Likely days to go would be Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday afternoon, with Tuesday and Wednesday after Magic Kingdom being most likely as they are relatively short, morning-only days.
Some tips found on web:
- Typhoon Lagoon - If all of the chairs seem to be claimed, try one of the completely shaded areas near Shark Reef on the far side of the park. Families gravitate to the children's area, but it's just as easy to claim a chair or table in this secluded and quiet area and run off to the slides and attractions (FYI this is back right of park from entrance)
- Both parks have Premium Beach Chair Space that include 2 lounge chairs, umbrella, cocktail table and 2 towels. Limit is up to four people; if more, a second reservation is needed. Reserve in advance by calling 407-WDW-PLAY. Cancellation without penalty must be no later than 9:00 am the day prior to reservation. These are available on a same day basis if there are any locations left (check at High 'N Dry Towel Company). Cost is $40 plus tax and must be paid at time of reservation.
- Generally the parks start to clear out in the afternoon, such that arriving at 3pm and staying till park closes at 5pm might work fine
- Beach or water shoes HIGHLY recommended
- You can bring in your own drinks and lunch to cut back on food costs
