Crazy Canucks!- Who is going with me in August???

[Cdn Gal]

OK you crazy canucks- who is going with me in August to battle the heat? We will be at Disney from 15th-22nd. Anybody else? I won't lie- I'm a little bit worried about the heat!

 

[YukiPhnx]

I am! Will be there from Aug17-24th at the Pop!

I'm probably one of the few people who LOVE the Florida summer heat

 

[Wilec]

We are coming 17th-Sept 3. This is our second year in a row going down before Labour Day.

Hot yes.... but worth it.. That is what pools are for.

 

[CrystalS]

Well I'm due with a baby in August, so that rules that out for me, lol.

But I'm still contemplating trying to go at the end of September

 

[Cdn Gal]

I would miss Disney for a baby! We'll be 'off site' at Bonnet Creek. Do you find the heat bad? What do you do to cool down? Is it hotter than Toronto hot???

 

[Nicki828]

We're thinking of going at the end of August. Depends what kind of deal we can get. We want to stay at a moderate or deluxe - but have had alot of expenses this year, so don't want to break the bank in going.

We booked bounce back last August for this August for ASMu! Free dining included!!! Cannot wait!

 

[vDunninger]

We're there Aug 7-14! We always go in August. We're Canadians, we're tough; if we can stand the frozen tundra of the north, we can take a bit of heat. Besides, helps melt the last bit of ice off my moustache each summer so I can get a fresh start on freezing it again when I get home.

I've never gone in Aug. I know Florida residents are back in school. How are the crowds then?

We stayed at Fort Wilderness last August. The first two weeks of August were somewhat busy as different schools headed back. Some schools went back the first week and the remainder of local schools went back the second. During the last 2 weeks of August, the place was almost empty... most of the RV loops were no more than 20% full. The cabins however were full.

Keep in mind that free dining started around August 15th, so the parks were a little busier but not as busy as the last week of July or the first week of August and definitely not as busy as what we encounted a couple of weeks ago during March Break

We have gone many times in August and the heat is a nice change from the crappy Ontario summers we have been experiencing over the last 5 or so years. Remember that air conditioning is everywhere... your room, the buses, in stores, in most attractions, in most queue lines. If you are waiting for the mid-day parades, try and find a little shade... that is probably when you will encounter your worst heat situation. Remember to drink lots and lots of water and make sure the kids are drinking it too, even though they may say they aren't thirsty.

Enjoy... you'll have a great time.

We'll be there August 25-Sep 6! Third time going in August! Summer Heat is fantastic!! Air Conditioning everywhere and lots of cool disney treats - Dole Whip, Ice Cream Cookies, mmmm

 

[EEYORERULES]

We are heading down July 31st - Aug 4th. This is first trip in August. I figure since the weather has been so terrible in Florida this year maybe it won't be as hot as usual - lol.

 

[Tiggs14]

We're currently booked for August 16 - 28th with the free dining bounce back offer. We were there September 5 - 18th last year.

Has anyone booked there flights yet? Are you flying out of Buffalo/Detroit or Toronto if you're in Ontario?

 

[House_of_Mouse Fan]

We'll be there August 8 - 16 splitting our time between our home of Wilderness Lodge and the Poly.

 

[schoonersky]

Oh how tempted I am to book it again... we have done the last two summers, spent two full weeks last year at Royal Pacific Resort and then Pop. The heat is intense, BUT after day 2 you start to get used to it. Lots of water from the spray bottle, water to drink, water to get wet, air conditioning, etc. and it works out. Breaks are important too.

Trying to go in May but DH is a teacher and doesn't think he can get time off. :-( Maybe I can convince him for August...August better than March break for those who know?

Having just done both within the last 8 months, I'll take August and the heat over March Break and the crowds anyday

 

[Mrs. M. Mouse]

We'll be there Aug 20-sep 5th! staying at Pop. I can't wait to go home!!!!

 

[disneybound08]

We'll be heading down from August 20th - 28th. We are soooooo excited, we can hardly wait

 

[minnie56]

I am..and dreading it. Only time my friend and her daughter can go though I was hoping for November, but I guess we'll be sweating it up!!!!!

 

[TraceyDisney2008]

If free dining is offered we will be going Aug 21-31 at POFQ or *** depending on the dining plan being offered, and hoping flight for three from Pearson goes under $1000.00
