We are going Aug 17-23 at Kidiani, Aug 23-30 at BLT, Aug 30-Sept 2 at BWV. We have been going to WDW in August for the last 14 years. Yes it is very hot, rainy and chance of hurricanes, but the crowd level is very manageable. Crowds pick up around Labor Day weekend. We go that time because school starts here after labor day. Unfortunately this summer will be the last end of August for us because my daughter will be starting college next year.
