July 2010; Who else is planning this far ahead?

[Guzzi]

for financial reasons job worries, etc,... we decided not to go to disney this summer. After walking away from a car accident in which my 1 month old car was totaled I decided that life is too short and I am going to begin planning our next trip to WDW

This will be our fourth trip to WDW, each time we flew jet blue. I think this time we are going to drive. We live in the Syracuse NY area and I figure it is a two day drive. I have a friend who is driving back to Syracuse as I type from WDW and I will ask him how the driving was. If anyone has any advise on the drive I would appreciate it.

We will have to decide what hotel to stay in this time. On our previous trips we stayed at CBR and CSR. We loved both resorts, but found CSR fit us better and the last two trips were made to there. Im not sure where we will stay in 2010, dont know if we will just save air fare $ or put those dollars into a delux resort, time will tell.

I have to start a new countdown clock for our trip, thats kinda my offical first step.

We are hoping to be there July 2010

We will be driving too but from Jersey. We plan to stop one night. From what I have read on the Dis, leaving on a Sat or Sunday is the best as far as less traffic.

We will probably go back to POP (last time was 2007) but someone in my family is causing a ruckus and wants to go to All Star Music for their Mickey waffles Wonder if they still make them?

I wonder when we can book the hotel?

I'm planning for next June 30th to July 9th. Although,those dates could be moved 1 week up or back,we are DEFINITELY going to WDW for 10 days!!!!!!!
I'm trying to figure out what will be better;the week before the 4th or after the 4th. Also,because we stay at the Dolphin,I'm looking into what convention will be at the hotel when we are. This is VERY important!

Well, I am planning for June 2010. it's not July but close. It's nice to know I am not the only one who plans this far out. We have not been since 2004 so I am super excited.

Hi everyone....
I'm happy to see that I am not the only crazy one planning a trip for next July
We are looking at flying down June 29 and staying at either the Swan or Dolphin for a week, then maybe hopping on a cruise from Port Canaveral. We will be celebrating my son's birthday (and mine too). I already have lots of surprises planned for him.......I just love the planning stage, it's half the fun!
Happy planning everyone!
Erin

after our disney honeymoon we are hoping a cruise from Canaveral!

 

[figment95]

Count me in! We are hoping to do a 3 day cruise from Port Canaveral and 6 days at DW. (If the economy will cooperate) We want to go in July but we're not sure which week. I think I want to avoid July 4th. DH and I are trying to suprise the kids. I hope I can keep a secret for a year.

 

[disneysnob]

Oh my goodness....There are more 'crazies' like me out there!!!!!!
My Kids begged to go this year, but we've gone the past 3 summers, so we thought we'd try something new. Just got back from DC and Busch Gardens, Williamsburg-and although we had a really good time...it JUST WASN'T DISNEY.
We are looking forward to next summer-we usually go last week of June, first week of July...Let's get the planning started!!!!!

 

[canadaman]

I am looking into July 2010 as well. My wife is a little un-decided though at this point. Last year we took our first ever trip from Ontario it was a 24 hour drive. We are looking at flying from Buffalo next time. I am not sure of dates yet it will depend on when my 2 week holiday at work falls next July.

Happy planning everyone

 

[Mommytobree]

We are going end of June 2010. I have not decided yet if I am staying 1 week at Disney and then renting a Villa in Orlando for a week to go to Universal and Seaworld-or If I am going to just do 10 days at Disney. Not sure yet. I think we are driving down from Mass next year. Can't wait till August so I can book it!

 

[MagicPrincess]

Me Me Me!!!!

We're planning a trip for July 2010!!!

We plan to surprise the kids Christmas morning and tell them we're going to Disney! I don't know how much longer I can keep it a secret, though! Everytime DD walks into the office and sees me on some Disney site I have to hurry hide the page!

After we tell them, we're going to let them help plan the rest of the vacation (where to eat and so forth).

We really hope to stay at the new Bay Lake Towers! Hopefully Disney is going to have some GREAT offers for next year- like the 4/3 deal again! That would be awesome!!!

 

[ugadog99]

Yep, we are. We will be making our fourth July trip in 2010. It will be our third July 4th trip. We love Disney on the 4th! For this trip, I'd like to be able to afford the Poly, but all that will depend on codes!

 

[Zuzu03]

DD is graduating June 2010 and we're heading to Disney! June 24 - July 5! Staying at the Dolphin, then the Poly, then renting a house. Can't wait!

This is my very first post on the boards. I've been lurking since my trip planning for our first trip in August 08!

We are going June into July 2010. I am so sad to not be going this summer! Meanwhile, I am engrossed in Disney planning (at least until the end of August when I return to teaching.)

 

[sfbank]

Welcome Disneydreamingdebby Count us in again for our annual trip. Will be our first July trip though. Leaving June 28th and coming back on July 6th. Staying with our other "family" at the BWI Will see Nascargirl and her DH again. DD is bringing another friend so it will be a good time as usual. Can't wait!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Thanks, SFBank; I am excited to be here! I would love to hear from those of you that regularly visit in mid-June to early July. I am curious about your crowd experience. Obviously, I have read crowd level reports, but hearing personal accounts (or reading about crowds if anyone can provide me trip report links) would be better!

Welcome disneydreamingdebby! I'm doing the same thing until we start back up again in August! I really SHOULD be working on digitalizing all of my lessons, like I said I was going to. Ah well, this is far more fun!!

Hey There!!! Just got back from WDW July 7th to the 15th. We stayed at the GF and it was 70% FULL. Thats what all the CMs where telling us. We travel once a year to WDW and this was the lowest crowd experience we ever saw. The popular rides in the parks where crowded but not half as bad as usual.

I am sure if this helps because if the economy changes (and hopefully it does) I am assuming so will the crowds next year. The only thing I can tell you is that the last 3 years the crowds where never that bad (more crowded then this year but not horrible) due to value season being pushed back to late July. Years ago value season started right after the 4th of July. I think it starts around July 20th or so.

Good Luck and have fun planning!!!

Thanks! Hopefully the lower crowds will hold, but I do wish the economy would turn around, for everyone's sake (although I'm lovin' the deals at Disney and hoping THEY hold too).
