Spring Vacation Ideas

"Spring vacation" is time of year with great getaway choices as both snow and sun destinations are in season. Families with kids in school generally get an extended break in March or April. Typically this school break lasts ten days or more, and dates vary in different parts of the country. That's the reason you may find that blackout dates for discount fares to Florida extend for an entire month, mid-March to mid-April. On the plus side, not all families are crowding into Disney World during the exact same week.

Families with school-age kids might also get a four-day weekend at Easter in addition to ten days off during March. Alternatively, some schools take their spring vacation as a ten-day break around Easter weekend.
