For those who have gone in August

[jpolak]

For our trip in August(22-29) we were going to try and avoid all of the parks on their emh day. Traveling with dd who will be just over three at the time so the pm emh was really not an option. Trying to get out of the room early enough to take full advantage of the am ones would be difficult at best. So I am hoping that between using the best days info from touringplans.com and lower crowd levels(so I've been told) we are hoping to be able to do all that we would like to. So is this a good plan or not?

I think thats a good plan. I've been 10 times in August, and to be honest, have never really had any problems with crowds. We can easily get to the front of the gates at the beginning of the day without rushing too much.

As long as u don't mind the heat it shouldn't be too bad. We went around that time 2 years ago and the parks were medium crowded.

Just be sure to try to get to the parks for when they do open (non-Emh) as you would be amazed at how much you can accomplish early on. Late August is still really hot so think about planning an afternoon break back at the hotel. You can head back to the parks for the late afternoon nicely refreshed.

thats the plan we use for all our trips
we dont do the early mornings or late night hours
i try to schedule the park i want to do after the late night emh from the night before
so if MK was open late the night before i would go to MK the next morning
we rarely wait on lines and getting there at opeining is a must for us
the opening shows at the gate are alot of fun too-you should try not to miss them
especially at the MK
