August Mornings?

[Disneymoon]

We will be in the world this August 12-19th. It is just DH and I and our current plan of attack is to get up early each morning and be there when the parks open and for AM EMH on most days. We are both early risers and hoping to beat the heat in the early morning hours.

Is it cooler in the morning?

DH and I have been in WDW a few times in August. It is generally a bit cooler in the morning and then again in the evening (after sunset, of course). DH loves to go to the pool during the day so we usually head back to the hotel by 1.

Have a great trip. We'll be there 8/12-8/18!

We always go in August and it is slightly cooler in the AM and in the evenings. As you will see alot on the boards people recommend going back to the hotel for a swim or a nap---This is a definite! We usually go for opening, have lunch and then go back and wither go to the pool or take a nap.

We will also be there in August 14th to the 24th

I would say it depends on your definition of 'cooler'. Aug is hot and although it is slightly cooler in the mornings it can be warmer than what you are used to because of the humidity. We have been the last 2 Augusts and last summer didn't seem as hot as the year before and we actually used the hot tub at night which we couldn't do in 2005.

I agree, get up early and get back to the hotel for a swim and maybe some laundry We went through way more clothes in August than we have on other trips.

We will be at POFQ from Aug. 12-19. I actually worked at Disney the summer of 1995 and can tell you the mornings are a little cooler but it is still really warm. Our plan of attack is go in the mornings come back swim and then go back in the evenings.

Exactly what I was thinking! It is still hot in the morning. We went last Aug and definitely had a bit of sweating going on before 10am. Still fun though! Have a great time! I am not going this year and am so jealous of ALL of you!

I agree with above posters. It is cooler, but that is definitely a relative term. When you're talking 100 degree days, it might be 85 when you leave your hotel in the morning! As soon as you walk out that air-conditioned room, it is overwhelming - that thick, humid, sticky air. By the time we walk to the bus stop, we're already dripping with sweat. But at least you don't have the scorching sun like you do in the afternoon. Plus, in my experience, early mornings are the least crowded time of the day at the parks. Not everyone wants to get up early on vacation. So, yes, definitely get to the parks first thing and do as much as you can before you need to take a break and cool off. Good luck!
