HS was day 2 and then the last day of our trip day 8 at HS there might have been something in the evening but we're leaving at 3pm. AK Day 5 we could only get FOP at 6:15 pm.

Yikes! That’s not good, but thanks for the info

So after canceling our May trip a few weeks back, I’ve been feeling really unmotivated to plan our short July trip (even though it’s for my husbands‘s birthday). I think I had Disney depression. Is that a thing? Because, if it’s not, it totally should be.

Anyways, this leads me to this morning’s realization: In one week from today, I’ll be booking FPs....and I haven’t planned anything yet! Ahhhhh!!!

So, who wants to help this last minute Sally out? Our trip is from 7/07-7/13.

7/07: Late arrival (no park time).
7/08: Blizzard Beach (am) /
7/09: Hubs is getting an IronMan tattoo at Universal’s city walk. (No park time).
7/10:
7/11:
7/12:
7/13: Early departure (no park time).

Since my main man is getting a tattoo on 7/09, I‘m planning on going to Blizzard Beach the day before (provided the water parks are open). We usually only stay until around 1pm. I feel like we should hit up a park that evening but I have no idea which one (especially with the limited FP stuff going on). Maybe Epcot?

Based on what we’ve been hearing for FP availability, what would you do for the other days?

Just want to say I do our July FP's Monday and only know 1 day out of 6; that's how I roll lol! So you have plenty of time to work on it. All I'll say is if you do want to try for any tier 1's at HS or FOP at AK, definitely try one of them on the 12th. And while often it isn't suggested to go the park with AM EMH, if you don't get good FP's or don't think you will, you could do the park with morning EMH those days to hopefully get on a headliner or two.

You only have one day booked? Well, that makes me feel a lot better. I often see people with their daily plans set up months in advance and here I am being a slacker. Lol. I do think I’m going to put AK for the 11th or 12th because FOP is one of my favorite rides. Thanks for your input.

Welcome! Yup many people figure out their plans months and months in advance, I just can't do that for my personal trips anymore If it's just DH and I then I'll only make an ADR or two unless we're going with friends; then they usually want to book more lol! If we're taking the kids (which we are in July) I'll do a tad bit more planning, but even right now I only have 2 ADR's and I know I'm changing one. And 99% of the time we change up every day once there!
Have fun planning!

Happy planning everyone!

I booked FPs today. Availability was good.

Cool, glad you got what you wanted! I did June FP's today and they were "eh", do our July ones on Monday.

I reserved Coronado Springs and got a good rate of $175 per night. Again I will be there from July 23-29

We are in the tower at Coronado July 23-26 for (hopefully)m our second trip of July, this one is adults only.

 

[ArielSRL]

Hopefully I added everyone. If I missed you I am sorry and just comment.

I don't think I got added to roll call. In your defense, I don't even remember if I have commented on this post. I am in and out of the boards so I forget what I have and have not posted. We are June 27-July 5 at POFQ and then an adults only July 23-26 at Gran Destino at CSR. Thanks!

All our July flights were just changed on southwest. This includes our party leaving out of two different cities. Nothing too crazy but a change nonetheless.

Ours too but it actually has us leaving earlier on arrival day and later on departure day. I'll take it.

Can I join in?Our Memorial week trip was cancelled and we’ve rebooked for July 14-25th sending positive vibes for everyone hereNever been to WDW in July any advice appreciated

Just did our July FP's (which I only planned out last night - and only the parks at that not attractions) and did good Got MMRR, Millennium Falcon, FOPx2, 7DMT, BTMRR an Splash x2, TOTx2. I will say with one or 2 days exceptions I wanted them for later in the day starting between 4 and 6 so I didn't really try for early morning but the tier 1's at HS were available for our 2nd day

Wow! That’s awesome. Congratulations on your fastpass success. We booked a couple of days ago and did not do as well. We didn’t get any headliners until day 4 and our trip is only 6 nights. We’d been tracking fastpasses and expecting it though. It’s amazing what a couple of days shift in dates can do. DD and I have been stalking in half hour shifts to try to pick something new up but have been unsuccessful so far.

Hi All! We decided to take a chance and book July 15 - 20. My sister and niece have plans on taking my mom for a few days (rescheduled from April), so we thought it would be fun for the kids and I to surprise Mom and go as well (we will surprise her there)! We lost our dad in the last year and she could really use this escape for a little while. While we are prepared for a possible cancellation, we are all really hoping that we can go. We also understand that if Disney is open it will not be the full experience and we are truly okay with that.

I booked yesterday and didn’t have the same success that others have reported. I couldn’t get any HS tier ones until 60+6, and since it’s our favorite park I checked multiple days. No FoP on 60+4 or +5. I got 7DMM on 60+5 but not 60+3 for the early afternoon, so we’ll do MK instead of HS that day (maybe park hop).

Our previous (cancelled) FPs were amazing (I guess they really were too good to be true). If things move forward I’ll hope for same day drops and swaps.

Just moved my trip one more time. It was 3/14-3/20, then 5/30-6/5, then 6/1-6/7 and now, hopefully for the final time 7/10-7/17.
We were at AoA with free quick service from the March trip cancellation, then I just realized for $15 more I could move to the Garden building at Contemporary and get free regular dining! So for $15 more I moved us right over!

Monday is my FP day and I’m hoping they’re better than my June days.
