July 4th anyone????

[nicolepdonnelly]

Right now plans are up in the air those days for us too. But, keep me posted and I will definately look for your flag as we intend to see Kidani pool during our visit (will hop over from Jambo).

 

[friskykitten]

Already have plans for all of my points this year so we just took advantage of the special summer rates and booked July 3rd-5th at Polynesian GVCL. It will be our first stay there so we are pretty excited! I just wish we could have stayed longer.

 

[lsayd]

We'll be there

6/27 - 7/1 - VB, 7/1 - 7/5 - Kidani

Haven't figured out plans yet, but I know we will not be in the parks on the 4th. We'll look for you guys around the pool!

 

[Eventer98]

We will be at Kidani the exact same dates as you! On 7/4 we plan on doing Epcot in the morning only and dinner at CMC! It will be here soon!!!

Sorry I haven't updated for a while but everything should be up to date now. This has been a busy month; our trip can't get here soon enough! Just put DS19 on a plane yesterday to Bahrain for the next month as part of his Naval commitment through NROTC at college. The bad news (other than his being gone which DW isn't handling so well) is that he is getting back later than he thought; two days after we head to WDW so he will have to join us there on 6/30. Trying to arrange a flight early enough that he makes it in time for our ADR at 50's Prime Time; his special request.

Hard to believe that the first entry in the list arrives in just 29 days. It is getting here fast.

Yes, we're really counting down the days now.

Here's hoping your son arrives in time for 50's Prime Time. His safe return will definitely be something to celebrate.

 

[friskykitten]

Marvali, I apologize but next time you update your list can you take us off? We have had to cancel our July 4th stay so we won't be there after all. Things have not improved like I had hoped they would. Thank you.

Thanks Glenn. We got a message that he made it to Bahrain safely after his flight from London was delayed. He actually found out that his scheduled return is intentionally later that he will probably return home. The "ship" decides when he has fulfilled his commitment and determines his final return date, but as of now it appears he may be home before we leave, which will be great.

Sorry you won't be able to join us. Hopefully your situation will start to progress much better and you can return to the Mouse soon. Sorry we won't get the chance to meet you there this trip, but hopefully sometime in the future.

I am so glad you are coordinating this Marvali
My husband was in the Navy for 12 years-I wish your son the best of luck in Bahrain and hope it all works out timing wise with your trip.
Here's our plans:
July 3rd = MK all day until late taking advantage of the EMH- I am traveling with 2 13 year olds and a 10 yr old so how late we stay will be determined by them
July 4th= we are planning on a little sleep in and heading to BB around 10 AM until maybe 3-4pm, then back to AKV
We have an ADR at Sanaa that night at 6:20
So, maybe we can stop by the pool at Kidani for a while before our ADR and visit
How's that sound?
We are almost at our 30 day mark- finally!!!

 

[nicolepdonnelly]

Change of plans on 4th

ADR the same. Sticking around the Resort most of the day with possible visit to Downtown Disney, so we will definitely see you if you are at the pool-
Do you have a flag or banner yet?

I can't believe we are about 3 weeks away! Yay!

Wow Eventer- I see you are from Rochester NY- So are we

Nicole, yeah time is flying by. I have been really busy with finishing up baseball season, getting ready for a week of scout camp, DW's surgery, and everything else that is happening at the same time. Can't wait to get to Kidani; we are going to need the break.

Haven't had a chance to get the flag done yet, but things will start picking up here quickly as preparations begin in earnest, so it won't be long. I will post the pic when I am done.

Hope we see each other there and get the chance to meet.

[tomandrobin]

We will be staying at VWL 7/3-7/10

 

[WDW Enabler]

we will be visiting july 3-5 at saragota. It will be DH 31, DW 32 birthday July 5, and DD 4. We can't wait until July 3rd. We have made some great friends at community hall and have told us they have a great 4th of july celebration

 

[disneydawn6]

My plan was to go to Magic kingdom and watch the fireworks on the 3rd and then EPCOT on the 4th of July. We have changed gears and now are doing the 7 day cruise which returns the morning of 4th. I noticed the fireworks are at 9:00 at MK and 10:00 at Epcot. Has anyone tried to watch both? Maybe from the monorail stations and then hop on the monorail to catch the ones at EPCOT??? Maybe even POLY and then catch the monorail to EPCOT. We are staying at the BWV... Any suggestions? I know I will not get into the MK that day...... But maybe EPCOT?

another Rochestarian here, actually West Bloomfield. We are at Jambo 7/4-7/7. Just a quickie. Back at Jambo in Aug 8/24-8/31!! Our flight is early am on 7/4 and we plan on doing Fantasmic on the fourth at the studios. No more MK for us on 7/4!!! We have an adr at Mama Melrose.

 

[marvali]

Wow, it is really getting close until the first of us leave on our trip! Can't wait to start hearing some of the trip reports, and getting to meet some of you while we are enjoying the world. With reported higher than normal temps and humidity, I have a feeling we will be spending even more time around the resort and pool. Hoping for a cool front to come through soon.

 

[nicolepdonnelly]

me too
2 weeks from today for us!

 

[disneydawn6]

We leave tomorrow for a 3 week trip to the world and cruise. Packed an extra poncho (one to wear and one to let dry off in the room) My bags are packed I'm ready to go.......

Wow! We are from outside Penfield-we'll be in Jambo from 6/29-7/6! Maybe we'll see you and the rest of the folks if you can make it over to the Kidani pool on the 4th. Enjoy your trip!
