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

[catho72]

Hi all!

We have finalized our plans...arriving 7/16 and leaving on 7/30. We are renting a condo in Windsor Hills. It's our daughter's birthday while we are there, so I'm thinking of renting points to stay at a deluxe resort for one night as her birthday gift. Exciting!

All of our ADR's are set....Sci-Fi, Chef Mickey's, LeCellier, 'Ohana, LTT, Crystal Palace (8:05am!), Biergarten, 50's PT. Can't wait!!!!

Happy planning everyone!

 

[tinkerbell60]

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?

'

I would LOVE to skip Mondays!!!

do they have the same 4th of July fireworks at MK on the 3rd????



if so, you just me a HAPPY girl!!!

Yes, they do! That way you can see MK fireworks on July 3rd and either Epcot or DHS on July 4th!

We have an ADR at Ohana on July 17th at 8pm - any chance we will see you there?

Except it's our spring break but that didn't stop the kids from getting up super early (why they do this beats me! IF they had to go to school I would have been dragging them awake!). Of course, I have a sinus infection so am totally groggy today I think from the medicine.

catho72!!! My family and I will be there during the same 2 weeks. We are renting a house off-site as there are 13 of us!!!

Can't wait to hear more about your plans!!!

Ya know though, if we skipped Mondays then the time until July would just SHOOT right by us!

I've already started planning my next trip to WDW. Next year, sometime during MNSSHP with my DSis and DSMom. DH has even said I can go without my kiddos! OMG me for a week without my kids! DSis and I are thinking abour renting DVC pts because we think it's about 1000 dollars cheaper per person. Were trying to keep it a secret from DSMom too but my DF is not good at keeping secrets and we need his help in paying for her portion of the trip.

Yes, July would come faster... then of course, Mondays would have to return during July.

That's awesome that you are planning your next trip already!! I don't know when mine will be. We are in the foster to adopt process. So, it will definitely be after a child is in the home and settled in. I'm already looking for to a trip then though... taking a child to explore Disney with us!!

 

[juliebug1997]

Okay. I was just confused and wondering how I missed that Garden Grill was now open during lunch. Sorry!!!!

 

[aspiringprincess1]

Hey fellow July travelers!

I am SOOOO behind on this board, and I apologize!
Your ADRs all look fabulous and DELICIOUS! I wish I could eat everywhere while I'm there, but there is just no time. Well, and that's a little tooo much food

I am actually posting my ADRs on my PTR on Wednesday, so I don't want to spoil it yet! hehe. I will post it over here after for all of you to see! We can discuss!

I'll be sure to check back often! Can't wait to hear more about your trips! only 107 more days until mine!

We are staying at Pop!

72 is a great year

We have ressies for SciFi, CM, Ohana and LTT too. What are the dates you are going to those?

Okay. I was just confused and wondering how I missed that Garden Grill was now open during lunch. Sorry!!!!

No there is no lunch. Dinner starts at 4pm

 

[sarbah77]

Wow! I love looking at everyone's ADRs!

My family and I made them all via Google chat. My brother has a newborn, my parents live a few hours from him, and I'm 13 hours from them... so Google chat it was!

Which morphed into a Google spreadsheet. Which now has pretty colors!

Unfortunately for me, I tore a calf muscle and was given an estimated recovery time of 3-6 months. Does the doctor now know that I can't go past 3? That'll cut in to my Disney vacation!!

(Actually, it is a little worrisome, but we'll see how things sort out. I might need a scooter or something, but I think I'll wait until I've seen sports medicine)

 

[cadek]

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.

It is an amazing show. We usually stay at the Poly and just view Wishes from the beach. I am so glad I didn't miss this show! We went over one night, child free, and then again when we did the Dessert Party. It brought a tear to my eye too. It's hard to see the pictures, but for me it was the amazing effects they do to the castle, it's so hard to describe. The Walt Disney pictures/video get to me too.

Horrible picture, sorry. I wish I had more, but I took video instead.

Yes our Mondays would have to return on the last day of June and stick around until after we all come back from our trips

Congrats on Fostering to Adopt! My BFF here at Drum is currently working on doing that, they've had their little boy for a year now and hopefully soon all the paperwork will be done and he will be theirs. I also have to admit that seeing Disney through the eyes of my kiddos is just so awe inspiring.

Get a scooter (you can rent them before hand and have them delivered to your resort as well. Dont do any heavy lifting and ask your doc about those neat ice packs you can break and then use.

That does look awesome! Deffinately just made my must do list if they still have it going on.


I keep looking at my desk top where my Disney Suitcase countdown ticker is and it's driving me NUTS! 106 days left We are almost all of us in the double digits!

ODD and I are going to sit down and make lists of which rides are must do's in the parks, which ones we can get FP's for and include them on our itinerary cards. I'm also going to re-do those completely. I didnt know how to print out on the index cards (until I talked to DH last night) so that's now in the works. I also found out that the Single Soilder who gave DH his leave dates is missing out on celebrating his birthday at home I feel like such a heal for that so I have to figure out something cool to either send to him before DH comes home on leave or something to mail to him while we are at Disney. Any ideas?

 

[MMrules]

guess I should add my reservations...we are staying at BCV.

Dining at:
T-Rex
Biergarten
Cape May's (Breakfast and Dinner)
Coral Reef
Tony's in MK
Crystal Palace
Hollywood & Vine

We have little one's so character meals are a must!

 

[cadek]

I found more pictures on my iPhone, and they are clearer than my point and shoot!

Definately check out the show!

So we have the Brazilian tour groups when we go in January, and it sounds like we'll have them again in July! Oh well, it can be amusing.

I've been thinking about starting a pre-trip report. I've never done a PTR or TR before. I lurk the disboards everyday, but don't post much, maybe it's time to start.

We got free QSD. We are going to upgrade to DP. We have ADR's for
7/11 11:00 Yak & Yeti
7/11 5:10 Le Cellier
7/13 11:45 Sci-Fi Dine In Theater
7/13 4:40 Le Cellier (will cancel one when there, see which works best)
7/14 5:00 Ohana
I need one more... it's always so hard to predict when and where!

I'm still waiting/hoping they add the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party for July.

[wintershawl]

Good question... I would like to know this as well.

 

[tinkerbell60]

The tour groups start around July 4th and increase in number as the month progresses........so the are pretty prevalent by the 3rd week.
