The best way to tell if the particular area of Florida that are traveling to will be quiet when you want to travel is to look at hotel prices. If they are very reasonable-- should be a good indicator that the hotels are not expecting crowds.
This. OP - was actually just looking in Miami for 2-3 nights and hotels that are totally sold out this week and booking in the $380-450 range this and week are booking in the $250-300 range in mid-late April. And we're talking Hiltons etc. not super fancy hotels. Florida REALLY does sell out and/or have super high prices during peak vacation seasons, so PP's hotel metric is pretty accurate.
