Question about June

[Grandmatoniko]

We are booked for June anyway, we have been there in January, February, August and April but never June...what can we expect crowd wise? It will be June 14 to the 20th and also weather wise? Thanks in advance!!!

It will be crowded and hot. Best to get to the parks at RD and leave for a swim or other cooling activity for the afternoon hours. Back to the parks for evening, when it cools down a bit.

When in August have you gone? Depending on the time of the month it can be pretty comparable, unless you've gone at the end of August, then that's a different story as far as crowds go.

We went the 3rd week in August in 2010. I was really hoping the weather wouldnt be as muggy I dont care either way, we will be in Disney and I will be happy

We are also going the last week in June and worried about the crowds. We have always gone in May. My daughter did not want to be taken out of school this year so we chose to go the last week in June and wonder if we made a mistake as it will be crazy hot and wicked crowded.

We've been going the first couple weeks of June for years. It is hot and humid, but we, too, leave the parks for a pool break, get showered and head out for a nice dinner. We always arrive at the parks before RD and get a LOT done before the crowds arrive. You can pretty much assume there will be an afternoon shower, but they usually only last for a short time. Have a great trip!!!

When you went in Feb. & April, was it during a school vacation week? I ask because that is a crowded time to go.

We have been to WDW the end of June & find it less crowded than school vacation weeks. It can be really hot, but as others have said, try to make RD and then swim in the afternoon.

You are right, you will be at Disney & you will be happy!

Have a great vacation!

As others have said, it's hot, humid, and crowded. BUT you're at Disney, so that eases some of the pain, right? Our previous trips have been in June, and we always experienced an afternoon thunderstorm/shower almost every day. They don't last long (20 min. up to an hour). On the occasions it lasted longer, or more than one shower kept popping up, we tried to find indoor shows or rides. The parks will clear, but we always stayed because I'd rather be a little wet enjoying fun things at the parks than dry in my hotel room. One thing you might consider is bringing ponchos with you. They're pretty inexpensive, roll up easily, and can be tucked in a backpack or a stroller. We would spread them out once we were back in the hotel so they could dry, roll them up tightly for the next day, and we were ready once again. Another thing that's helpful is a cheap little fan. We found some for around $1 that were very small and light weight, but gave just enough breeze on the neck to make you feel better. As others have said, hit the park at rope drop to get there while it's coolest.

You will be fine. When our kids were younger, we took them out of school, but as they got older, we started going in June or July. We went the last week of June last year & are doing the same this year. Just be prepared for the heat. Try to make RD & swim in the afternoon or go to the parks at night, when it is cooler. Drink plenty of water and take breaks as needed. The crowds won't be as light as May, so again, think RD & use FP. It really will be fine. Make a list of must do things & start w/those. Anything else you fit in, will be a bonus. BTW, are you originally from New England? I ask because you said wicked crowded. I thought only New Englanders said wicked! I love it!

Have a great vacation!

I find June and July to be less muggy than August. It is still hot and humid, but not as bad to me. And those afternoon thunderstorms really do help.

The crowds will be worse in June, but if you make rope drop and use the fast pass, it will be manageable.
