August rates 4.0 of 5, good. Hot and wet; crowds thin once schools go back.
Hot and wet; crowds thin once schools go back. The planner rates every month on three things that can be measured: Orlando's 30-year weather normals, Disney's own date-based prices (Disney charges more when it expects more people), and the posted price of Lightning Lane. August comes out good.
Average high 92°F, average low 75°F, 15 days a month with measurable rain (NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals, Orlando International). Expect a daily afternoon storm; plan indoor rides for 2 to 4 pm. Pack for heat: the parks are hotter than the airport reading.
Summer peak (06/15 to 08/15) is a typical period. Late summer and September lull (08/16 to 09/30) is a quiet period. Special events this month: After Hours - Hollywood Studios (2 nights), After Hours - EPCOT (3 nights). Party nights close Magic Kingdom early to day guests.
