So how many of us have ADRs all set?

I made mine on Sunday (DH's birthday!), and got everything I wanted, including CRT and LeCellier. WOOT!

Best of luck to all July go-ers!

Our family of 7 will be staying in the Fort in a fifth wheel June 28-July 11th.

I'm getting anxious and trying my hardest to hold the "secret" in that we're going to Disney again. Originally I had it planned to go in December, however we were going to tent camp. Instead, we're going in July in a fifth wheel.

How many of you are doing the dining plan?

Our first trip, we didn't do the plan. (Stayed at Coronado Springs & WLV's) Our second trip, we did the plan and loved it. (Stayed at OKW in a 2bdrm villa). This trip, I'm undecided. For our length of stay, it's going to add a LOT of additional expense to our trip when we could eat most meals at the trailer. Decisions decisions...

Anyone else concerned about the heat & crowds? We're from Michigan where it can get quite hot & humid. We also tent camp in July here without electricity or running water. I *think* we can manage at Disney!

I'm so excited to see this thread. We are going July 19-26, staying at Pop Century. We just booked our plane tickets, 89.00 each way. I was pretty excited about that. I haven't made ADR's yet. I can make them next week. Has anyone heard of a planned Dis Meet going on in July? I would love to meet some other Disney freaks like myself.

7 more days until we can make our ADRs!!! I am so excited! Our family has narrowed the list of restaurants to just 6!

Citrico's (GF)
California Grill (CR)
Artist Point (WL)
Yachtsman (YC)
Kona Cafe (Poly)
Shula's (Dolphin)

These are the places we are going for dinner each night. We try to avoid making ADRs for lunch (WARNING!-worst mistake we ever made!!!!). We usually like to keep lunches light. We'll probably eat at Pizzafari for lunch when we are at AK, and we'll probably stop at the Columbia Harbor House for lunch when we are the MK. Same with 50's Prime time at MGM (yes, I know it's not MGM anymore, lol. But it's hard to break habit), and maybe the somewhere in the WS for when we are at Epcot.

As for a dining plan, we are going to be on the Platinum Plan this year (for the 3rd time . Like I said, hard to break habit ). What I like most about the plan, is the unlimited use of the sea raycers! We spent a lot of time on the sea raycers last year. A GREAT way to cool off in the summer heat!

I checked the WDW site, and the scheduled EMH are up for July! We always base most of our plans around the EMH (gotta take advantage of 'em all!)

Happy planning to you all!

We're doing the Deluxe Dining Plan. And, considering the prices of some of the places we're eating...I'd rather pay for it in advance than watch hubby have a heart attack every time he opened his wallet.

I called this morning to secure all of our ADRs for our 7/19-7/25 stay at AKV. Finally going with my sister and her family so we really wanted a 'girls' breakfast with the lovely Cindy at her residence for my sister, her DD4 and myself. I called at 7:00 a.m. this morning and got through right away without being on hold at all and got an 8:10 a.m. ADR for CRT on 7/23- woohoo!!!

My DH, DS17 and DS9 are no longer willing to put up with the princess meals so I am thrilled to finally be going back to the castle with my princess niece. I was also able to get all of preferred dining times for the rest of our TS meals (Crystal Palace, Coral Reef, Whispering Canyon and Hollywood & Vine).

Good luck to everyone else booking their ADRs this week.

Hi everyone! As you can see I am a newbie! Planning to head to Disney July 7-July 16. It will be me, DH and 2 of our 5 kids. The older kids are going to Florida all summer to visit family.

We used to live an hour and a half from Disney so the older kids have been there quite a lot. This will be the first time for my youngest 2 boys (5 & 6). And my DH hasn't been there in about 30 years!!! My last visit was right before we moved to NC in 1999.

Hoping to book soon and stay at All Star Movies with the DDP. I wish my tax refund would hurry up so I can get this all booked!!

Anyway, Hello everyone and thanks for all the tips that you post!! I've already learned A LOT!!

 

[Harley-Mouse]

welcome and have fun on the boards. We will look for you at WDW get your lime green ready!

 

[Atchley]
