July 21 - 31, 2010 Least Crowded Parks
[Updtd June 24, 2010: Lots of double MSEP's & Fantasmic's!] ALL of my guests, regardless of their EMH eligibility, should use these itinerary advice charts for planning their July 21 - 31, 2010 mornings and evenings. Yes, this is the busy summer season, and yes, Florida is a hot & humid place to visit in July. We can't control any of that. What we can take charge of, however, is which parks we visit on which days and nights of your vacation. Plan and tour the parks like I do and you'll have a great, fantastic, memorable experience. Yes, it really is that simple. ;>)

August 1 - 10, 2010 Least Crowded Parks
