June/July

[Chris]

Hi! I'm new to this area and have a quick question <or 3>.

We were in Disney this past June but didn't make it to US or IOA, heck last time I went it was just US! Anyway, we're hoping to get back to FL
the end of June beginning of July <26-10>. Can anyone give me an idea of the crowds? When we went this year, it was crowded and earlier June...but again, that was in Disney.

Also, I'm looking at the 3 day non-expiring pass through Ticketmania.
For the 7 of us it looks to be $837.00, I'm not sure we'd use all day's but I wouldnt' mind taking a day back home with me for another trip, heck it keeps us going back so it works for me! The other option was the 1 day pass to either IOA or US. Our children will be at that time, 11, 10, 8, 7, and 5.
Do you think they would be too young for either of these parks?

TIA!!!

Early June is ok, but July is crowded as the kids are out of school.

You need to stay at an onsite hotel, like the RPR.
The kids are old enough and will have a blast. Staying onsite will let you walk back and forth to the park. Visit early in the morning, go back to your room in the afternoon to get out of the sun, then return at night.

The good news if you go starting July 4th, is that's when the park hours go until 10pm, and they do the fireworks show. So yes, the park is more crowded in July, but if you stay onsite, you can manage with your FOTL keys.

Here's my report from this July.

If you get a room that has a DVD player--all the better. DH and I were there in July and did the parks in the am, watched a movie or two, maybe did the pool (we are not pool people) then returned to the parks when it cooled down a bit.
