We have pulled our 2 boys out of school for our last 2 trips, Oct. 2008 & April 2010. This year, our oldest missed a week of Jr. College (he's a great student) and our youngest missed a week of 4th grade (he's a struggling student). In future trips, we will probably not go during the whole week, but maybe try to coordinate it when they have a couple days off school already. We enjoy Disney so much more with better weather and lower crowds!! But to avoid issues with school as time goes on, we may have to (gulp!) go during our Spring Break.
