Mad to go in August??

[Rachie B]

To me, give me the christmas season anytime over summer. I just love all the christmas decorations and christmas music (though I do go early December) but just as magical. I find when we have been first week of December (mid week) it has been very quiet.

we are limited to school holidays, or weekends unfortunately

We are going in August this year, we are also restricted to school hols.....Im hoping as we survived Christmas that we will survive the summer too!

I'm still not keen on going in August with a 3 year old. I would love to go in the Summer but i think i would suffer from people rage

Hopefully you will find it a lot easier / better like we did

you can always go to the park early,get a load of rides done
then go back to the hotel or the village for some down time mid afternoon

then head back into the park early evening ish for more rides / parades etc

queuing for over a hour for a ride just does not appeal to me lol.

 

[Rachie B]

we only queued for an hour once,in aug

i won't / don't queue for that long either

price you pay though if limited to school hols

you don't have that prob for years yet ? most schools with authorise up to 10 days a year ( so 2 weeks between during each school year,sept and july )

until my eldest was in secondary school,i used to take them both out of school during term time

only ever a week ,so didn't take the pee like some parents do !

That sounds like a good plan!
Tbh we coped fine at Christmas as we made the most of the EMH and we just didnt bother with the long queues we did something else instead....so we will do the same again in the summer...

I just cant wait to go back!

Thanks for all the replies. We've agreed to wait until she starts school and see how things are going before thinking about booking. I believe Disney doesn't release hotels until much nearer Sept/Oct for Christmas anyway. And I don't think Easyjet flights seem to be changing much in price these days - it's about the same when you book - not like the old days where it was sooo cheap if you booked first off.

We will only go if we do midweek (well flying Sun but we get there late) and v late Nov/early Dec... So hopefully it wouldn't be too crowded.

I think sadly we've had the 'best time' to visit Disney - our first last year at end Sept as it was just so perfect park wise - weather wasn't always great but not cold really. I think we've spoilt it for ourselves
