when would you go?

we are booked for Aug but we are thinking about canceling and re-booking for Jan. would you keep Aug or go for Jan?

My vote for August is based on 2 things: 1) There are always deals available in August, and 2) We can comfortably swim. My kids love to play in the water, so a trip in winter, with a chance of it being too cold for water play would devistate them. Just my 2 cents. Have fun whichever you choose

My vote is for January. It is too hot in August and if you live in the north it will be a nice trip to get out of the snow.

Yes, if swimming is important, go in August. We have gone 3 times over the past two summers, once in June, once in late July/early August, and once in mid-August. It is hot, but totally doable. I prefer the hot weather over the more unpredictable winter weather. You don't know if you need shorts and t-shirts or jeans and sweatshirts in the winter so you have to take it all. Summer is so easy! Love it.

If swimming doesn't matter and you don't like heat, or especially heat & crowds together, then go in January.

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

We've done both and I prefer August. Yes, January is a nice break from the real cold here at home, but I don't want to be cold at Disney! We needed jackets several evenings and it was too cold for me to swim comfortably (the kids didn't let it stop them, and I did still fit in a little hot tub time). And we had very good weather for the time of year we went - some years, that week brings near-freezing lows.
