Most buildings are air conditioned to fuck so if you get too hot just wander into a shop or cafe for a bit

generally hot in the day, then a rain storm in the evening. The lightening they get out there is well worth watching anyway. We found the parks a lot busy then than when we went again in August - but it rained a lot more often in Aug. If it does rain in the day, its only tends to last an hour or two. But jeeeze - it can rain

we had the same when wed booked for Aug two years ago - as you can see from the news now, its september that things generally get worse. It will rain in Aug - generally around 4pm. But when we were there, the american school kids had gone back to school, and the parks were a lot quieter. Then when it does rain, they close the big rides - and thats the time to go for it. The rain generally clears quickly - and the Qs have gone. You can get straight on. It does work in your favour.
Bit sticky though

they tend to miss orlando as it more to the north, so you should have no problams! maybe a have shower!
been in may and july. may was scorching everyday, july was as well but towards the end of the day say, 4 or 5ish there was probably a rainstorm for 20mins once every two days and some thunder at night. you dont really care though because once its finished its boiling again and you didnt know it had even happened.

I have been quite a few times, yes it does rain but, it soon goes off and you will be grateful for it, it does cool you down. Here isome good tips for you.
1) when you get to theme parks, and you go through the main gate, go RIGHT and do the rides that way. For some reason everyone always goes left and the ammount of time you are standing waiting to get on anything is frustrating. A friend told me that tip and it works.
2) take a picture of where you park your hire car i.e I was parked in Mickey Mouse carpark , row 67. It would have took me ages to find the bloody thing cos all the cars look the same.
P.M if you want anything else, and have a fantastic time out there.
All the best you jammy B*****D

fair enough i guess, if theme parks are your bag then it would make sense.

I have lived all 29 years of my life here and I've never been to Disney World or Disney Land. Can't say I ever wanted to go either. Maybe that will change if and when I have kids.
