since my first trip was in august 1994 and august 1995 i have stayed away from august because of the heat and crowds...but booked it again this year (the price was right)...so my question is...for anyone who has been in august... aside from the heat (thats why extra days so i can pool it when the temps go high) does florida still get rain showers in the afternoon and how are the crowds? can deal with heat and showers...but the crowds ....arrrrrr... anyone been in august lately? hoping lots of kids are back for school

I have never been in August, but I am curious to hear the responses too. There are some really good deals then, I would maybe consider it or early September but I am really worried about the heat.

I went late August in 2005 for a day here and there while I was at a Lord of the Rings convention (and then more after Katrina stranded me in Orlando). It wasn't overly hot and the crowds seemed manageable. Now, mid-August of 1988 was a heat wave and miserably hot.

We went for a few days in August last summer. I remember it was hot, humid and definitely showers! Crowds were down which made it much more manageable. Hope this helps!

August can be unbearable, but I think July is worse.
Growing up we always went our one day a year to Disney in August because back then it was the only month they offered FL resident ticket discounts. Obviously as a kid I didn't care how hot it was, we were at Disney.
More recently we went late August/Early September 2007 and I found the weather ok. It was hot, but no where near as bad as our honeymoon and 1 year anniversary July 2005 and then July 2006. It rained a lot one of the days (so much so we had to go get a dryer and dump all our clothes into it), but the rain cooled things off and it felt pretty similar to October of 2010.

Hmmm, hard decision. I love both but I would have to pick Pop because of the bus thing too.
