July 14-22 Saratoga springs
Welcome to our group! (LOVE your name!!!!

)
Is there a July 2021 group? Does it rain daily in July?
Ummm...
Expect it to at least rain every afternoon, and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't.
Exactly. Ponchos and/or umbrellas in the park bags at all times.
Can I join in? 7/20-7/25 at Boulder Ridge. Our first time on site!
Oooo, and at such a gorgeous resort, too! Welcome aboard!!!
Thanks for the link! I've posted it on the front page along with the discounts and events.
Hi everyone! I, too, am going in July. I’m living/working overseas and due to Covid restrictions I have not been able to go home to Virginia to see my daughters in 18 months. I am so excited to go home for a visit! So I felt like a WDW/Universal trip was in order! It’s been six years since my last WDW trip, but since then I’ve been to all the international Disney parks.
I am all kinds of jealous! The parks in Asia look completely amazing.

Post when you've chosen your dates and resort and I'll add you to the guest list!
We'll be at the Polynesian from July 23 -26th. Really hoping for 'Ohana as well, but it will be fine either way. This is our first trip as a family of 4 at the Poly so a quick 4-day weekend was in order. I guess I didn't realize F&W started so early. That is a very pleasant surprise. Now I hope the EP monorail is running by then. It will be HOT in July, so plenty of pool time will be in order as well.
Howdy!!! Based on all the news that came out this week, 'Ohana seems like a natural for a summer opening, IMHO, and I am right there with you about the EP monorail. Crossing fingers for it!
It seems like July is so far away with Memorial Day still in the future.
Could not agree more!!!
As of May 15, 2021, Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, hotels, and Disney Springs will no longer require guests to wear masks when outdoors.
However, masks will still be required at Disney’s theme parks when guests are indoors, when guests are in the queue for attractions, and when guests are experiencing attractions. Masks will also be required while guests are using Disney transportation, including transportation entrances.
While guests must still wear masks indoors, they may remove them when actively eating or drinking while stationary. Guests may also continue removing masks while visiting the pools.
Well, there it is. I think we all kind of knew it was coming, although I have to say I was surprised they moved on it
that quickly. Again, this is only my uneducated opinion, but if capacity isn't up to at least 50% by the time we arrive, I will eat that mask I don't have to wear outside (although I will still have one in my pocket to wear inside

). Hopefully that also means more restaurants and fewer capacity restrictions at the pools.
Bottom line, July Friends, we have plenty of time to prepare or, if it's what's best for us and our families, change our plans. I realize there are people on both sides of the fence about the masks, but let's please take that discussion to any of the other threads dedicated to the topic.

There
are lots of positives to focus on, and for me, whatever version of Disney awaits,
