[radiatorsprings]

I will be going from July 23-28, with my actual days in the park being the 23, 25, 26, and 27. I will also be staying at the Hojo.

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

We'll be at HOJO's the 24th thru 31st ... our flight is early on Sunday, 8/1. We are still in the planning stages of what days we will be in the Parks.

 

[Mazzy]

Yippee, a thread for July visitors!

I'm going to be there with DD, 20, on a Girly Trip from the UK. Staying at HOJOs, dates not set in concrete yet, but somewhere around the 12-18th.

This will be our second visit to Disneyland, we went 3 years ago, but are going to stay longer this time to really enjoy it at a slower pace.

At least you've got the most important part planned: when you'll be there!! I've got you added as well.

I love getting a head start. And I love seeing that we're all at the HOJO so far. Hopefully some of us can snag the entertainment rate. I'm kiiping my fingers crossed, I'll tell you that. I've got you added, and if you need your dates changed at all, just let me know and I'll get you all fixed. Looks like we may have some overlapping days.

 

[DisneyMomma81]

Yes I am ~ and DD is tagging along, we'll be there for her 7th B~day! Our dates are 7/3 (maybe the 2nd) through 7/6, for now we're booked @ Motel 6. If we can find a Give a Day project that'll work for us we'll do it, I think I've signed up for one *assuming I did it correctly* but I haven't heard anything??

It may take a few days - when did you express your interest? It took a little more than 5 days before I heard back from the organization I'm volunteering with. They are getting a lot of responses, so it's easy to figure they may be a little back logged. You could always try giving them a call if you haven't heard anything for more than 5 days.

And I'm getting you added!

 

[AliciaS]

Woo-hoo! We are going 7/12-7/17 (actually going to the parks just the 13th-16th) and staying at DLH!

Envious! I would love to stay on site, but there's no way I could afford it. Getting you added now.

I'm doing a happy dance I finally finished my last TR so I can focus solely on this July and trip planning now.

 

[DizNee Luver]

The plan is for HoJo July 25 thru August 3!!!

Too bad we didn't go with the later dates we were considering, we may have seen you there!

 

[amym2]

We'll be there July 6-10, also at the HOJO!

 

[DizNee Luver]

I would have loved that!!!

 

[BigDogMom7]

We are arriving on 7/13 and staying until 7/20. Have ressies in a 1 BR GCV - can't wait!

 

[radiatorsprings]

We (the bf and I) decided to cut a day off the end of our stay so we can save on the hotel, we'll just leave for home after a day of Disney. Hopefully I won't be too tired to drive.

So it'll be 7/23-7/27 for me, still at the Hojo though, can't wait! It'll be our first time staying there.

 

[deedeetoo]

We'll be at the HoJos from July 2-5, going to the parks on the 3,4 and 5. This will be our family's second trip to DL. The first trip was 5 years ago. My Mom will be joining us and she hasn't been to DL since the 1960's.

 

[Belle Ella]

Anyone think they might be interested in any meet-ups? Keep an open mind. I'll try and plan at least one that I can make during our stay when I know more about what the entertainment schedules will be like. And I get to make a brand new LGMH which makes me smile.

I would love to stay at the GCV (or even the GC period, TBH). I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Have you already changed your reservation? You may want to cancel that last day a little later to see if the entertainment rate at the HoJo comes up for your stay. If you haven't yet, keep track of this page - http://www.hojoanaheim.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14 - where the dates will be posted. Depending on what room you booked your rate can go as low as $59/night. Just a thought.

You'll be there for the 4th of July I heard last year wasn't as crowded. I wonder if/how much different it will be this year.

BTW, I got everyone added

Yeah, I've been checking the Entertainment dates at least once a week waiting for them to get to July. I booked a November stay at the Entertainment rate last year but had to cancel because I could no longer go. We just decided to cut off a hotel night because we are planning on getting APs and we figured we were going to have a lot of time to spend in the park within the next year.

 

[pigby]

We will be there as well - staying for 14 nights at the HoJo - Jul 9th to Jul 23rd

Ah, gotcha! I have to say, I am seriously thinking I may upgrade to an AP at the end of our stay. I know I want to try and get one more trip in early next year (and I'm still crossing my fingers that I can make something happen for Halloween this year). I was looking at the blackout days for the DAP to see if that would be a deciding factor and now I'm really considering it.

Wow, 14 nights, how cool. How many days will you be doing in the Parks? What else will you be doing in SoCal?
