Late aug. Trip...Planning

[Kitts21]

We are taking a trip to WDW in late Aug(27-01) And I was wondering how much planning besides the usual ADR's we should do. It's my DD 5th b-day and we want it to be special. Should we go on a full touring plan style trip, with "we have to be at this ride at this time" then run over here next, or can we just kinda plan "loosely" and just say "we are going to this park this day", "eating here tonight so we should do this park today". Not sure how the crowd levels play into the equation, never being this time of year. So any suggestions would be great. As a side note we do have all are ADR's and we plan on taking breaks in the middle of the day to re-fuel and cool down. Also do any of you think the crowd levels will be up due to the extended free dinning? Thanks in advance

We went in August in 2004 and had no crowd problems except for MK on the week-end; however, they didn't offer the free dining option at that time. Actually I was wondering if the offer wasn't procuring enough reservations that they extended to deadline date until 6/25.

As far as the touring plan goes, I would suggest just picking the days of the parks and avoid EMH nights when planning. I would make your ressies if you havent done so yet, but I wouldnt worry about touring the attractions minute by minute. Just plan the day not the minute for all the parks.

You've heard it before, but the best advice is be there for open and you wont have any trouble and you will beat the heat.

We will be there same time as you, enjoy your trip!
