Going to USA for 2/3 months

Hi first time using this and I wanted some help, ideas on me and my family going to USA for 2/3 months.
my son is year 7, i have a daughter in year 1 currently and a 3 month old.
was going to take a holiday to Disney world for 2/3 weeks and then just thought about staying there for a bit longer. Maybe home schooling for a bit and just try a different country out for a bit. I didn’t know if schools would look at this as holiday time and fine me or if I say we are home schooling for the time we are away. Or how any of it even works to be honest.
I wondered if there would be schools there they could go into for a short time?
Probably stuff I’ve missed out but I’ll do my best to update.
looking to go October to December this year.
thanks in advance

If your child is absent for more than 3 weeks they will be taken off the roll. Whether you can reenrol will depend on spaces being available and it can take a few weeks for the paperwork.

Honestly? This is a bad idea unless you actually want to homeschool properly, and have you even looked into the logistics of being in the USA car rental is now $$$? You can't enrol in school for a few weeks as you won't be residents.

If I was taking my kids out of school I would want to go somewhere for more exciting with genuine learning opportunities, se Asia perhaps, Sri Lanka, south America.
