Best Deal in August?

[canada1414]

Hey everyone, we're going in late August and did not get a free dining pin, but we have kids stay and play free. Is this going to be the best offer or will something else be released soon? Thanks

Thanks, we figured it out and it's cheaper to do the kids stay and play free. Hopefully it won't be as busy without general free dining

I've been the last few years for the week leading up to and including the Labour Day weekend and have found the crowds quite reasonable. The heat is the bigger issue, but it's manageable.

Morgan and I arrive on the 27th of August.

The crowds are usually fine in mid to late August. I agree the heat is the bigger issue, but it's not an issue for everyone. When the heat is up, head to a pool or go for ice cream!

I have never had an issue with crowds late august, yes the free dining did make an impact but as normal use EMH and fast passes wisely and you should be just fine.... Go ahead and book your kids play/stay free and then if free dining does come out then work the numbers...
But I would definately get the trip insurance for Hurricane protection...
