Anyone got experience of going through Virgin (holidays not anything else....)? I'm sure the parks will be heaving and mega hot/sweaty!
We've been in just about every month and the best time to go is April/May as it's fairly warm but not unbearable. October/November can also be very warm. I would avoid June/July as it's school Summer Holidays over there and, as you say, the parks are packed. Not only that but the last time we went in June it was 105 degrees by 11am and it was unbearable going out in the day. July is the same. The kids go back to school beginning of August over there so the parks will be quieter then but it will still be extremely hot. The parks are always fairly busy as there are always lots of school trips at all the attractions including the water parks but if you avoid the school holidays above then queueing times are minimal. Always take your own food and drinks to the parks as it is very expensive to buy once you are in. Security will search your bags at every park entrance, this is standard practice but they are fine with you taking your own food and drinks in.
Anything you want to know about anything in particular just ask.

I could change my opinion, but then we'd both be wrong.
