Having second thoughts about July....how about late June?

[2Pirates2Princesses]

Should we switch to the third or fourth week of June instead? My primary concern is dealing with the “peak of the peak” summer crowds, especially with the large tour groups. I know it’s not going to be *that much* different (it’s summer I know it’s gonna be hot and crowded);but will going towards the end of June be a little better? The only thing I’m hesitant about is losing my adrs, and our July dates fall on my birthday . Our only prior “summer” experience at Disney was our late August trip in 2011 which was low crowds and free dining .....but with football and marching band schedules August is out completely; and early to mid June is out because of dance schedules (don’t even know how we can vacation at all with my kids schedules ), which is why I booked our July week. This won’t be our first (or last) WDW rodeo so we know to be more laid back with this trip considering the climate and crowds. But should we switch our dates if there is a chance the third to last week of June might be better?

I really doubt there will be much difference at all TP has June and July looking pretty similar. Mostly 7s and 8s with a few 6s and 9s and a couple 10s (MK 4th of July). I would just keep what you have.

Happy planning

Will not make one bit of difference.

Will not make one bit of difference.

Even with all the tour groups?

No, not really. Yes, the tour groups are there in July and not in late June. But while you will see them, it's not like the park is over run with them. Beyond that, there's zero difference between late June and July.

third week of June may be a bit slower since northern and mid western schools are still in session. Many get out right at the end of June. Still may not matter to much, last July was slow.

I don’t think you’ll see much difference in terms of crowds or heat, so go with the week that works best for your family.

We have gone end of June/first week of july (through july 4th) the last few years and have always found it pretty manageable.

I would not change it.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. It would not be a Disney trip without me second guessing something . Looking forward to this being our “summer vacation” trip this year and not having to deal with the kids missing school or their activities like with our last couple of Disney trips.
