July 2011:Calling all planners-Post your dates & Resort

[aspiringprincess1]

Hey all!

Joining in on the thread! July 14-22 at WL! I am beyond excited! I've started a pre-trip report, my first one ever! Still confused on the links and stuff, but I'll get there!

Can't wait to hear what everyone has planned! I'm sooooo excited!

 

[miprender]

Just wait, we are going to wake up the morning of our trips and not belive it's really there until we are on the plane

4 Mths from today we will be leaving for DISNEY

Changed my July 5 ADR from Lunch at Le Cellier to Dinner at The Garden Grill.

I know it seems crazy to not gon to Le Cellier. My husband is a very picky eater though, and I truly don't think he will eat anything there. A burger is okay, but he would have to order special (he hates doing that). Plus, we will have burgers at other places for CS. Thus, the decision came about. *sighs* I guess I'll never get my steak at Le Cellier. Will still have a blast no matter what though, really!!!

It would it help if I said you weren't really missing anything We have eaten there twice and though the food was good there are other places that are better. We have a ressie for GG too and I can't wait to eat with Chip N Dale

I have a cold that has knocked me out for the count! Hopefully only a few more days and I will be on the mend...if not, then it's spring break and surely I can get some rest THEN? Who knows!

I did get the ride list from my sister & her family so working on putting that in some sembelence of order but my brain isn't quite functioning for it right now.

I hope you feel better

Yes, that helps very much! lol. It's not like I have not had some outstanding steaks before in my life. I too am looking forward to Chip N Dale. I think I counted we have 5 character meals... you would think we have kids instead of just being the two of us! haha. But, hey, I like to see them too, and I don't like waiting in line for it!!!

We didn't like the food at GG but I think we'll go back just so I can see them. I love the chipmunks. In fact, last year, Dale indicated to us that Chip does not use proper hygiene.

Wow! You and I will be at the same resort for our stays (which are the same days! I'm only one day less then you!)! And now I have another PTR to read In all seriousness though, Welcome to the July board! Were happy to have more people!


I've noticed when I go to check my mail I keep looking for my Disney Mail. I know it's to soon to get any and it probably wont come until sometime in June. I just cant help to get those butterflies when I slip my key into my mail box and open the door. I keep dreaming about putting those DME tags on our luggage! I finally got a bag for our City Mini stroller so it doesnt get damaged when the gate put's it below the plane. I do have an intresting question though.

Since we are arriving earlier in the day (before 1pm) should I bother packing extra clothes for all of us in the carry on? I know I need to for DD3 because she's 2 and well she can get messy very quickly but what about the rest of us? I've already decided to put our swimsuits in the carry on just in case the kids want to play in the pool after lunch but after that I'm lost

Just booked our Disney Trip for July 19th - July 26th w/free dining!! Whoo Whoo!! Beyond excited! We were going to go at the beginning of December, but I was afraid to take the kids out of school even though we've done that in the past. I have one that will be a junior and one that will be a senior, and it's a little different when they are about to graduate from when they were in elementary school. Not to mention we wanted to take advantage of our free dining pin! I'm trying not to worry about crowds too much. We got hopper passes this time, so it will be easier for us to follow what I call the Disney Bible (touring plans) and be able to avoid most of the crowds.....at least we hope.

 

[Jen0504]

Ohhh I forgot...quick question. Does anyone know if they will have The Magic, The Memories and You at Magic Kingdom in July??? I really want to see it.

Ok, I'm a nub. What is The Magic, The Memories and You? Is it a parade?

Oh and Jen~ to the July planning boards!

 

[Jen0504]

You are not a nub Silly!! It's pretty new. It's not a parade, it's a show in the evening where they project hundreds of pictures that they have taken throughout the day at the park onto the castle. I have seen it on youtube. You should check it out, it looks amazing. Nobody does it like Disney! I'm not sure if it's every night, and I'm not sure of the times.

 

[juliebug1997]

The Magic, the Memories and You is like a slideshow of the Photopass pictures from the day. They show it just before the fireworks and about thirty minutes after they're over. It was amazing and it brought a little tear to my eye.

Did I read a page back that someone changed a lunch reservation at LeCellier over to the Garden Grill? I thought the GG wasn't open for lunch.

Free dining huh? I may have to make a call....

Yep, someone changed LeCellier to GG. According to Allears they discontinued lunch? Maybe she's having a late lunch at the begining of dinner hours?

What resort are you staying at. I'll add to the list.

I am just going to pack our bathing suits and an extra change of clothes for DS3. He gets car/air sick

I wasn't sure how the pictures worked so they use the Photopass pics.

As for GG it wasn't me that changed but I have a 4pm ressie so maybe that is what she meant for the time.

 

[weskit]

Booked today! 10 people, June29-July 5th. Excited to be there on the 4th!

 

[Jen0504]

We are staying at Pop!

Well, I went from a Le Cellier lunch to a GG dinner. Two totally different times.

I LOVE the 4th of July fireworks at MK. I have never seen anything like them... we see them on the 3rd though. A little less crowded then.

After our last flight into MCO I'm thinking about packing 4 outfits for YDD. I brought 2 with us last time and the first one was made messy by her drink in the airport. The 2nd one was dirty after a snack on the plane. I think that it would be safe to assume 4 would be a better number. She also doesnt keep bib's on so there is no point in putting one of those on her

They offically need a "doh" emoticon. I honestly thought you went from lunch at one resturant to lunch at another. I applogize for my lack of brain connectivity. I'm really lacking in that lately though I think it's because I dont get enough sleep and dont drink enough

Speaking of coffee I think I'm going to go make me a mug soon. It's noon and all I want to to is crash back into bed. If it keeps up I think I'm going to go to the doc and see about getting some sleeping aids, I only get like this when DH is deployed but this deployment has it at the worst. I seem to do all my cleaning when my kids are asleep and then I stay up until about 2am then get up at 6am to get my older 2 ready for school.

Haha... I can't say anything. I teach math online, and I messed up a problem today. Then, it took me a minute to even figure out what I did wrong! I think it is just the day. Can we skip Mondays?
