34 days......can we just skip July? This month is going to drag on. I'm working for the first time over the summer ever since becoming a teacher. I'm helping plan the master calendar and do grade level stuff to prepare for next year, I think this will make it drag even more!

We're going through lots of little speedbumps over here so we're both kind of clinging to our Disney trip like it's a lifeline (...it is...) so ah, I can't wait for the next 34 days to fly!

My parents leave for Disney in eight days and while I'm pet-sitting for them our Magic Bands should show up! I'm excited to finally have them (we have all our Disney stuff sent to my parents' house as we don't trust anything that's not letter sized being left in our vestibule)

I'm sure others are going into the "omg I need to buy xyz" frenzy! It's too early to pack but it's all I want to do!

Just saw on a BOG thread that lunch FP+ opened up until July something. 26th or 27th or something like that. So it looks like for now we should still keep our eyes on the website for the next block.

56 days until we leave for our 2nd trip to WDW and Disney cruise!!!

NO SKIPPING July!!! I need it to clean my garage and basement, organize my closets, pack away baby clothes, file paperwork, paint my trim and doors, pull all my weeds and trim all the bushes. Oh and make all of my doctor and dentist appointments!! I need July

Where can I find the latest park hours for August?

Someone said on Facebook that they've changed again!

The one I found on Google shows no 3:00 parade at MK and it has HS closing at 8:30 every night. How is that possible with the Frozen fireworks at 9:45? I'm hoping I'm looking at the wrong thing!!!

The calendar for August at wdwinfo dot com (sorry can't post links yet) seems up to date.

50 days to go here. Last thing to do is try to get a Beaches and Cream ADR for 5 which is proving difficult. I even tried to coordinate with another member here that was cancelling a reservation for 6 and they ended up splitting that into 2 smaller groups when she cancelled! My kids are obsessed with getting the kitchen sink.

Can't wait for next month to arrive. We have now changed our resort for the third time, this time because Free Dining has opened up for our dates. We are now going to be staying at CBR from August 19-26. Originally we were at AOA, changed to POR with a PIN code, and now to CBR because of free dining. Can't wait until we go.

We have the same check in date. I changed resorts a lot as well. First it was Poly then Beach Club, then Pop with a good discount but we have settled on CBR with free dining for 11 nights! Saved us a lot of $$$.

Now we wait!

I wonder how accurate that is? Looks like their forecasts are for weather several degrees cooler than average--that would be awesome! Funny how every day's forecast is nearly identical.

Free dining for Canadians beginning Aug. 17th.

That is exactly where we are hoping to stay. I would love to be right there, close to the walking bridge to the main pool. The kids are excited about the pool at CBR now too.
