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

[Ilovedis30]

OOh 95 degrees, I must say that scares me,lol. I think that being at Disney will make it slightly better. I am definately doing the tank and shorts everyday as well. We are staying at CBR and fully plan on making use of the main pool and quiet pools as well.

 

[mdrob214]

Anyone following the 50 days of Disney music? I missed a few songs. And I was wondering who could e-mail me the songs. Or maybe through msn? I dunno.

PM your email address to me---I have them all.

On that note, I thought I'd post a link to my new thread here. Since we're all getting into that phase of needing to go buy our Disney Supplies It's a thread about good deals and sales currently for things you take to Disney. Please contribute so we can all save some money

Going to have to check it out--thanks!

Salut et bienvenue! Une autre Nancy du Québec (mais j'habite au
Vermont maintenant)! Nous serons là au même temps du 8 au 19 juillet !

I got to practice my French from back in the day! Thanks I haven't used it since college! (it isn't very good, either)

It really IS better being in WDW! Besides--most attractions have a/c and it feels sooo good!

41 days! Last night I was looking at my plan for our week and realized we weren't going to see MSEP until our last night. I got online and imagin my surprise when I was able to move our Ohana ADR up to 5:10 on the 7th. Wow! I must've just gotten lucky, but I'm not complaining.

It's why I became a French teacher, so I wouldn't lose my language nor my cultural identity! We have a whole lot of quebecois up here in Vermont!

40 days for me!!

I can't believe it! It seems like it was just last week that I woke up on a Saturday morning and realized that we have to book our trip NOW because our 180 day was 2 days ago!!

Now we're just 5 1/2 weeks away! It will be here before we know it!

Oooh, if you are only at 40 days that means I'm not much further behind you!!

We're really trying to just use carryons this trip - don't ask me HOW, we'll be there 12 days. I'm skeptical, but DH thinks we can. At any rate, I'm pulling out all of my lightest, thinnest stuff and delegating it all to the Disney pile.

You are brave!! In the summer heat, we'll probably go with one outfit in the AM, swimsuits in the afternoon and another outfit at night! Of course with small kids, that means having another outfit in the stroller just in case. I'm actually glad we aren't flying this time -- just so we can take some more clothes!

 

[tinkerbell60]

can you add me to the list

we will be there on july 8 to july 17.
We will be staying at the Pop

Welcome!! I have added you to the resort list on page 100.

That is an advantage of driving - so much easier to over pack - but I still end up doing laundry while we are there!!

 

[Kara]

Anyone else have NOTHING done???
Baseball season stinks LOL and it will be going on right up to the day we leave! in fact we are missing out "playoffs" that they decided to do this year of all years lol!

That would be me - I have a partial box "packed" with our ponchos and laundry stuff - that has remained packed since we went in March. But, that is it! Too busy with the end of the school year stuff to concentrate!

 

[ocalla]

Speaking of ponchos, I know that we need to get some for the daily afternoon rain, but now sure if we should get the cheap dollar store kind? or if it would be better to purchase a better brand?

Any ideas on this?

Je viens aussi du Québec!

Bienvenue mesdames!

That is a tough one. The dollar store ones are very disposable - not very reusable. If you have a day that you need to take them on and off a lot, you might end up spending as much as just buying the sturdier Disney ponchos. We went for several summer trips, never needing to buy one, but then we had to break down and purchase them 2 years ago. We still have the same ponchos and they have more than paid for themselves. If you are going to go with the Disney ponchos, just wait and buy them when you need them - they sell them everywhere.

 

[mickeysbutler]

i am feeling way excited and way freaked out at the same time! sooo not prepared this time! July 1st -10th. pop century

You are quite welcome!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Oh my god, my Magical Express tags came in the mail today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooo HoooO!! Sooo close!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

I want to pack, but we don't have Disney specific clothes. (Besides, DH thinks I am crazy enough as it is.) I do have a bin in the basement with the trip stuff I've picked up: Misters, ponchos, car activities for my girls.

Like other teachers, I am trying to make it through the end of the year. Then, I can really obsess over my packing!

Welcome to you both!!!

That's exactly what I do! Except I usually have about a month after school gets out to obsess over packing and this time, I only have 1 week! So I am starting to freak a little bit...I'll get it all done, though. I always do!

 

[gamomof2]

I'm so jazzed. DH really only wanted to try to eat one particular place while at WDW. Le Cellier. He likes the restaurant atmosphere and the meat and truly enjoys it. I had been unable to get anything at such short notice but this weekend I was playing around with the online reservation system and got a 5:30 for July 4th. It's alittle earlier than we normally eat but gives us time to get out and wherever we want to go for fireworks.

I was thinking Epcot had a special show on July 4th?

So I get to add Le Cellier at 5:30 pm on July 4th to our list.
