*OFFICIAL* July 2010 Thread! It’s Hot. It’s Crowded. AND WE LOVE IT!

[tinkerbell60]

Soooo exciting!!! I can't believe you are leaving tomorrow!

Neither can I - I feel so disorganized!! The kids have had so much homework this week, they have not been able to help with packing, so I feel frazzled. But, we will have the car, and there is a WalMart down the road.....

I'm so jealous! I can't wait to start packing!
Have fun!

Thanks - I am not complaining, but the real trip is not till July! This is just an appetizer -

We are booked into the Royal Parc Suites. It says they are 1 mile from disney but we will know know how close until we get there.

I did want to ask about getting to the park. The hotel offers free shuttle to all the parks but is it better to drive our Rental veh there ourselves and park, use the shuttles to go back for afternoon breaks and back to the park and then pick up our veh when we want to leave? My thinking is during the first and last runs it will be really busy and may take time but during the middle of the day it may be quicker to take? I have an 8 and 5 year old so I am really trying to plan around them.

I am not familiar with Royal Parc Suites. We always drive to the park when we are offsite. The shuttles are limited - and then you are stuck on their schedule. You have to pay parking once per day, you can switch parks - but keep your receipt so that you don't have to pay more if you park hop. That might be a good idea to leave the car and take the shuttle IF the shuttle schedule allows that. I would try to get an idea on the shuttle schedule first. There is an "offsite" board, that you can post on and someone there might have answers specific to the Royal Parc. Ok, I just looked up your hotel, I know where it is at - we stayed at the Radisson, not far from there. It is very close. The traffic on 192 can be a pain at times, but not that big a deal. I would recommend though, if you plan on going to restaurants or grocery stores, avoid the ones close to the hotel, instead go north on 192, crossing I-4. There are some nicer restaurants and stores north rather than south.

Thanks for your help. I am glad to hear the Hotel is quite close and thank you so much for the advise to go " up the street" to shop. We got a suite with a kitchen so we will be grocery shopping after we check in.

Hey guys!

To better accomodate my parents' work schedules, and my little sister's college orientation, we had to push our trip back a week. We will now be at the Polynesian from July 23rd to the 28th. I hate having to add another week to an already long wait, but hey, at least I know we're still gonna get there.

I was also able to re-book all of our ADRs. We aren't on the dinning plan, so we're only doing 3 TS meals. I don't think I ever posted the originals, but here are the new ones.

7/24- Le Cellier @ 1:05 PM
7/26- 'Ohana @ 8:50 PM
7/27- Whispering Canyon @ 6:25 PM

 

[Kurby]

hey Kara - at least you'll be there at the same time as us


and just think - when you're supposed to be home (as per your original time) you'll still be in WDW

That is accomplishing quite a bit!

just save room for the main course

Absolutely!!!

You are welcome! I looked up your hotel, it looks very nice!! I will have to keep it in mind for the future. I will try to find the name of the shopping center where the "nice" grocery store was. They had a lot of Disney souvenirs for sale too in there, rather inexpensive. I got a cute pair of Bambi sleep pants.



Ok, we are leaving in the morning for Disney!

So, I will not be able to update the resort post for a week. I will get everything when I get back which is a week from Saturday. So if any new July Dissers get upset that they are not added, please let them know that I will get to it asap.

Newbie here!

My boyfriend and are going to be at Disney from July 12-16 and we are SO excited! We're going to be celebrating the completion of my first year of med school and his first year of grad school. We've been together 5+ years, with this last year having been long-distance, and I'm thinking this trip to Disney is going to give us another reason to celebrate!

We are staying at Pop Century and have dinner reservations the second night at CRT, the third night at Le Cellier, and the last at Coral Reef.

Can't wait!

Welcome! I have added your resort info to the list on page 55. If you would like to post your times of your ADRs Nikki can add them to the ADR list - it is always fun to see if there are other Dissers eating when you are!

Sounds like you have a lot to celebrate!!!

I am packed - except for the last minute morning stuff. We drop the dog off at 9am and pick the kids up from school around 10:15 am and then we are off. Both kids have tests they have to get through. I will be glad when we are on our way! Have a good week!

How are they giving tests on the day before break?! There are always a few kids that miss the days before or after break because they go away.

Have a wonderful time!

 

[thinktink40]

looking for some advice from those fellow DISers who have been to Fort Wilderness Cabins...Would you say renting a golf cart is a MUST or can we survive without? Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated..
