OFFICIAL JULY 2009 THREAD!!! The wait is on!!!

[mg711]

Hi all!!!

My family are going (hopefully, if no job losses) July 18 - 25. Staying at All Stars Sports..... The 4/3 package is nice.

My DH and I are surprising our children DD (14) and DS (11), we are not going to tell them to the morning we leave. We were at WDW 4 yrs ago and our kids have been begging to go back ever since then.

I can hardly wait!!!!

Still trying to fill up the stroller swap I'm in. Mostly July dates are left so thought I'd post it here. Dates available are 6/28 - 7/5 and 7/12 or 13 - 8/8. Only $20 for the whole week! Click the link in my signature if interested.

Enjoy your time. And a big THANK YOU to you both for his service.

Good for you..I cant even imagine how that must feel..I want to thank you both for your service.

Ooh enjoy your time!!!!! Do you get to go to the airport? Make sure you get a family pass so you can go directly to the gate to meet him. (if you don't already know about it - you just go to the ticketing counter, tell that you're waiting for a military member, and they give you a special pass to get past security without a ticket- you don't even have to wait in line at the ticketing counter - they send you to the quickest line.
But most of all, enjoy enjoy enjoy. Hugs. thank your BF for all of us.

Thank you everyone!
I wish I could go to the airport when he arrives, but I might be at work when
he comes in. I'll be at the airport though when he comes home in June at the
end of his tour!!!!! I am just sooo excited! I haven't stopped smiling all week because I know I am going to see him soon

We're going from July 12-18, staying at the Pop Century Resort. It'll be me , my wife , and our two DS, ages 5 and 2 .

It will be our first trip during the busy time, so any tips we can get would be greatly appreciated. Our two previous trips, we never faced lines longer than 15-20 minutes.

It's going to be a blast, it's our oldest kid's second trip and the first for our youngest, who just absolutely loves Mickey Mouse and Tigger Pooh (as he calls them).

I'm so excited. I can't stop thinking about the trip. We haven't made our ADRs yet, but we're going to do that in the next few days.

Welcome aboard (sorry, spent too much time in the DCL forum).

Unless, I'm missing something you won't be able to make your ADRs in the "next few days". ADRs can't be made until 90 days out.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

We stayed at Pop last year and our girls loved it! I think the resort is great, and especially fun for the little ones w/ the oversized things!

I think the easiest thing to do to avoid some lines and heat is to get to the parks early, take a break around lunch time for a nap/swim. Then head back a little later in the day!

Nope, you're right. I meant to mention that in my post too!

Yeah, sorry about the confusion. I meant we're going to sit down and plan where we want to eat on what days. Or at least come up with a working list of where we'd like to eat.

Welcome to the DIS. I think we are all hoping to keep our jobs. I will add you to the list. It can be found on page 3 post 39 of this thread. I wish I could keep my mouthshut but I can't so I won't. No surprise for my grandkids.

Welcome Brunch24. Tom is right, ressie can no longer be made before 90 day out. I have had my dining plans made for several months. I have been told I have OMD (Obsessive Mouse Disorder). There is no cure and the only thing that helps to to visit disney regularly. So I plan to go as often and for as long as the check book and spouse will allow. Oh I will add you to the list as well.

Sure is quiet around here.

Everyone must be working on their ADR plans.

Everyone must be working on their ADR plans.

Speaking of ADR's, I'm interested in hearing where other Juliers are planning on eating. I hope to eat at Kona cafe, San Angel Inn, Coral Reef, Sci-Fi Dine In, Tokyo Dining, Le Cellier, Artist Point, The Wave and GF Cafe.

 

[bennythepug]

I'm only making 3 ADR's
but the 3 I want I really really want

Whispering Canyon Cafe for my Son's B-Day
Sci-Dine In- my DH's B-day
and 50's prime time

the rest, counter service and eating back at the resort

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

We're doing the Deluxe Dining Plan....as long as it's gonna take me on the phone that morning, I should probably schedule a vacation day.

 

[bennythepug]

I know ! How do people make these calls during the work week? I thought I was the only one that is trying to figure out how to call that day

 

[MeetingMickeyin2006]

On the day we can make our ADR's, we'll be on the road, heading to Branson to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We'll be calling from the road, on our cell. And let me tell ya, we better not lose reception or get cut off during "THE CALL", or I'll have the head of an AT&T rep on a nice shiny platter. You know, shoot the messenger. LOL

We're doing a lot of counter service and character breakfasts. We're not doing the DDP. Maybe next time. Here's where we plan to eat:

Earl of Sandwich
Donald's Safari Breakfast
Beaches and Cream
Plan on snacking around the world at Epcot
Breakfast at Chef Mickey's
Cosmic Ray's
Pizza Planet
CBR food court a few times
Breakfast at Crystal Palace
Possibly Whispering Canyon Cafe
Breakfast at Kona
Probably another counter service at MK

And of course we plan on getting snacks at Goofy's, getting dole whips, etc.

Can you tell we are breakfast lovers? LOL

Hey, just saw my ticker. I'm UNDER 120 DAYS! Woo-hoo!
