We're headed down in late August as well. I keep trying to remind the family that posted wait times today don't equal wait times in late August. Remember that right now is one of the busier times of year and while it sucks that people there in June/July didn't have a FP or had to wait in longer lines, late August is historically not as busy and may not be as critical. I actually don't like all the extra planning using FP+ requires. When I'm on vacation, I want to be able to "wing it" a bit more. I don't know what my son is going to be interested in until we get there, or who's ready for a snack/meal and at what time, or who would rather head back to a pool instead of doing 1 more ride. I also don't particularly want to be glued to my phone all day. I can stay at work and do that. I also know that being in Disney is primarily about waiting in lines. Waiting for a ride, waiting for food, waiting for a bus, waiting for a character, waiting for fireworks, waiting to leave the park, it's all waiting. I accept that going in and then it's not so bothersome. I'm sometimes confused by the myriad of posts saying "I (or someone I'm with) can't wait in long lines because of x, y, z" What did you think Disney was? It's like saying I'm deathly afraid of clowns but I'm going to force a trip to the circus anyway. You're not required to put yourself in an uncomfortable situation.
