Ok, time to start scaring me.....my son starts high school next year We can't take him out of school anymore so have to actually plan around school breaks! How bad is the February break?

Anytime school is out, it tends to be crazy at the parks. That being said, I think the winter & spring Breaks tend to be a bit less hectic because not all schools are off the same week.

I use the DVC points charts to gauge how busy WDW will likely be. The lower the points rates, the less crowded their projections are. The DVC points chart has lower points (but still in Category 3 of 5) for the first 2 weeks of Feb and points rates go to the next highest level the last 2 weeks of Feb.

Undercovertourist.com shows a slightly different projection:

I think, what it boils down to, is a good plan and prioritizing what's most important. Do those parks & attractions first and then as you have time do others.
