July vs August - is one better than the other for visit time?

[pediatric-rnp]

We are planning a WDW trip again for next summer to celebrate DS's high school graduation. Having never been during summer, I'm curious which may be a better month to go. How are the crowds and , altho I know it is hot, is one month worse than another? June is out for us, as graduation is mid june and another family member has theirs end of June. We've been at WDW for both Thanksgiving and Easter, so we kind of know what to expect with large crowds - but with 2 redheads who have very fair skin, I'm more concerned re: the heat. Thanks.

Neither month is any better heat-wise. Late Aug is better, crowd-wise tho.

What about hurricane season? Isn't that more August/September?

Hmmmmm - there's a good thought - I hadn't thought about hurricane season in August! After what FL went thru last summer with the hurricanes, I don't think I want to chance that for us! I wouldn't want to be there for one, and I also wouldn't want to be down there if one strikes New England - I would be so worried about our home/family. (The forcasters keep saying NE is overdue for one!) Thanks for helping me make the decision for July!
