On the Sunday, I am not sure exactly what you are planning for Boardwalk but there really isn't much that goes on there during the day. it's a nice place to grab an ice cream from Ample Hills or maybe a snack from Boardwalk bakery, but otherwise generally quiet in the daytime. Evening would be much better.

Generally, in August, we plan a lot of early mornings and evenings, we tend to steer clear of the parks in the height of the day and have a rest back at the resort or by the pool. i see you mention that but it looks as though you have plans for every afternoon.

I am curious why Woodbury Commons? They are a bot of a drive from the airports and are Premium Outlets so will have many of the same stores and merchandise as the Orlando Premium outlets. Are you stopping because they are on the way to the Andirondacks and staying nearby? If this is the case, I would consider driving a bit further north and split the drive more. Or do something in the city and then spend the night north of the city.

Pm for us is anytime after 5pm

Woodbury Common: we are stopping here because the boys hate shopping so will be visiting friends of ours who live near by while we go shopping

then both families will drive up to the Adirondacks together

We have a Premium Outlet nearby and Woodbury Commons is very similar both is physical appearance and merchandise. Enjoy your trip to the Adirondacks. When my kids were young we enjoyed hiking and camping there but be forewarned-the drive is boring.

Oh, OK - for most people PM is after noon. In fact, that is pretty much the meaning of PM (post meridiem - past midday)

In which case, you may want to check the closing time of AK during your trip as you aren't likely to get much time there if you are arriving after 5 and it closes at 8.30
