You’ve probably missed out on any good dining reservations.

July is typically one of the most crowded months

The parks are going to be even more crowded with toy story land opening at the end of June

It will be hot, you will be unhappy if you don’t plan.

If not staying on property, good luck getting decent fast passes.

Recommendation, if kids aren’t school age, is to look up a crowd calendar. Find a week that will be light to moderate and plan on going then.

Disney Land wouldn’t be too bad. SoCal is always 72 and sunny.

Disney World in July? You’re going to melt.

If nobody has mentioned it yet, July is the rainy season in central Florida. It will rain on you, cooling it down to 85 for about half an hour, then heat right back up with oppressive humidity.

Keep your cash or card handy so that you can pay a case price for 1 bottle of water when you, or someone in your party almost passes out from the heat.

The last two times we went, we left the day the kids got out of school, so about May 23rd. The weather was great, no huge crowds to complain about, and it was Star Wars weekend at Hollywood Studios, both times.

Louisiana is one of the first states to let school out for summer, so its right before the big rush. We also used the crowd calendar to pick which parks to hit on which days.

So you went during the school year and think that's relevant to asking about July.

Your best option at the point is to chop one of your legs off with a chainsaw a couple of days before you are scheduled to leave. It’s the only thing that can save you from the total hell that is Disney in July.

I was kidding. I live about 10 mins from Disney Land. It would be miserably hot then.

If you are even considering it you are too dumb to save.

A bazillion degrees in line with a bazillion others. Screaming kids. All for too much money.

I am not anti Disney, but brah you gotta make better choices

We went back at the end of March and it was cold enough to require wind breakers.
5th year in a row we've gone and it was the most pleasant of all of them. I hope it's like that again next year at the same time but it probably not going to be.

Better to be too cold than too hot.
