Weird. We're thinking about a July or August visit so I've been researching a bit and was just reading on a couple of DL blogger sites about best/worst times to visit. They were saying August was less crowded than July, especially mid to late August, and was the better time to go. But you're a local who goes all the time (I think that's correct) and you are seeing the opposite in person. Inclined to believe you since you've had good info warning about October insanity, just confused why they recommend August.
