How about Disneyland instead? California summers aren't near as hot as FL. I'm definitely partial to WDW, but Disneyland + nicer SoCal weather is a decent compromise.
I have been trying to find another place to be, and nothing comes close. We have been to the world multiple times, so the must do items would be minimal. FOP for them, slinky dog for all, and an amazing dinner for my day. I would also love to go on caring for giants if it is still happening. Everything else would be frosting. Oh no. Now I am really starting to dream. I can almost smell it...Would you be willing to tour differently than you usually do? Would your husband and daughter go back to the hotel at the hottest parts of the day (or whenever they just can’t take it anymore) and let you stay in the parks? I think it depends on how you look at the trip. Is it an extra birthday bonus or does it have to be one where you cram as much in as possible? I’d there somewhere else you’d enjoy spending your birthday just as much?
I think you could have a terrific birthday trip to WDW if you don’t expect it to be the same as every other trip. I also think you could have a fantastic birthday trip somewhere else if you aren’t wishing you were in Disney.
My dream is to be in the magic kingdom on my 50th birthday in mid-august, but my husband and daughter can't take the heat and humidity of Orlando. We have never gone in the summer but did visit during a very hot and humid May. My husband has bravely told me to book and he will make it work. We have a 7 day two family trip coming up late fall of 2020. We live in upstate New York with humid summers but nothing like florida. Should I just wait until 2020 or go for it in August 2019 too?
