Disney In August - Are We Nuts

[pickles]

Vote us in for Aug. our first trip was late aug 05, we are now buying DVC and our plans are to go every Aug/sept.. we would rather deal with the heat than the crowds. It was nice to pretty much be able to walk onto lines, very little waiting.
We are also near St Louis and are use to the heat and humid.
Some would simply depend on what you are use to

Does Anyone Regularly Go To Disney In August. Is It Unbearable Heat, And What About Hurricanes? Going Aug 16th For 10 Nights. Thanks

I will be there the same time!!!!

I have been in August before.....They keep everything even cooler then other times of the year.....its kinda nice because you are more apt to do rides and shows that you might normally skip just to get the A/C!!!!!

I am prepping myself for very high temps, buy the misting fans, they are a life saver....dont buy from the park...( $20 each! )

Have fun....see you there!

we have been there twice in August. One year (2002), it rained like crazy every day... but, we went to the parks and used the pool anyway. The next time, we went because the weather in Wisconsin had been terrible that summer (2004?) and we were hoping for some really hot weather - and didn't get it. Seemed fine to us - hot but not unbearable. Also, I thought the crowds were super manageable both times.

So - I have found that we really like August and if I could talk my husband into a second Disney trip each year - it would be then! Maybe next year!
