*** Official August 2021 thread ***

I just realized I never updated this! My daughter and I will be staying at All Star Movies August 16-23! We will be at Universal for the first time ever for 4 days before this.
I get to order Boo Bash tickets on Tuesday and make my dining reservations on Thursday, which I am very excited about. Planning these trips is like a sport to me and almost as fun as the trip itself lol
This is the first time we are going in August...we usually go two weeks later for Labor Day. I am just holding out hope that the Egg Roll Cart will be open at Magic Kingdom because I have been dreaming about cheeseburger eggrolls since I had them at the HEA dessert party in 2018!

Just a heads up I think you are a week off on your dining reservation date, should be next week, June 17, not this Thursday June 10 if you are arriving August 16.

Mother-daughter trip August 16-21. Belated graduation trip combined with my 50th birthday. We are staying at All Star Movies.

lol yup you are right! I am counting the day we land in Orlando as 60 days from Thursday and I didn’t even realize it. I am not used to going places other than Disney in FL and it obviously shows lol. Thank you!!

No problem—we are there the same time so when I read your post I double checked the 60 day count. Just wanted to let you know so you don’t log in super early this week only to see nothing available!

Made my ADRs today. Had to be a bit flexible on times but got most everything we wanted. But what a bummer that Boo Bash ticket release coincided with my day; the site was so incredibly slow and the app kept timing out.

 

[DaniMoon]

Check again and on your MDE since it appears the booking site online isn't showing all openings. I see Beaches and Cream all week from Monday on...I have 2 of them since I am staying at Boardwalk. I am arriving the same day and was up bright and early and did really well! Topolino's Breakfast I thought would be impossible...got it on the AM of my flight back.

Thanks, I will keep checking. I see openings for 2, but nothing for 4 on the 10th.

I see availability for 4 for an early lunch (11:15) for the 10th...nothing for dinner.

August 28th - September 5th here. Can't wait!

We have a 10:30 Oga's on the 10th

 

[Ecomommy09]

Will you guys tell me what my day is for dining? I feel like the app usually has an alert that tells me what the day is, but I don’t see it. I check in on the 25th and out on the 28th. I need an adult.

Yesterday was day 60 for me and I check in aug 6. So add 19 days to that...so June 26?

Yep! I’m a lawyer so cheat and use the calculator we use for calculating court deadlines. It’s Saturday June 26.

 

[scrappinginontario]

Phew! We switched our date back to the Aug 24th but I'd forgotten to move our ADR booking date in my calendar. Thanks for figuring out the date for @Ecomomm09 as it reminded me to move mine.

 

[SimonSez]

We'll be there August 7-14. Staying at the YC

 

[sweetyk83]

Well, we are joining this group for August! We are normally Sept visitors but we are coming in August this year!
Staying at Shades of Green, it'll be our first ever kid free trip!
Aug 24-Sept 1.
We are also attending Boo Bash on the 24th!

 

[Adventureland]

August 3rd to the 9th here, at the Poly. ^.^
Debated Boo Bash but ultimately left it alone. I'm not an early riser usually and it sounds like a lot to try to book.

 

[DaniMoon]

I see availability for 4 for an early lunch (11:15) for the 10th...nothing for dinner.

This morning, I snagged a 7pm Beaches and Cream on the 10th. Now I will have to see if my kids still want to keep Sci-Fi or trying B&C.

We (family of 4) are attending it on August 24th, too! I'll be the first to admit that the price is outrageous, but we've never done this kind of "special event" before and we're saving money in some other areas on this trip, so we decided to splurge. I'm pretty excited about it. It will be the night before we leave so I think it will be a nice end cap on our vacation-- and our only chance to enjoy any of the parks with outdoor temperatures a couple degrees cooler.

August 24 is when my daughter and I will be at Boo Bash, as well! Never been to Disney for Halloween time, so we're pretty excited!
