Can u stand anothe "when to go" thread? Mem Week or end of june?

[Crazy4mandms]

I am just so completely torn about my next trip to WDW. I want to reserve soon cuz I like to pay a little at a time. My brother in FLA grad from HS over the Memorial Day weekend....of course I want to be there and I was going to plan a trip to WDW in conjunction with going to his grad. But gosh, that would so limit our time at WDW..so I was thinking, I would make a quick trip for his grad, give my family my undivided attention, then go down again in June when school is out and we can spend 2 whole weeks in FLA and RELAX at WDW. We've been the week before Memorial day up to the Friday of....I"m just wondering how different crowds and weather are say June 25th until July 3 vs. the week b4 Memorial. We had a wonderful week as we knew how to use fastpasses, took adv of midday breaks and EMH...could I do the same that last week in June and still get away with 15 minute wait times? Or am I just dreaming??? I hestitated to start this thread as I see so many of them and I know it is hard to predict crowds, but I just am SOOOOO torn about what to do!!!! I was hoping I could count on my disboard buddies to help me out!! Thanks in advance!!!!

It will be A LOT more crowded leading into July 4 than it is over Memorial Day weekend.

Summer crowds start building throughout the month of June and reach their peak on July 4.

We were at WDW from May 27-June 3rd this year and the heat was not bad, nor were the crowds. There were lots of people there, but we followed Tour Guide Mike and the longest we waited for any ride was 17 minutes, in the middle of the afternoon, for a non-Fast Pass attraction.

The day I noticed the crowds the most was the Sunday of Mem Day weekend. We were able to do everything we wanted but FP return times were longer than I expected them to be and there were just lots of people everywhere.

We were @ WDW from May 28th to June 5 and had little or no wait times. We like missy pie used Tour Guide Mike. I really think his advice helped to avoid long waits. if you go around July-look out. It will be soooo crowded.

Ok, last year I went to WDW the week leading up to Memorial Day weekend, We left the Saturday before. It was hot, but not as hot as this year. It was crowded but not unbearable. I would probably do it again.

This year, I made the genious plans to to WDW arriving June 26 and leaving July 2. I don't know if I would ever do that again. I had a FANTASTIC time. But it rained alot,it was very crowded, and was very very hot. I managed to not wait very long for most rides. But it was just uncomfortable some times. The weather was a real bummer. It was my BF's first trip and the weather stunk. Plus the crowds towards the end were getting horrendous.
