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

You are so funny! I am totally the same way...."But what if we do this instead?" I don't know....pool view over Savannah? I've never stayed at AKL so keeping that in mind, I feel like if I'm not getting Savannah view what is the point? On the other hand, an extra day in the park is VERY useful, especially in July!

Gee...thanks I said the same thing about the savanna view. What's the point if you don't go all the way, but an extra night, and getting another chance for MK PM EMH (which is our favorite way to end a trip?) Hmm...........

Your husband would just think we are all nuts! (I am and I am okay with it.)

He already thinks I am nuts for spending all this time on the DIS boards. But that's okay. I quietly remind him that during wrestling season, he is on his wrestling forum all the time and he stays quiet. It's Disney season so I am allowed to obsess.

I just found this thread 3 days ago! I've been thinking everything through on my own and now I see this thread with all of you guys! I spent three days reading to be current here.

We will be at BC July 2 to the 5th and then BWV 5th-10th. I have ADR's but still have so much up in the air. Hopefully everything will get worked out.

Those shirts are TOO CUTE!! Did you say someone on the DIS made them, or someone on the DIS recommended someone who could make them? I'd love to do one too


Ok, I need some opinions, again I gave up on moving to Beach Club or Poly....I don't want DH to be uncomfortable financially and AKL should be great! So we talked today and here's what we're debating. Adding another night would be the exact equivalent to moving from savanna view to pool view. Soooo.....what would you do?

Savanna view for 5 nights
Pool view for 6 nights

Adding the extra night would mean one more chance for MK PM EMH which are our favorite! But the savanna view.....?

??? ???

I would definitely take the extra night at Disney over the view --jmho! Good luck with your decision!!!

Welcome!!! If you want to post those ADRs once you've got them set, I will add them to the master list on the top of page 7!

Just finished house cleaning - inlaws are coming in on Wednesday for DD's graduation on Friday. Amazing how much dust there was! I felt like it was the Tower of Terror lobby or the Haunted Mansion! Why does everything I do relate to Disney???

 

[Mom2Elliot]

My shirts are done!!!

I ordered 2 tie dyed shirts from someone a DISer recommended and she just sent me a picture of them!! I am so excited to wear that red, white and blue one on the 4th!!!

So cute!

IMO, change to water view and stay the extra night!!

Welcome!! I have added you to the list on page 150. I have a lot up in the air too - and the countdown ticker is dropping rapidly! I am sure we will all get everything done and have a wonderful time!

Lauren, I am sorry for your loss.

Looking forward to hearing where you decide to stay.

Thank you. It does get a little easier every year, however, when those milestone years come up, it can be pretty bad.

We decided to go with Coronado Springs. Maybe next time, we'll go with a deluxe.

We also made one ADR. Sat 7/24 5:05PM at 50's Prime Time. The 24th is the anniversary of the stillbirth and that is DH's favorite place to eat, plus HS is one of his 2 favorite parks.

Still have a lot of planning to do, but it will keep my mind occupied.

Nikki, those are so cool. You need to post where you got them.

Love the shirts!!

Finally had a chance to revisit the Park Hours. I hadn't for several months so this may be old news to some of you.

However, I noticed some changes:

AK - opened until 7pm on select days, 8pm other days (previously I only had 6pm)

TL - added an EMH day 7/14

DHS - opened until 10pm on select days (previously I only had 9pm).

I still need to reconfirm the parade hours but will report back if there are any changes.

Oh yeah, love dancing too!!! Before I started doing heavy weight lifting in the Fall, I used to do Turbo Jam, which is a combination of kick boxing moves and dancing, it was so much fun! Then I started doing ChaLEAN Extreme, a DVD program created by the same person who created Turbo Jam. It's 3 days a week of weight lifting (heavy weights, lifting very slowly), and 2 days of aerobics. Sometimes I would do the Turbo Jam workouts on cardio days, for variety. I do miss working out and I am going crazy...but a few more days and I should be fine! I woke up this morning, and feeling even better!

I didn't think about my back healing faster because I am fit...it makes sense though. Still a little nervous about working out again but I will take it easy. Once you feel better sometimes you forget and do too much too fast, and I am not going to let myself fall into that trap!

I love Turbo Jam and ChaLEAN Extreme. Chalene Johnson has a new program coming out on 6/18 called Turbo Fire and I can't wait for it.
