How to read this calendar
Each color tells you how a day works for travel. The number at the end of each week is how many days off that week has.
Every break this school year
Princeton Public Schools breaks for 2026–27. Days off in a row include the weekend around each break.
Magic Windows
A Magic Window is a 4–5 day school break that also falls during a calmer stretch of our Disney World crowd calendar, with every day rated 1 Magical or 2 Smooth. Here are the Magic Windows on the Princeton school calendar through 2027.
Memorial Day Weekend 2027
Every day is rated 1 Magical or 2 Smooth on our Disney World crowd calendar. This break includes possible snow make-up days, so those extra days off depend on whether they're needed during the school year.
See May on the crowd calendar →Jersey Week 2027
Jersey Week is always popular with New Jersey families, but these dates fall during a calmer stretch on our national Disney World crowd calendar.

Jersey Week 2027
Princeton's draft 2027–28 calendar closes schools Thursday and Friday, November 4–5, 2027, for the NJEA Convention, giving families a 4-day weekend from November 4 to 7. It's one of the most popular weeks for New Jersey families to visit Disney, so expect the parks to be a little busier than usual. This year's Jersey Week was November 5–6, 2026.
Disney Wish from New York
The Disney Wish sails from New York for seven cruises between September 29 and November 5, 2027. Here's how each sailing lines up with Princeton's draft 2027–28 school calendar.

Do you plan Disney cruises and Universal Orlando vacations too?
Yes! In addition to Walt Disney World, we plan Universal Orlando vacations, Disney Cruise Line sailings, and other family cruises. That includes helping local families explore the Disney Wish cruises departing from New York in fall 2027.

Snow days. The district says there's no school on May 28, 2027 "if fewer than two 'snow' days occur during the year," and no school on June 1 "if zero 'snow' days occur." Both have a dashed outline and are shown as days off. Conference days are early dismissal days for students, and the Board can amend the calendar for weather or other circumstances.
