Crowds/ weather late May or early June

[lmj]

I am debating whether or not to plan a last minute trip. We usually go in the off seasons like October or December so we are kind of spoiled. I am also not a big fan of the extreme heat and humidity. Will it be very crowded and hot the first week of June. Cheap AP rates and airfare are making it very hard for me to talk myself out of a much needed "Disney fix".

We have always gone the first couple of weeks of June. Our next trip is June 3rd! June in Florida is always very hot and humid, with a chance of rain showers almost every afternoon. It usually only showers for a few minutes, and then stops. The heat is not that bad if you prepare yourself for it. Drink lots of water, and build rest times through out the day. You can also hit the shows when the heat is really oppressive. Usually the park hours and events start to increase by this time. You can also utilize the water parks and resort pools to cool off. The crowds that last couple of years have been big, but not unbearable. The longest we waited in line last year was 35 minutes for a headliner ride. We were at the parks at opening, used fastpass to maximize our time. We have always had a really great time, and would not change the time of year we visit even if we could. I hope this helps you make your decision. Have fun planning!

I'm a consistant first or second week June traveler. I'd pretty much echo deirdrefitch's opinions. The rain comes, but it's quite frankly a relief when it hits. Unlike some September storms I've seen that send you underground for a couple hours, the storms in early June seem to come and go in a half hour. It's actually kind of funky. I've seen pouring rain through sunshine, quite the "Magic" site.

A warning: Saturday's in MK, never a nice thing, can be pergatory during this period, specifically on Saturday June 7, which is Gay Day in the Kingdom. A day to be avoided, crowdwise. Beyond that, we avoid early entry, use fast pass, hit the E-Tickets early in the morning, and find most of our waits are fifteen minutes or less. A suggestion: get there early, take a break in the afternoon, come back when a good portion of the crowd is either leaving or eating.

We also visit in early June--as everyone else has said, the crowds are very manageable. We only used FP a couple of times-most rides had wait times of 30 minutes or less. It did rain every day--some days were worse than others but that didn't stop us either. The heat and humidity are also tolerable--just drink lots of water and pace yourself. There are so many things that are indoors and air-conditioned that is really easy to get a nice break from the sun. Of course, I would rather be hot and tired at WDW than here any day

We are about to take our third late may early June trip. Our experience has been similar to previous posters. Crowds aren't bad especially if you go early take a resort break and go back late afternoon to early evening. You'll find highs anywhere from high 80's to mid 90's with a shower thrown in here or there which never stops us. Being from Alabama the heat and humidity isn't quite the deterant that it may be for others. Just be smart, drink water, head back to the resort or pool during hottest hours of the day. Other than AK there are alot of air conditioned areas to take breaks at the parks.
