Hi! I'm posting my dates and then going back and rereading this whole thread! So exciting!
My husband and I will be celebrating our (twice delayed) Disneymoon this July!

We will be at WDW from June 26th to July 11th! We are doing a split stay (DVC)! We will be at the Polynesian, Copper Creek Villas, and Animal Kingdom Lodge!

SO EXCITING!

Let us know how doing a multi-split stay is! Doing a split stay at end of July.

I will! I am hoping it's smooth! We wanted to experience a lot of different resorts and hopefully have some good 'rest' days this trip!

just booked the Dolphin, 7/6-7/12. Girls trip! im bringing my daughter and her bestie. It's to celebrate their highscool graduation. We're so excited!!

Welcome to our group! And it sounds like YOUR group is going to have a blast!

Changed our dates to June 28-July 6 at Pop Century- we're so excited!
I've never spent the 4th of July at Disney before.. I'm a little nervous now about crowds after seeing how packed spring break got though!

The parks still won't be at pre-Covid capacity, so I think "packed" may be kind of a relative term these days. In any case, you're a Disney vet, you know what to do, and you're going to have a GREAT time!

Hi - we have postponed our April 2020 trip to July 23! we will be doing a split stay from July 23-28 at Beach Club and July 28-Aug 1 at Polynesian. We can't wait and are so happy you started this thread!

The very best of both worlds!!! We own at the Poly and we LOVE YC, which I know isn't BC, but STORMALONG!!! This sounds like a fabulous split stay!!!

First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Sounds like you're giving yourselves plenty of time to really enjoy each of the resorts, which is great since all three have soooooo much to see and do!

Our list is really growing! And our newest member, TinkerTracy, is also currently our member with the earliest arrival, a mere 103 days away! IT'S GETTING CLOSER, PEOPLE!!!

 

[TinkerTracy]

Thank you so much! I cannot wait to be down there! I will make sure to update when we arrive and answer any questions!

You are all awesome!

I will! I have only done one other split stay but we are brand new to DVC and my husband hasn't stayed at these resorts before so we wanted to hop around and see them! I'll report back!

I am making our park pass reservations and I am torn for what park(s) to choose for 4th of July. I have never been to WDW during this time!

Part of me thinks fireworks will be back so maybe I should go see those at MK/EP. The other part of me thinks we should go to AK/HS for lower crowds.

Any thoughts?

Just a complete random opinion but I don't think fireworks will be back by then, but I could be pleasantly surprised! It would be amazing!

Yeah I've been going back and forth thinking they WILL be back...and then thinking they WON'T be back haha. It's impossible to tell now! I'm leaning towards a HS/AK day and hoping for lower crowds. Or maybe doing a resort day!

So excited to join you all in July! We are finally booked for Ju!y 18-July 25, staying at SOG. We were so sad to miss our 2020 trip, but we are thrilled to finally be planning another Disney vacation. There have been so many changes, I have a ton of catching up to do. Good to be back.

Hi everyone!!

Just booked (like 90 minutes ago) a CBR stay for me and the 2 kids (10 and 9) for 7/8-7/15! We were supposed to be there august 2020 but obviously had to cancel. I'm still a bit nervous that Disney is going to be so different, but I'm excited to try and go with the flow... maybe... I don't know. I'm hoping that capacity stays somewhat low - or we get fastpasses back - or something. Not holding my breath!

Just wondering if anyone has heard any rumors or think there will be room discounts for mid-July and after ...

Just booked! 7/4-7/11 at Caribbean Beach in a Pirate room. It will be my son’s 7th birthday on 7/5. He has been a few times but we have never done a surprise trip! He has been a trooper with everything over the last year and has worked so hard in 1st grade this year, so this is the year. I’ve been in July before, so we are preparing for “surface of the sun” heat. My hubs and I stayed in CBR before the big renovation there. It wasn’t our favorite TBH but we are willing to give it another shot and the Pirate room will be a big hit I am sure!

I took my daughter on a last minute trip in September because I thought she'd shown great character throughout all the tough Covid issues. I surprised her with a magic band after school on our way to the airport! It was fun to do all her favorite things.

We just booked a trip for the last week of July. There seems to be a lot of July experts on this thread.

Any tips for keeping cool in the heat?

I am wondering this too. I have 3 nights booked at CSR 7-22 to 7-25 but wanted to split stay 7-25 to 7-28. I either want to break the bank and surprise my mom for her 70th and my sis for her 50th at POLY or I am going the safe route and renting points at SSR. I can’t decide what to do. My mom has Military Salute benefits but I don’t know how much off that is. I was hoping the late summer discounts will be good.

 

[Keen0420]

Hi my July Peeps! We are booked 7-22 thru 7-25 at CSR and will be adding to our trip for a split stay location unknown at this time. Most probably we will rent at SSR to take advantage of DS. This is a 70th bday celebration for my mom and a 50th bday for my sister so I am thinking about surprising them at the Poly if any discounts come out. I go back and forth since our park days are limited and we are focusing more on a resort only time. I am soooooo excited for this trip, I can’t stand the excitement!!!! I really want this to be more special than words for them with me bringing lots of surprise fun things as pixie dust for them as we go along.
