Normally, I wouldn't take my kids out of school either, but when my son's best friend, who is going through cancer, wanted us to go with them to Disney in September, we automatically said yes. They were only back to school a couple of weeks, so it wouldn't affect finals or anything. It was a great experience. The crowds were next to nothing. We were able to walk right up to all the rides. I sent a letter to the teachers giving them the opportunity to assign their homework prior, during or after the kids got back. All teachers chose to have them make up their homework after. Within a week of getting back, the kids were all caught up in school, and didn't miss a beat. Then think of all the wonderful memories they had, rather than the stress of crowds. Well, we are on our third trip next week to pulling the kids out of school. Good memories are more important that good attendance.
