    We went last year in July - had to really as the only time we had available with the kids and school.WE did find it a bit more hectic than other times we had been but still managed to get loads done. We then went in January and it was bliss. Great weather and a lot less people.

    I have to say, we went with the WHOLE clan one August and had no trouble with lines. We were there when the park opened and hit the good rides first, fast passed long lines. For lunch we went back to the Villa for a swim and some downtime. AND since the parks were open a little later-headed back everyday around 4 to enjoy the afternoon and more rides.

    For those of you that don't know me-this was with 6 children in tow.

    Always go in July/August (wifes a teacher) also been a couple of times in October. Like the heat so that is no problem and never noticed it being busy especially compared with October.

    We have managed to do IOA (and doing some rides multiple times) in under 5 hours during August, if you get there when the parks open and plan your day you should have no problems what so ever.

    I always go in July/August and its my absolute favourite time, not that there are any bad times to go though.

    I love the warmer mornings and evenings in the Summer, great for swimming, and find the heat easy to cope with because of all the air conditioning absolutely everywhere unlike here when the heat can become quite oppressive. There is never too much of a queue given that there are around 6 weeks for people to spread out their holidays and as the parks are open much longer hours it gives you a viable morning or afternoon/evening option rather than having to spend all day there. Given any choice of months July/August would always be my first choice.

    We visit every July and August.We don't find the queues too bad. If you try and plan your days and arrive early you can usually see most of the rides and do them again later in the day.

    Disney are very proficient in moving people, it is their job and even when the queues are longer there is usually something else to do.

    We actually noticed last Year how quiet it was in August and manged to do everything we wanted.

    Going again this July so can't be bad can it.

    The parks usually have longer opening times in the "summer" months as well so this also helps.

    Basically I think Florida is best in any Month !!!

    It logically has to be July and August really as that is when the schools are off. The week around Xmas can also be very busy but a magical time and a must for us. Any month is a great month to visit, you just got to plan it right[8D] and that is why the forum is a great place to research.

    We always go in the summer and Christmas as we still have a daughter at school. She and I just love the summer when you can almost smell the heat, long balmy days and the cool down showers in the afternoon, just like when we lived in Singapore when I was a teenager.

    The parks are open longer and you can get there early hit all the big rides, come back to your villa for lunch and a laze by the pool and go back for the early evening and see the parades and fireworks. Perfect day if you ask me. And if you go shopping you really appreciate the air-conditioning both in the car and the shops!

    At Christmas there is one manic week where everywhere is heaving but it is a magical time and very special for anyone who celebrates Christmas.

    It is always July/August and Christmas for us too as these are our longest school holidays. We don't have any problems with queues, as others have said you just need to plan your day
