 2656.0 #17 11:42AM
Right? It is such a pain getting those packets together and then they don't even do them! 😂😂😂😂 - bluefairy 627.0 #174 1:52PM
Easter weekend this year was surprisingly not too busy. Easter falls in late March in 2013 - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

Yeah my son's spring break starts on March 29 because of that. - Lelundrial 339.6 #430 12:12PM
That's exactly where we are these days, too! LOL. I am hoping that we can make it down during Easter vacation in 2013. Keeping fingers crossed! - meridafan

My daughter is in 8th and I still take her out for one week every year so we can have a full week of DL :). She must keep her grades up all year and all her teachers have to okay it. She gets the work a week ahead of time and gets it done :). We always go Presidents weekend and then stay thru the following weekend.. The crowds aren't bad at all for a holiday, and the rest of the trip is wonderful! - hatgal76

It all depends on the teacher. Some teacher's actually give out the hw on a schedule so if your child can get ahead and earn the day do it. But sometimes the best time to go is right after state testing. Some classes have to do it while others don't but most stay on the scheduled for testing. So if your child doesn't have a test one day that is the best time to take them. - dnerd
