Best time to plan???Please help

We are trying to plan another trip to WDW but are having trouble planning around hubbys schedule and kids school schedules. We have always gone in February. We are thinking of July. Can anyone give me info on crowds?
Our other option is to wait until easter '07. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I can't give a whole lot of assistance but I can tell you that we went last year the last week of June with DS 9 and DD 4 and didn't have too many probs. We put the little one in a stroller and had no problems pushing her around. Lines were not too bad, the longest by far was about 25 minutes and that was only because we didn't do fastpass for that. We stayed offsite so we didn't do Disney transportation but lines for that did not look too long except for when we left at park closing, which I think is normal. The weather was Florida weather. It was sunny and warm but not humid the first day there and the rest of the days were very warm with a mid afternoon shower. Some of the showers did extend into rather lengthy rains and caused us to leave the park one day but the weather is not always predictable.

Our prior trips were always in July due to not wanting to taje the kids out of school, ect.. This last trip we took, we decided to go for Christmas and we will NEVER go in July again! It is always SUPER crowded and very hot. The sun really kicks your butt and the kids are soo tierd by dinner. We found woith it being much cooler, everyone felt soo much better and we were able to get more out of our trip. We also thought the crowds were so much better.

Thank you you so much for the information. I think we may schedule for easter and if DH has a schedule change then we will go in July. We are from La. so we would always go for Mardi Gras which was great. Weather was nice not too hot or cold. However one year it fell on Presidents week and it was crowded. The problem we have now is DD is going to be in High School and its harder to make up the work missed.
thank you again for the info.
