    How can I find out crowd size for dates we are considering? Unfortunately, our school break offer these choices: Feb 14 -21 or April 11 - 18. Feb break is around president's day; while April coincides w/Easter. What's our best option? Thanks for helping!

    Hello fellow New Yorker!

    Those are our school vacation weeks as well. Every year we are faced with the February vs. April decision. And every year we decide on February. Here's why:

    - The crowds are on the thick side in February (we ALWAYS run into people we know from NY in the WDW parks), but the April crowds are worse.
    - I need to get out of the snow in February. At home in April, there are usually at least a few days that are nice enough to send the kids outside, make a trip to the zoo, or plan some other fun outing. In February at home there is either white snow or brown snow and the kids end up fighting in the house. Getting into the Florida sun at that time of year is heaven.

    Hope this helps you think about your decision.
