DL in July...Advice needed

[hardingk]

I know this is a vague question but I am looking for any advice!!

We will be visiting So. Cali in July and plan on visiting DL from July 6 - 8. Right now we have reservations at GCH through our DVC points. We are looking for any deals on park tickets or even a package if we can get a good rate. There are 3 adults and an 11mo. I am also looking for ideas on dining venues to make reservations. We are avid WDW lovers and visit there several times a year, so we are seasoned to Disney!

Any advice, ideas are greatly appricated!!

coming in July, my advice is invest in a case of water each day!!

Food wise: I made PS for Ariel's Grotto for lunch (I have a princess in training). I have been there before (2 years ago) and we all had a great time. My DD had Aurora in a 10min. conversation!! The food was ok, I hear it has gotten better.

Blue Bayou is another PS I made. Yes, pricey but I always budget it in. So we eat PB and J for lunch, oh well!!! I love the atmosphere, the service was good when we went last, and the food was yummy!!

I had to do Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast also. I have not gone yet but the pics of the food I have seen on this board was salviating!!! The price was nice too.

In DTD we always go to Rainforest Cafe, the kids absolutely love this place and the food is always delicatable.

On our MM days we have breakfast at River Belle Terrace. the potatos are great and it's nice to sit outside on the patio like Walt Disney did back in the day!!

I know the DL is doing a deal with 5 days for the price of 3, check into that to see if that will work for your family.
Enjoy!!!!

Welcome to the DLR board. I agree with Charmama's post.


Early July will be busy, but the time change is your friend.

- Go to DL early each day & tour & collect FPs (for later).
- Hop to DCA for a ride or two (& pick up a FP)
- Take a mid day rest at the GCH (just a few steps away) & return to
- Either DCA and/or DL each afternoon/evening with the FPs that you collected earlier.
