July 2010; Who else is planning this far ahead?

[WishesQueen]

Going in July 2010 (hopefully) but haven't book!!!

I booked beginning of August for July 2010. Just put a deposit. I will wait awhile to pay it off though.

 

[CoachBagFanatic]

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 think you are going to have a fabulous time at the BC. It's such a great resort and you can't beat the easy access to Epcot and DHS. Let us know when you book.

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

Already booked our July 2010 on August 4th, 2009. This is an 8th grade graduation gift for our DS13 and we wanted to make sure that we got the resort and room that we wanted. So excited.

Hi! We are a family of four and ever since we decided we were definitely taking our daughters to Disney next year, we have been (rather I have been) a planning maniac. I know I'll chill out here soon and just wait and "save" for it but right now I'm too daggone excited. Even my daughers think I'm nuts but I feel if I plan it right, they are going to have a trip of a lifetime. We are leaving Delaware on July 16 by car and will check-in at the Polynesian Resort on the 17th for 6 nights. We have never stayed at this resort. Usually we are off property and have done the Contemporary for 2 nights during a stay about 8 years ago. This trip our girls will be 11 and 15. It can't get here soon enough, however, we have a long wait just like you and planning and anticipation is 1/2 the fun. Anyone doing a package? If you have advice planning the trip, I'm all EARS! 321 days and counting!!! Sad isn't it?

Booked 2 rooms for our family vacation at the Dolphin!
C'mon June/July 2010! Hey,I just past my 300 mark!!!!!

 

[awaldo]

I will get caught up on this entire thread so I know who's who - but for now I will just throw in that we will hopefully be there July 2010!

 

[awaldo]

Finally booked in. 2 rooms at the Dolphin, July 24-31. Driving down from Indiana. Myself, DW, DDs (5 and 2 by that time), BIL & SIL and Nephew, 6. Cannot wait! Dolphin is our tentative first choice due to the Teacher rate, but actual place may vary due to upcoming specials, whether it is AP ( which we have) or a plan ol' deal like the 4/3 of last year!

Yeah for you. Don't you feel so much better knowing that you have a definite reservation?

OMG I just realized, 100 days from now I can make my ADR's.

We are planning for July 18 to go back to GF. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be a 4/3. That way will may be able to stay at the RPC and do the Delux Dining this time. We went to WDW GF this past August, but something didn't feel right. I don't know if was because the parks started to close early or what, but I won't go in August again. To us, July is vacation!

We have stayed in both the RPC many times and the SL once and we love RPC. There is nothing like opening the curtains and look at the castle changing colors.

I completely agree about the different months. We used to vacation the first 10 days in December and then the weather started to get to chilly for me. Then we started going in June/July and now that's the only time for us.

Hey awaldo - did you get the teacher rate for then? I'm booked with a AAA rate for July 8 - 15 through dreams unlimited but I'm waiting for the teacher rates to come out. I LOVE the Dolphin, especially with such a great rate (last november I paid only 129 a night for Thanksgiving week). Can't wait!

 

[DisneyBabies]

We have been planning DD's Feb 2011 trip since March and I started thinking of a few things for our Sept/Oct 2013 trip with both kids for MNSSHP. Now that the b4g3 deal has come out I am planning a trip for DH and I for March 2010 .

Feb 2011 trip: I have DD's autograph book made already. I've printed half of the pages for my planning journal and saved all the pages I am using for DD's journal. Plus I already bought her dress and shoes for BBB and 1/2 of her gifts "from minnie mouse".

Sept/Oct 2013 trip: I saved the autograph pages for both kids book and bought supplies to make the books. Designed or saved almost all of the pages for my planning journal.

March 2010 trip: Since DH just said last night that we should go, all I've done so far is figure out most of the ADR's we want.

Hi, my name is Cassandra and I have Disney planning OCD. What is step one of the treatment program again?

 

[wdwluv]

Irish dance nationals at the swan/dolphin then onto the gf or cr should be great fun. lots of girls in curly wigs. Last couple of years has been at nashville but hoping wdw attracts lots of international competition.

Yes, Teacher rate of 149 plus tax, resort, etc. A pretty great price, unless WDW offers a resort package like the 4/3 one we used last July!

 

[njtinkmom]

Yep we will be there! Booked my first family DVC trip to our new home BLT for July 25th thru the 30th! I am leaving in 12 days for a me and hubby only get away to AKV and I can not wait! So much to look forward to!

 

[Can'twaittogo]

We will also be there July 2-7 at the Swan for the North American Irish Dance Championships. Then moving on to POP until the 13th.

 

[Disney Crazy Debbie]

I made our reservations in August for July 31 through August 7. I make the reservations and then put it on "layaway". I put about $200 down every payday and then it's paid for by the due date. This year we are staying at WLR and, for the first time we are doing the Delux Dining Plan.

 

[Nettaboo]

We will be there July 23-30 staying at Key West and Saratoga Springs!!!

 

[epcotdad]

we are planning to be there from July 5th till the 16th if all goes well.
