Looks like Orange County returns to school on August 20th. The summer crowds seem to be a mix of all the school across the US. Crowds do tend to diminish the later in August you go to Disney.

We start here in Tampa August 21st. I have definitely found these last few years that the last week in August you do see a drop in crowds, although you still have to consider Labor Day. September is still my favorite month regarding crowds, but it's still quite hot.

I love going in September after Labor Day . I went once years ago an did everything twice at MK inside of 90 mins . Only draw back is hurricane season .

It varies by county (there are 67 counties).
But August 20 or 27 is the norm.

That's what I'm counting on! We booked this year Aug 26 to Sept 2 for that reason. I'm hoping a good part of the country is back to school by then. My kids don't start until Sept 5 this year, 3 days after we get back. I know it will be hot, but we went in July last year and managed just fine so I think we will be ok in that area. Hopefully crowd wise it all works out for us

We are booked for the same week. I went in 2010 for the third week of August when the southern schools were back in session and the crowds were down, as compared to when I was there in July and at Spring Break. Bonus was the weather wasn't actually bad, it was upper 80s. It was actually hotter back home in NJ.
We had a good experience then, plus with the free dining, so we booked for this year for the same time.

We did both last year and I would say the crowds in late August were a bit lower, it was especially noticeable at DHS. We didn't see as many groups either during August. Doing it again this year and hoping for the same.

I'm meeting my brother, sis in law, and two children on Sunday August 26, and looking forward to it. This is the first time ever, we have gotten to get together at Disney. Should be fun.
Keep smiling and Have a magical day!!!
It's all good.
We love to serve fun, food, and deliciousness.

Different counties/cities school systems start on different dates. Most school systems in the south now start well before Labor Day, now that schools have A.C. We live in Georgia and our county starts school on August 1. So, the later in August you visit, the more kids will be back in school.
