 Spring Break Dates 

Hi

Does anyone know when Spring Break starts in Florida? We are in Orlando 21st March to 28th then move onto Clearwater area for a week. Not that is makes a difference to our trip, but wondered if the parks will be more busy or will the busy week be our 2nd week in Clearwater/St Petes?

Spring Break is not one particular week--each school district (and there are hundreds within each state) decides their own dates. That should be a period of quite a few, but not totally unmanageable. Easter week (after) is always the 2nd busiest at Disney, after Christmas.

Thanks everyone - just have to see how busy Universal is!!

Anyone know if you can purchase/upgrade to Fast pass tickets and how much it might be for Universal. I have already pre-purchased my "normal" tickets with floridatix.com

The Express pass can be purchased directly from Universal Orlando, I would purchase via their website, www.universalorlando.com, if you can because they only sell a limited number each day at the gate...Express passes are limited in number overall.

We made the mistake of going to Universal last Spring break, it was heaving, but we don't get to parks at opening time ( I am on holiday!!!) so our own fault really.

We did try going later on one afternoon about 4pm - big mistake seemed like all the teenagers who don't get up until noon had the same idea lol.

So my advice is get up and get out!!!!
