We're going in mid-Aug too! I know it's going to be brutal, but...after the summer we had last year in the Northeast, I can take anything. I had friends from Florida here and they couldn't wait to get back to the south!!! I figure that with the pools, water-parks, a/c and lots of water, we should be fine!! We will also do the parks in the early morning until lunch time. Then go back to resort and eat, swim, relax. Then back to the parks for the evening. Can anyone tell me how late the parks are open the 3rd week in Aug?? I never paid attention in the past since we have always been there in late Oct!! I'm hoping they're open pretty late.
