Expected crowd levels in August have dropped!

We use Touring Plans mainly for their wait times - it's far more accurate than Disney's.

Oh no! I got the same for July and was feeling optimistic!

We went last couple of weeks of August three years ago and it was much more bearable than I expected. We were even very lucky with the weather - didn’t get caught in rain once.

This year we’re going last week July / first week August and I’m dreading it!

Had the same notification, keeping my fingers crossed that we will enjoy some quieter than average days.

I have a feeling the week commencing 5/8 will also be fairly quiet, we arrive on the 13/8 and I was trying to change a BoG breakfast have had no luck for my dates as of yet, but there is lots of availability for the week before.

Hmmmm having a quick scan around I am suspecting maybe something going on. July/Early Aug you can get breakfast no probs but then your week and a few weeks afterwards there is nothing for anything that I tried. I wonder if they are shutting it for a bit to do a quick refurb as it seems odd (just speculating) either that or it's going to be mad and is just really busy.

I hope you’re right we are there the same time as you 😁

I can even get Cinder's breakfast on the days we are going so something isn't right. I really can't see why it would be busy going on last year unless people are booking hoping for soft openings at star wars but even then can't see that many people doing that.

Really hope this is right, we arrive 3rd for almost 5 weeks 😀 would love for it to be quieter than expected.

Only bit I’m worried about is the last few days when GE opens. We have a cruise then back to wdw on 31/8 for 2 nights. That will likely be mad busy, almost wishing we’d known about GE before adding these extra days on. We’ll make the most of it though, staying at GF so easy access to MK and we could just enjoy the pools If too busy.

31/8 will probably be busy but not just because of GE but it is Labor Day Weekend so bound to be busier anyways.

And 5 weeks WOW! And GF, did you win the lottery?

We were there last summer, end of July to mid-August and it was certainly manageable. By the second week, most of the Americans were going home leaving a lot of Brits in the parks.

I think this year will be even quieter
