That place is busy all the time but the heat at this time is tarable. I've been there probably 12 times all different times of the year and I'm from Michigan. Disney is always busy all year. A good time to go would be when school is going if you don't have children in school.

You're picking about the absolutely worst time of the year to go to Orlando. The crowds at Universal and Disney will be pretty much near their peak, probably only eclipsed by Christmas and New Years. The weather will be miserably hot, and humid. It's also still considered peak travel, so you'll be paying top dollar for everything.
Wait a couple of months, if you haven't already purchased non-refundable tickets. The crowds will have dwindled, the weather will be cooler, and the hotels will be cheaper.
Good luck!

I live one hour from Disney. You would not catch me in Disney in the summer months, especially in August when it rains almost every
day with lightning. The best time to go is the first week of November when it;s cooler. If you stay at any of the disney resorts, you get to go in 1 hour earlier that outsiders. If august is your only choice, then I recomend you to get up early, hit the park of your choice and after lunch
go back to your room and go for a swim and relax after it cools down, go back for the evening. Otherwise you will be all burnt out by
the time you see half of the park. You will have more energy if you rest in the afternoon and then stay up later to see the fireworks & parades. I have been to Disney about 20 times, if you want to know anything just ask! JP

The park will be open later to make up for the crowds. I went twice in November and the park closed early, but the crowds were a little smaller. Buy one of the Disney travel books by Birnbaum. It was great.

Just hope you can stand high humidity because it's gonna be hot...really hot with regular downpour & thunderstorms in the afternoon most everyday. Drink plenty of water more than the usual & eat more little meals than big one cuz your digestion will be slow with the heat. And of course remember to bring or buy a good sunscreen lotion... The crowds are very low during August.

As a matter of fact, yes it is.
It is the slow season from now until the last 2 weeks in December, in Florida.
The hotel prices just dropped last weekend and I went on Priceline.com put it that I wanted to stay at a 3 star hotel in the Disney area for $55.00. I stayed at the Sheraton Safari Resort close to downtown Disney for $55.00 per night.
Even the Disney Resorts prices have dropped.
And in most of these places, they have buses that run to and from the Theme Parks at no additional charge. Ours did.
As for the crowds. Saturday is the busiest. But we went to the Magic Kingdom on Monday and the line waits weren't bad. We went to Epcot on Friday and there was no line wait for anything. And this was just last week.

It's gonna be very hot and humid and crowded. The school district I live in has year-round school. They get a 2 week break in October. That's when many families here go to Florida. The weather's much nicer and the crowds are much smaller because most families have kids in school then.

No, the best time to go is after August 25, because all the kids would have gone back to school and the parks are less crowded.

That would be a horrible time to go. You will never sweat so much as you would in August at Disney World. The best time to go to Orlando is Super Bowl Weekend. There is absolutely no one there SuperBowl Sunday. Granted, you'll miss the game, but its so worth it if you are going to spend all the money to come here. Good Luck!

The weather will probably be hot but the crowds are not bad, and now that they have the fast pass at Disneyland it's much easier to ride all the rides. I used to work there and the busy season is the Holidays, Tues or Wed are usually good days to go.
