    Default Schools starting session

    Just curious when schools in different areas start. Schools for us start September 8. Currently have reservations for Aug 22 - 29 but wondering if I should delay it a week, although free dining starts on the 28th so not sure if that will draw a big crowd.

    Most schools in Texas start the last week of Aug.

    Though with Football, Cheerleader, Dance team and Marching band practice all starting in the first or second week of August many Texas families with 14 - 18 year old children will have taken their vacations in July.

    We start 8/24 and I live in West Central Florida. Most Florida schools probably go back around the same time.

    Maybe I should stick with the week I have then! I know it will be HOT and crowded but maybe not as crowded as free dining (I have a bounceback so already have free dining).

    Believe it or not, schools in our county (mid-Georgia) start on August 3. DW, who is a teacher, has to go back to work on July 27. Summer vacation for her barely lasts 8 weeks.

    When our kids were in high school, we would go WDW the last week in August. Still quite hot and humid but not as crowded.

    It seemed that the parks were filled with folks from the northeast who didn't start school until after Labor Day.

    We went in late August once. The later, the better. Crowds get lighter as the month comes to a close. I think your dates are fine, though it will be HOT. But you know that.

    NC schools start August 25th or the Monday nearest August 25th.
    SC schools start August 17th (or so).

    Most schools in the South East start in Mid August.

    I work in a school in CT. Staff return on 8/25 and kids on 8/27 this year. We've never started before the week before Labor Day in my district, so I booked a trip to the World before the calendar was released....I got really lucky because we come back 8/24...just means I'll be a little tired that first in-service day. I think some other schools in the area start 8/31.


    NEXT TRIP -
