anyone know... will Aug hours be posted BEFORE our ADR time??

 

[DuckMom]

We are going August 19 - 26 to celebrate our 10th Anniversary and staying at POR! We will be taking both sons (6 and almost 3), my mother and my in-laws. I apologize to anyone in advance for any illegal actions on my part in response to my MIL

In all seriousness though, does anyone know when the park hours will be posted. This is our second trip, but the last one was planned very close to when we went, so I didn't make any ADRs. This time, I am hoping to make them at the 180-day mark, but I want to make a dinner reservation at HS the night they have EMH because my boys loved the dance party. It's driving me crazy that I can't find that info yet.

Sweet i found a Aug 2011 thread. Cant wait to battle the heat. We are going Aug 19th to 29th and staying for our first time at POR. This time we arent celebrating anything. Last two times we have.. Including me and my wife getting married there. So it will be nice to do stuff without worrying about anything. It will be me, my wife, and DSS

Hello Fellow August Travellers!!!

We are officially booked at the Poly for Aug 24-Sept 2!!! When I called this weekend to book, I was told that we had a 40% PIN code attached to our name!!! So HAPPY about that!

Is anybody besides me just a little worried about the Heat???

 

[CamrynsDisneyMom]

So we had originally booked w/ free dining but just received a 40% off room only and it saved us almost $200 by using the room code and paying for dining!

 

[justakrazymom]

I'm a little worried about the heat.. hence why I want to add more days so we can take time out to hit the pools without too much worry..

 

[chellewashere]

We went 2 years ago in August. Just make sure you hit up all the QS places to get your free ice water and we bought the fans and stopped all the time to have them fill those up with the ice and water too. It wasnt too bad at all. Had one bad day, but thats cause my DH decided we had to do the Tom Sawyer island in the middle of the afternoon and that about killed me never ever again!!

Congrats on the great Pin code!

This will be our 5th trip during August/September. We drink a lot of water and it isn't hard to find air conditioning when we need it. We have the spray fans that Disney sells, although I think the smaller ones from Walmart would be better since we no longer have a stroller to store all our junk in. I don't really like the heat, but it must not bother me that much since we keep going back in August!

Add us to the list!

We will be at POP Aug. 10 to Aug. 21 for our honeymoon.
It's going to be our second trip, both of which have been during the same time, so we are not too worried about the heat. We know we can handle it.

We had scheduled a trip to the Beach Club and when the rates came out they were more then we expected, so we canceled and decided to go to Myrtle Beach. We have now worked on the numbers and we are surprising the kids with a Disney Trip! Nobody thinks I can keep the secret, but I am trying really hard. They think we are going to the beach, but when we get to the Georgia Line, we will hand them their books we made for them. The cover page is about the hotel we were going to stay at at the Beach, but when they turn the page it will tell them about their trip to Disney and our stay at POP!

Hi! I have three children that will be 9, 6.5 and almost 3 when we go in August. We are hoping to stay at POP too...but are still trying to decide on how many days we need to do Animal Kingdom, Epcot and MK (we want to do 2 days for MK we think) with one day of pool. We are hoping to book 8/13-8/20. Any good tips?

Im very new to this WDW planning thing...what is a RO code?

Hey Lizzy!!!

I'll join in!!! I don't have an official ticker yet because we not exactly certain of our dates but we are PLANNING on being at the POLY August 24-Sept 1 2011 for our youngest DD's 8th birthday!!! We are waiting on a really GREAT RO code to come out!!!

 

[3sweetkids]

IM so excited to be on this site with all of you veterans and I hope you dont get sick of all of my questions!

We are on a tighter than most budget due to my middle daughter's medical needs (she has a pacemaker and a feeding tube) so we are trying to find the best deal. I had originally posted that we were going to stay at POP, but do you think that other places might be as inexpensive, say FW?( I only ask b/c I am curious about the cabins etc.)


I think we are past window for free dining?
ANy advice??


THanks in advance
Tracey

We did an August trip with DH's family a 3 years ago, so we know what we're up against. Hey, if nothing else, Fort Wilderness is shady, right? Besides, I've always wanted to see the Hoop-de-Doo, and this will be the perfect opportunity for that!
