This August we'll be headed to Disneyworld for our third year in a row. This year our son is 8 and our daughter 5. WE'll be staying at our favorite hotel the Wilderness Lodge. The past two years we've always gone in July. The parks were open later and there were 2 extra magic hour nights in MK (Sunday and Friday). This year we arrive on August 24th and we'll be headed home on the 30th. We've heard from so many people that the crowds are much lighter and wait times are less. But we're so used to going to one park in the am, heading back to the hotel and resting, swimming and going back for the night. MK closes at 10 most of the week. Has anyone gone this time of year that can give me suggestions on how to pace the day or something to do after the parks close? Our kids love the late nights, they are used to 7:15 and 8pm bed times an so staying out late at the park is extra magical for them. And are there much lighter crowds or will the differnce go unnoticed. Any advice would be great.
