First ever August Trip, What to expect?

[FSnug]

Always been August middle to end due to DS in education. The secret of Disney is planning to make the most of it. Yes it rains, some of the storms are spectacular but don a poncho and carry on. It’s all part of the fun - and a lot of people do give up at the first sign of rain. The heat and humidity it pretty extreme but completely manageable with cold drinks, plenty of water, the odd ice cream, fans etc. I am sure you will have a fabulous time whatever the weather!

Hi,
We book every August, we usually book the last 2 weeks as the local children are all back in school.
We have never experienced really big queues on any of the rides with the exception of King Kong last year.
You'll be fine.

We usually go Xmas time and haven't Been for 7 years... we have booked to go again this August 2 adults 3 kids 16-31 Aug , I'm going to invest in cool towels and this may seem like a silly question how's do I get fast passes? I'm going to be booking universal ticket sales and disney tickets very soon...

Set up an account with Disney (app on Android or iOS, or through the website), link your tickets and then do fast passes online at 60 days out if staying on property, or 30 days out if not.

I keep thinking that but then I think this could start getting silly and I think my husband would divorce me.

We ve already ended up booking a night in airport hotel before we fly!
