We're fortunate as the UK school holidays (which we're tied to) are off-set by a week from the main Easter break next year, so will do Disney first to hit a lower season.
However, where should we go for the week that runs up to the Easter weekend? We spent that week in Clearwater last year and it was absolutely rammed with those from the North and also spring-breakers. 1hr waits for tables in basic restaurants became the norm, etc.
(please help educate me here - does spring break sit across the easter weekend each year?)
So, is there somewhere with a nice beach but that's also quieter we could look at in Florida, or do we need to cast our net a bit wider? Would be willing to consider bundling with 4 or 5 nights in a city, but don't really want to have to lug winter clothes over with us!
Many thanks
Spring break varies from School to school, state to state and even county to county in the US. Florida is a popular destination for the 2-3 weeks before and after Easter because that will be the times of the various spring breaks.
Lots of places in the States will be warm that time of year so no need to bring winter clothes. If you want to forgo the beach then give an idea of what you are interested in.
Otherwise you could look at going somewhere less spring break oriented like Naples, or some of the smaller less developed places along the Gulf of Mexico in Florida.
