Okay yes, it is hot. The rain storms are frequent. And the South American groups can be very annoying. But I am here to give you a few great reasons to visit Disney World in the summer.
1. Infrequent tourists do not know the tricks you know " The park attendance is highest in the afternoon. In the morning and the evening, it actually is not that bad. Right around rope drop most families are still in there hotel rooms. And once the nighttime fireworks are over, most will head back even though the park still has a couple extra hours till close. I know a lot you like to go out in the morning, rest up in the hotel, and hit a park a again at night. Summer is the perfect time to do this. Leading to a similar point...
2. The parks often have later hours " couple weeks ago, I ended up riding Space Mountain at midnight exactly. I know the ride was the exact same it has always been, but for some reason this was the most epic trip ever. Sometimes things are just better for some reason late in the evening I think the voices actors at Laugh Floor are as loopy as we are at this point, this is a must do during late nights.
3. Fourth of July " I knew it would have more than the usual Illuminations when I ventured to Epcot on the Fourth this year. But I did not think it could be that different than any other fireworks show. I know I will not be able to convince all of you, but I was so wrong! Some people left after Illuminations was over. I feel for them. Patriotic music blared as people cheered, but at the finale, the sky did not have an empty spot. They were so everywhere. My Dad and I had to cower down a little. There was no doubt this was one of the most crowded nights I have ever had at any Disney Park (Magic Kingdom was packed out for the evening). But I would not have traded it for any other show. Hands down most amazing display I have ever seen. I think this is really something every Disney fan should experience at some point, along with...
4. Sounds Like Summer Concert Series " Disney brings in several bands during the year for their various festivals at the American Adventure Pavilion that are not super big names because the pavilion could not handle crowds that big. But I have been going to see the cover bands this year, and I am simply blown away. Starting with the Journey tribute band, I also went to see The Beach Boys, Boston, and Bee Gees groups. I am most excited about this week and next to hear the music of BonJovi and U2. Many of the actual bands are still performing, but a ticket to their concerts may cost more than a ticket to Epcot. And since many of them are old, they cannot perform with the energy that these cover bands can. So yes, I am saying that these tribute may very well be better than seeing the actual groups live.
So there are four great reasons to visit Disney during the summer. Can you think of any more? I am sure there must be some. Of course many of you would say that there is not a bad time to visit, and I am with you (except for two days when it reaches like twenty degrees). Find some ways to beat the heat, and the summer is still a great time be at Disney.
