I also enjoy mid/late August for the light crowds.
You're not finding light crowds the last week in June.
Schools that don't let out in May generally go until mid/late June so many families will be there for summer break. Plus many people go late June to be there for 4th of July.
I went last summer June 5-9 and July 6-10. July is slightly more hot, but we take pool breaks. Crowds were WAY less in July. I could not believe it. There was no one in the parks around the 4th last year. I think it was because the 4 day magic ticket was blocked on the 4th last year but not this year so it may be crowded this year between the 4 day magic ticket and the free dining.
