Default Spring Break in Tha Villages

We were planing a trip to The Villages at the end of March beginning April when we realized it was spring break. Everyplace seems overrun with people during this time. How are The Villages during spring break? Not that we think teens will be partying like at a beach but just more croweded. We were hoping for a normal or close to normal time.

This hardly a teen spring break destination, but the snow birds will still be here

If you're looking at March or April, it's still busy with the snowbirds, but not a real issue. Busy roads, busy stores, etc.......but all of Florida is the same.

I was thinking more along the lines of an abnormal amount families, grandkids, friends and future residents visiting.

Spring break has no effect on the activities in TV any time of the year.

TV is a family holiday get together (where it is warm(er)) destination.
Not a spring break destination.

Anyplace worth going to or visiting or being from is busy.

Spring break sometimes, often, rarely, used to.....fall around Easter. At Easter time families get together. It will be crowded around Easter. That is my view. MOSTLY with younger kids, but crowded.

The Village Charter School - Calendar | The Village Charter School

GC is right as far as the Villages' schools as these look like they have their Spring Break in late March which corresponds to our early Easter this year. When Is Easter Sunday in 2016?

Usually around Lincoln's birthday, some schools have mid-winter break for a week. After April 6th should be pretty vacation-free, judging from airline price drops after Easter weekend.

When did the term "spring break" begin to also include high school kids "spring/winter recess"? Must be like grade schools and high schools being on a "camps" rather than a "school yard". Guess I am getting old!!..
