Possible August 2017 Trip

I've been going back and forth with the idea of going the 3rd week of August(the week of the 20th). I know it will be hot. I can deal with that. But how are the crowds? I check different web sites and they say 4-5 out of 10 for crowd intensity. I know a lot of the southern states are usually heading back to school. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

That's a great time to go. Room rates and crowds are typically a little lower.

We've been many times third week of August and have always thought it to be a better time to go in summer.

We typically go the 3rd week in August each year, as I work in a school and vacation times are limited for me. That said, the second half of August is still hot but the rain storms have usually lessened by then. The crowd levels are better than the fall now. We are able to wait in line, without fast passes, for many of the popular rides.

To deal with the heat, we hit the parks early as they open, do our 3 fast passes, reserve another fast pass for late afternoon, then go back to our resort to rest, eat, and cool off in the pool.
We go back to the parks after 4/5:00, have dinner and see what other fast passes we can get. We have park hopper passes and just go where the crowds may not be. For the time being, late August is the best option for us.

We went late august 2015, lines and crowds very not bad at all, and an overall improvement from the other summers times.
