Orlando in July or ideas for Holidays elsewhere?

[philv]

Hi,

After a wonderful holiday in Orlando with all tne parks, water parcs and everything else there is to do, we would love to come back in July.

Doable with tne humidity/heat/extra crowds?
We mainly go out in tne morning and evening.
Pool, or relax during the day.

Or has anyone any reccomendations for places to go that the kids will also love (lots to do for tnem) in July?

Could be usa or even europe or?
Something a little easier with tne climate than Orlando in tne summer?
We love tne water parks.
And the kids love snorkling, so somewhere superb for snorkling for kids might be an idea.

Thank you.

With all US schools on holiday from mid June through to September you are likely to find the parks very busy, hot and humid. Have been to Florida approx 50 times only once in July and never again. Had a property there but avoided July/August like the plague.

If you aim for the last week or two in August, there will likely be less groups of Brazilian school-kids trying to push in front of you in the queues. Still very very hot and humid and with regular very heavy downpours every afternoon.

I've been to Orlando twice, once in September and once in October. Weather is still hot, but comfortable. My lass has been around 5 times and has also mentioned that the South Americans have very little manners.

Aquatica is a great water park to go to, but by the time you go, Universals new water park 'Volcano Bay' will be open. Around this time of year all the parks have relatively short wait times with the exception of Disney which is still hours wait for every ride and I'd imagine this would be worse in Summer with tourism at its peak.

It was 96 degrees here yesterday and predicted to be just as warm today and it's not even May yet.

This^^^^^

We have place out there, and would avoid as above. Crowds and humidity can be maddening.

It's hot enough now it's already been mid 30's this week

Added to which, we haven't had a significant rain here since early October, so coupled with current breezy conditions, the whole state is a bit of a tinder-box.
The water level in the lake chain where I live is down 7 feet on this time last year.

For the sake of clarity, the rest of Florida is quiet during July and well worth a visit.
