Well, now I feel really nutz cuz I'm planning my October 2010 trip already My September 2009 trip is actually just 1 month and 3 days away and I can't wait!! We're driving this year from Indiana and it is a 2 day trip if you want to retain your sanity. I am DVC so I know what resort (SSR 2br this year and hopefully a THV next year). There are 6 of us who all turn 50 next year so watch out Disney, here we come!!!

Noooo...not crazy at all! You're just an avid planner, which is a very good thing

I just started planning our 2010 trip in October! DH is not going with us this year, so it was time to start thinking about our "family" vacation. (You know the one that the WHOLE family goes on). I am very excited about MNSSHP!

Hi everyone! We are considering going in July of 2010 too. I've only ever been to Disney in March and December. Can someone tell me just how hot it is during July? What about pricing? It won't let me check the price of rooms this far out. Does anyone know how much it might be roughly for a Value resort?

Thanks!

You can check 2009 rates on alllears.net for an idea of costs. I guess it depends on what you are used to in terms of temps. Typically it is in the 90's and quite hot (with pop up showers) but the weather has been odd everywhere this year, so you never know...

I am not planning a july 2010 trip but a december 2010 trip. It doesn't hurt to start planning things out.

Right now our plan is to go in July 2010 but reading all of the posts about the tour groups in July is making us think about pushing our trip back to August. What do you think? We are staying off-site in a house. We just went in May 2009 and are planning for next summer already. I don't know how much we should change our plans due to the tour groups...decisions, decisions!

We always go in July!

This year we were there June 27-July 13th, then we went to Hilton Head for 4 nights/5 days. It was our first time driving instead of flying and we loved it!

This year I think we're going to go July 21-August 7 - two weeks at Disney and possibly 3 nights at Universal. Hopefully we'll stop for a few nights at Hilton Head again. Let the planning begin!

We'll be staying at either BC or YC. I'm trying to figure out whether to book BC gv CL and regular ddp or go with a standard room at either YC or BC and book the deluxe ddp. The price of the regular ddp went up for that time period so there really isn't too much difference anymore in price between the two plans. Decisions, decisions!

We were there in mid Aug 08 and te tour groups were there. We had touring plans that really didn't match their plans... One time we entered a park with a large group so we went the opposite direction.

I would think May might be a better time if you can do that again -- kids are still in school. (As am I which is why it is June/ July for us.)

Heck that's an early bird for me....we got April 2010 booked and planned.
I'm looking at Sept 2011 to start planning the next one.

Had to move our June trip to July - just got the school calendar and DD's graduation is later than we thought! So, yes we are planning for July now - booked the Dolphin and Poly today! Hoping the teacher discount at the Dolphin and the AP rate for the Poly kick in so I can save a bit!!!

 

[disneysnob]

Sooooo excited!!!
We booked our vacation last night, staying at the Vistana resort June 27-July 4th. We usually add on 2 or 3 days at a Disney resort before or after the Vistana, just to get that Disney "magic"... Let the planning begin!!!!!!

 

[tinkerbell615]

We are planning for the end of July and beginning of August, but haven't decided the specific dates. If the 4/3 deal comes back out, we might change to the end of June.

DD graduates from HS in June and Disney is her graduation gift! Seems a lot of people are celebrating this way.

Now I just need to keep my fingers crossed that the economy doesn't get any worse so that we can go!!

OMG we had to do the same thing for DS13 and his BFF13 8th grade graduation as well. Our trip is booked for July 2010 and we are at the CR MKV CL. We invited his BFF to join us and this is where they wanted to stay. Looking forward to the trip but not the graduation. I already start crying now just thinking about it.

Already started planning our 2011 and 2012 trips.

What a great graduation gift you are giving to yourself. Nursing school is not easy and codos to you.

I booked our July 2010 trip on August 4th. I couldn't wait. I guess if there is a deal that comes out for our time, I will call up to see if they can apply it. If not at least we have the room that we want. Happy Planning and again Congratulations.

Thank you so much. Nursing school is hard work and I feel I will deserve to go to the beach club as my reward.
I'm going to try my best to get my DH to let us book ASAP!!!!

I have my family booked for POP June 29-July 6th 2010. It is soooo far away but I am on these boards just about every day getting tips and advice. I just love reading about it, talking about it and planning all that I can. It helps keep me excited about it. I know I'm not the only one but I am also dreaming about the next two trips I want to take as well. I'd like to go at Halloween time and Christmas time. This time will probably be only time in the middle of summer cuz' I want my step-son to experience it, and we have to go while we have him for our summer visitation. His mother is not going to agree for him to go at any other time outside of our contractual visit, so he will probably only get to go this one time. We've only been once on our honeymoon, so this will be first time with kids. Our daughter will also be with us(21 months at time of travel), and I am looking forward to it, despite the crowds and heat!

 

[letstalkboutdisney]

How many of you who are going in July 2010 have booked already?
