Are you going July 21 too?

Yes!

Ds and I leave tomorrow to catch the AutoTrain and dd is flying down Sunday. The 21st is dd's 17th birthday so I splurged on the DAH tickets.

We leave on the 22nd so it will be an awesome way to spend our last full day!

We are all really excited!!

Well DH and I did it....we bought our plane tickets tonight for $260 after picking our seats. We likely won't get much sleep over the weekend, but we're going to After Hours again!!!! It is so much fun to have a trip a week away! I've been keeping a countdown on our whiteboard which is still over 100 for our October stay and I told DH that now we get to be there in 7 days lol. We are staying at Coronado Springs (never been there before) and we got a really good rate through Priceline. Overall, I can't wait and weather is looking good so far for next Saturday

Great you were able to pull it off! So funny, we were there the same day as you in March and will be there on 7/21 too.

HA! Really? That’s so funny. July is going to be so different than March. I’ve never been to wdw in the summer.

These Disney survey questions I just answered were kind of funny. Who would actually say “Yes, I strongly agree that the Magic Kingdom was TOO EMPTY”?

Just bought tix and booked flights for myself and DD19 for our 2nd annual girls weekend. Attending on 8/4! Can't wait!

So I glanced at the list of whats open during DAH, but what isn't? What should we try to do during normal park hours?

We went once in August many years ago and have not been back in the summer since, yuck! We were already planning a trip to the area just to visit family, so no theme parks, but DAH came up the day before we planned to be there, so we added a day. As much as you think it is just as warm at home (we are in the Chicago area), the same temperature in FL feels much worse due to humidity. I figure we will be okay the later it gets, but are definitely prepared for a very hot and humid early evening.

A lot of characters aren’t open during dah. Carousel of progress and monsters inc are closed.

It’s been horrible here lately with humidity. Earlier today it said 100% humidity and it felt like 106 yesterday. Way hotter than I’m used to here.

@GADisneyDad14 can you add my family to 8/30 DAH? Thanks for all the info on this event! We can't wait!

Got you added!

To others, I was out all last week so got behind on the list. If I missed you, don't hesitate to remind me!

 

[Ashley Marie]

Hope to see some reviews from those of you going tonight. I miss it!

we tried to do some of the longer attractions like Splash and Jungle Cruise just before DAH to not take up as much valuable time.

If anyone is in the park and going tonight, there are in-park check-in areas. I’ve already gotten my lanyard for tonight outside of POTC

We attended on 7/9. This is the most amazing event ever!!!!! We were able to ride everything we wanted to multiple times. The best tip I read before our trip was to start on one side of the park and work your way around. Also, don't eat a large meal (like Liberty Tree Tavern) before the event. You want to be a little hungry. It is worth giving up a park day and attending this at night. We hard a resort/pool day before going to the park at 6:30. This worked perfect.

I hope that this isn’t an indication that they may increase attendance for this event.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Hope the 7/14 DAH crew has a great time tonight!

BTW, another non-sell out.
