How bad is it in July?

How bad is the weather in July? Would it be horrific going around the parks and such? Now for another question, what about September? Anyone? Thanks

We've been a few times in July, August and September. I don't really see any difference in the weather. It's very hot and humid but if you go prepared it really is not that bad. We never spend the entire day in the parks. We go early for rope drop (or try to anyway) and then we stay until we are ready to have lunch. We will either eat in the park and then go back to the resort or go back to the resort and have lunch there. Then we relax either in the room or go to the pool for a few hours before heading back to the parks around dinner time. We will usually stay until it closes or until we poop out....which ever come first. The perk of summer visits is that the parks are open very late. Very rarely will we go to the parks 2 days in a row. Usually it's one day on, one day off. Also, we like to spend a few days at the waterparks. They are a lot of fun and it never feels hot there.

It is super crowded around the 4th of July....like shoulder to shoulder crowded. The crowds are lowest in the last week of August through September.

I love going in August...it's hot, but so is it at home I have been only once in July and I survived and would go again if my calendar allowed it

We went one year for the July 4th weekend and it was HOT. If you go in July plan for a few extra breaks during the day ( indoor shows like the Tikki room, Finding Nemo ect) are great for cooling off and getting a break. Be sure to also drink extra water because it is very easy to forget how long it has been and get dehydrated, Have fun.

Ok, and what about crowds around the last week of July?

We always go in July usually around 4th of July. Crowds are large but we have always managed. You just need to plan for the heat and stay hydrated.

We go in late June/early July. Yes it is hot, it does (usually) rain daily but with ponchos, a positive attitude, and by using FPs, shows and meals in AC during the worst heat of the day, and extended evening park hours it's PERFECTWhen I compare going in January (off off season) and the summer, it's so much MORE everything. ADRs are a must too.

Still very busy.... remember this is peak season. It is super busy from June thru mid August.
