I so far was thinking of a trip down there for after xmas but after getting on some websites that is the busiest time there at all the parks. What is it like during July. I heard hot and humid but is that better than the time after xmas.

If you're going between Christmas and New Years or if you're going in July, the parks will be super busy.
It will also be VERY humid in July.
Is there another time you can go?
Early May or in the fall are wonderful times to visit.

The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a good time to go also. Crowds are low and the parks are decorated for the holidays.

I agree, July is the most brutal month here, and the best times I have been to parks has been early November or early December.

That's a great idea to go between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We did that a few times when our kids were little, and it was pleasant weather and not as crowded.

HOT and HUMID, you can expect afternoon and early evening thunderstorms when the Atlantic and Gulf sea breezes clash over the Central part of the state.

The heat and humidity can be absolutely intolerable in July and August. If your only choices are then and between Christmas and New Years I would do the latter. It will be just as crowded, but at least the weather will be tolerable.

Much better if you can go in Jan or Feb - when the weather is pleasant and the park much less crowded.

I'd take huge crowds over huge crowds with heat and humidity any day.

But if you can go between Thanksgiving and a few days before Christmas, or in January, you'll have great weather and far fewer people.
