We went July into August last year. The queues were fine really, we planned the day so we got to the parks just on opening time and we had rode Everest 4 times by 10am. The queues get longer as the days were on, I think the longest we waited was for Peter Pan ride in MK and it was around an hour. The earlier bird get the worms[msnwink]

Hi,
I went in July last year and found the queues in Universal to be quite long. 45 - 60 mins for Jaws, 60 mins for Simpsons, 60 mins for Spiderman etc. We bought express passes the second day we visited Universal Studios and thought they were great, really worth the money.
The queues are fine if it's all adult's but my son was only five and found it quite long, boring and very tiring in the queues.

Hi Claire,
We went on the 22nd July last year for 2 weeks having been previously twice in May and once in February. I've got to say that having been outside of main holiday season the last 3 times somewhat spoilt us but we knew it would be busy in July. During the period that we were there in July I've got to be honest the queues for some of the big rides at the Disney parks such as Everest, Aerosmith's Rock n Roller Coaster etc were upwards of an hour, even two in the late afternoon. As a previous poster suggests you need to get there early and make use of the fast pass system. We're off again in October and going back to Universal this time.
KH
The queues are a lot less during October except for the public holiday weekend and that week.
