It's been a while since we've been to Disney World (January 2020, so pre-Covid). My MIL now works for Disney, and she gets comp hopper passes, and so we're planning a short trip for 2024. We are thinking late August, since it seems to be lower crowds. We're in SC, so it's hot and humid here in August (high 90s), and I don't think weather will be too much difference for Orlando at that time. I think the Food and Wine festival at Epcot also occurs around then. Can anyone give any insight as to a late August trip? Are crowds lower at this time? (You would think, with kids back in school...) Anything else to be aware of? Is this the time of year that it rains a lot? It would be a really quick trip... just 2 park days (1 day Epcot, 1 day MK/HS). TIA!
Also, since this is an addition to all other trips already booked for next year, we're trying to do it as cheaply as possible. Has anyone stayed in either the Hyatt lake buena vista, or Hyatt Place I-Drive? It looks like these are the lowest point redemptions in the area. We would hardly be at the hotel anyways. Any thoughts? Or we may be able to get a really good rack rate on a Disney value resort even, if this is a really slow time of year.
