Official August 2007 thread

[rolshan]

We will be going August 25-Sep8, staying at BWV. Can't wait! Will probably do mostly non-Disney the first few days, until the crowds get lower.

 

[1DISNEYLVR]

I'll be there 8/11 - 8/16, PoFq! DD's dance team is participating in Disney's Magical Musical days & she'll be performing in the MK!
We are beyond excited about this!

This will be our first time at PoFq & our first summer trip. Not looking forward to the heat.

 

[cdel73]

We will be at WL August 12-22. It is our first time at this resort and I am really excited. I am already buying little things and putting them into a disney stash. My husband thinks I am a nut. I told him I am... a Disney nut.

 

[kwolf1031]

There will be 9 of us staying at the beautifull OKW resort. August 20-27
First trip with my grandson he will be 7 months old.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

We will be on vacation Aug. 23 - Sept. 3, and at POFQ the 26th - 29th. We're also staying with family pre-Disney, and at the Embassy Suites on I-Drive post Disney for some Universal/SeaWorld fun!

 

[ms_mckenna]

Will be me and my 2 kids for a suprise bday celebration trip. We are staying July 30th to August 4 at AKL. I ordered my maps last night ... had the kids pick out what they wanted to do when we go back in Nov 08. So I am getting busy planning our days.

 

[ncbyrne]

I just did a quick tally and there are 54 posts with August dates. The majority are in the first two weeks, and many are DVC owners. Only 19 are during the last two weeks. I can't predict what that means for crowd levels - just an observation.

 

[DISFANSHAN]

We will be there 8/24-8/31 , offsite at Windsor Hills. Last year I took my DS (just the 2 of us!) to celebrate his 7th bday, this year it will be me, DH, DS3, and my DH's mom, dad, brother and sister, to celebrate Joey's 8th birthday!!!
NCByrne, remember me, from Kenilworth?! Maybe we'll bump into each other !!!

 

[DomFromPhilly]

Will be going Aug 11-19th with DW and DS (20 months) and friend's family.

I have a quick question:

If the Dining Plan does get offered, and we rebook the trip to take advantage of it, do we have to make all new ADRs, or can we keep the ones we already made. Obviously, I plan on making them a copule of weeks from now, when my 6 month window opens. I have heard that the only real negative of the free DDP was the difficulty in getting ADRs, but I'm thinking that will be avoided by most of us who will have planned on going anyway.

Anybody know how this would work?

August 2007 park hours posted!

 

[hogwartsdropout]

I was looking for this thread! Do we have a list yet?
I'm staying from 31st July to 14th August at Port Orleans Riverside!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

We will be at WL August 12-22. It is our first time at this resort and I am really excited. I am already buying little things and putting them into a disney stash. My husband thinks I am a nut. I told him I am... a Disney nut.

I do this too!! By the time we actually got there last year I had accumulated enough PJ Pals from sales that DS3.5 got a new pair to wear every night of our 7 night trip!! I had also put together a "things to do on the plane" bag for him and my niece (who was 2) with Disney coloring books, small Disney board books, Disney sunglasses, a small stuffed toy etc. I just kept finding little deals everywhere I went!!
Have fun and happy planning!!

You will not have to change any ADR's you've made if the free dining comes out after you've made them. If and when you re-book under the free dining promo, they most likely will not even ask if you already have ADR's, and if they do ask it will probably be just to see if you need them to book any for you!!!

[pugcrazy]

Add us to the list going in August!

We will be at POP 8/17/07 - 8/25/07. Still hoping for the Free Dining, but not counting on it. I would be willing to move to a Moderate (even though we LOVE POP!) in order to get the Free Dining.

DD does not know we are going. We have been planning this for almost 6 months now. Feb 19th we make our ADRs. Yeah!!

The calandar came out yesterday & I had to rearrange all my plans. Spectromagic was not scheduled for any of the days we were going to MK. So now we have rearranged things & it looks like this.

8/17/06 Arrive around 11PM
8/18/07 Breakfast at Crystal Palace (hopefully 8:05am)
8/19/07 Boma dinner
8/20/07 Sci Fi lunch
8/21/07 Le Cellier dinner
8/22/07 Mama Melrose dinner
8/23/07 Breakfast Ohana & Dinner Grand Floridian Cafe (if we like the menu released since 1900 Park Fare is going to be closed)
8/24/07 breakfast Chef Mickeys & dinner Teppanyaki
8/25/07 Downtown Disney in the morning (Earl of Sandwich for Lunch) & fly home late in the evening.

 

[DISFANSHAN]

Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary!! DH and I just celebrated our 10year, and I SO wanted to stay at GF on our upcoming trip to celebrate, but we have his family traveling with us and would have needed 3 or 4 rooms , which would have cost too much!!!
Anyway, I am happy for you and your family.....and enjoy your anniversary vacation!!!!!!!

 

[tinkerbellang]

Going in August too! August 8 - 15 - DD's 14th Birthday!

Booked at ASMu Family Suite - with dining - hoping for free dining.

Deposit paid - paying next payment this week, yippee!!

getting ready to make ADR's - have my spreadsheet ready. Have to call on Feb. 15 since DD wants to eat at Cindy's for her birthday.

 

[ksc37]

We'll be at the Contemporary from 8/25 - 8/30 to celebrate our 15th Anniversary, then it's off to the Disney Wonder for our first cruise (8/30 - 9/2).

I have also been tempted to start putting things aside to pack, but I need to remind myself the trip is way too far out (I usually don't plan a trip so far in advance, so the wait is killing me!).

Keeping my fingers crossed for free dining again.
