For a 4/5 night trip, which would be better: mid-July (I really don't think this one will fly) or early August? I would prefer early August, but what do you guys think?
I don't think there would be much difference. Crowds will be the same-busy and the weather will be the same-hot, humid and rainy season. I'd pick whatever would work best for your scheduling.
I agree that there would be really no difference between going in mid-July or early August. If you can possible go after the middle of August I understand that schools in the South are opening and the crowds get smaller at that point.
