must be crazy but heading to Florida in this heat

[buckhound]

somehow the wife  persuaded me ( she predicted a long cold lonely winter ) to take the the family to disney . dont get me wrong I dont mind going but not in this heat ....

Take a day and go fishing. It will save the trip. LoL

[TJS]

Took a number of trips there, but not in summer.  Always to go in summer. I wanted to try it to avoid some crowds.  Late August is supposed to be a good time to go.  Be busy in early morning and late in the day.  May be a good trade for a fall hunt getaway.

Enjoy the trip!

I just got back from Universal studios last week with the kids. It was 90+ every day but with the afternoon daily rain it would be bring a cool breeze before and cool the afternoon down. It wasn't bad at all but be ready for the 3-4:00 down pour. Only lasts an hour or so. 

We'd stay at the park till the clouds started to build and the winds started. We'd leave and get dinner in downtown Disney now Disney Springs. So while it rained we ate. Try the boat house and Murimotto in downtown. Awesome food. But $$$$. We used to like Ragglin Road irish place but the food has slipped. When the  rain stopped we'd go back to the parks till it closed and watched fireworks. 

If your looking to rest forget about it. But its for the kids so that's why you there. Been there 5 yrs straight. I'm done. Need a new place

Been down there in July before with the kids.  We always went to the parks right at opening time until lunch time and then back to the camper,(Fort Wilderness Campground), and pool for the rest of the day.  If you are staying in Disney you can take advantage of some of the parks opening an hour early on certain days.   We love it there, but I would not be caught in those parks in the afternoon and evening, they are packed.   Have fun.

Safe travels!!!  How hot is it down there in the summer!??  Went down in summer as a kid to gram's and fished her senior community's ponds for bass n catfish.....but I don't remember the heat being an issue!  Lol

 I hope your wife is right about that long cold winter.

I just got back from Disney with the family it was just as hot there as it was in jersey. I also took my  nephew fishing with a guide for 2 hours while we were there it was allot of fun he had a good time.

If you are at the Wilderness Lodge, go for a walk or rent a bike and go down the bike/walking trail that goes over to Ft. Wilderness Campground.  If you go in the evening you may see a lot of deer.  We did.

They have a little zoo, and pony rides at the Fort Wilderness Campground also.  The "Hoop  De Do Review" ,  was also one of the best things we did  at Ft. Wilderness Campground. Not sure if you can still get tickets.

Happiest Place on Earth?? Not for me! Went in May with daughter's band. It was painful. The things we do for kids! John is right, take a day and fish

[Batsto]

Perfect time to go. Florida kids are heading back to schools. Say hello to Snow White for me and have fun!  Go to the Hoopty Do Revue and get some Bear Jokes for our Governor.
