Do I have to grant my ex the week of vacation with the kids if it falls on my holiday with them?
She is threatening police action if I don’t deliver them on my holiday. After I already announced that I have plans with the kids and are going out of state with them due to fall break (which is the 18th and 19th), then it is our weekend to have the kids, she announces that she is taking her vacation starting on the 19th. That’s still our holiday. We told her that’s not going to happen but she said if we don’t drop them off by 4:00 pm (a random time) on the 19th, that she’s going to call the police. I don’t think she has the right to do that, but I don’t want an amber alert being announced or to get arrested.

If the custody/visitation order that presumably is in effect allows you to have the children on the holiday that your "ex" wants them, then under this presumed court order you are entitled to have the children on your allotted time.
Rather than getting into some court hearing on the subject, I suggest some form of compromise on the matter. If compromise on the matter is not feasible, then you should consult with a family law attormey to try and get the situation addressed and resolved.
