Question for the experts - do you think July will be as crazy crowded as May?

Last time we went to WDW in July I though crowds were very managable. I think our longest wait without a FP was 25 minutes at the Jungle Cruise. I'm prepared for really crowded parks but I hope it's better than I plan for.

Any thoughts?

We have gone several times in May and have never had a problem with crowds. I think July would be much more crowded than May. JMO!!

It depends on what part of May....I have been in July and I think its alot more fun, because of the extra stuff going on....crowd or no crowd...

But I have also gone in May....the very first part of may...It was alot less crowded......
If you go in the mid to later part of May, I think then you will be getting into the springbreak time....Thats a different story...

Or is that in April? ....

We went July 4th week in 2002 and had no problem we utilized fast pass and the longest wait we had all week was 1 hour for Dumbo (which has no fast pass) but dd 3 at the time had to ride it. We went to MGM on the actual 4th. Now some of the water parks did close during the week because the were at capacity but we had a really enjoyable week. However, the next year we went in October because a CM at resort had told us that was a good time to go crowd wise and it was awful, it was just as hot as July and it was so crowded you could hardly move, most fast pass boths were closed by early afternoon. I don't know if this is the norm or not because it was the 4th of July after 9-11. We are going the middle of June and I am keeping my fingers crossed it won't be to bad. I can stand the heat I just don't like standing in long lines.
