Late July-how many days

[essmom]

Kids are 11,13 -plan to do all 4 parks with the hopper- staying at the ebach club- does it qualify for extra hours? should be there midday Monday and have 4 day park hopper- should I get the 5 day for $4 more- mine really want to go back to universal but we need to be home Sunday. so what do you think - with the hopper, crowds in July etc- can we get most done in 3 and a half days- Monday- 1/2 day- MGM- Tuesday- MK, Wednesday - Epcot, Thursday-AK/ favorites- , hoped to spend time at pool in heat of day and go back at night to parks- and see the night shows. anyone used tour guide Mike???Thanks

Beach Club does qualify for the EMH hours. Have you been to WDW before? 3 1/2 days will only scratch the surface. I would suggest the 5 day hopper. My kids are the same ages and Epcot, besides Soaring and Test Track, is their least favorite park so you might want to consider your half day being here. I haven't used TGM but alot of people really like his touring plans.

A bit about July, this is the time of year we visit since it's the only time we can get away. We like July beacause there is a lot going on, the parks are open late and we like the evening atmoshphere of the parks, we can swim a lot, and beacause it's summer alll of the rides and attractions are usually open. However if my kids hadn't been conditioned to my comando touring style of go early, swim/cool off, come back late at this age they would probably rebel. It's sinfully hot and humid and the only weather that can produce major temper tantrums all on it's own. If you are prepared it is very doable, and many DIS vetrans still choose this time of year to visit WDW.
