My trip is the very end of August so I know crowds are lower in general. I however booked my ADRs based on the extra hours at each park just in case we wanted to stay longer. Of course that means crowd predictions say the park we are planning each day is in the red. In the past I've always planned the opposite, avoiding EMH and heading to parks predicted green. With that method, our dates, and the use of FastPass we have always had luck with quick short waits. So anyone have experience during 'low season' but 'high crowd' day? We had to get the park hopper anyhow so I am wondering if I should rework my ADRs and try avoiding EMH days, than we can wonder to that park for night shows if we feel like later.

We always IGNORE those recommended parks and we use EMH mornings and evenings all the time. We've never had an issue. We are up early, at rope drop/early EMH, take a midday break (often), then hop to another park.

Oh man my countdown is still in three digits since we are the end of August. Hearing others say it as 3 months though makes mine seem so much closer

POFQ is our favourite resort. It's compact, fun and has a lovely boat ride to Disney Springs. Everything is just so beautiful there. Have fun!

MY MDE says 74, we are checking in on the 30th of July. Getting a little nervous for our upcoming FP window to open with so many unknown opening dates of new attractions that my daughter's want to do.
