My family leaves for WDW one month from today!!

 

[Haygar2]

Count me in!! 39 days out. We are staying at OKW. Got a great deal with the Disney+ discount. We were staying at WL but I saved a ton by switching. It's my first ever girl's trip. The husbands aren't coming. Our trip is July 18th-22nd.

We were able to switch our reservation with the Disney+ deal as well. Changed from Carribean Beach Resort to Saratoga Springs for just $100 more. Excited to try something new. We opted for a standard 1 bedroom villa so we could request to be close to one of the first bus stops.

We're 37 days out!!! July 17 - 21 at VGF for our 10th Anniversary and first timers at Food & Wine! SO pumped!!

 

[catsinawindow]

We leave one month from tomorrow (staying overnight at the airport July 11, arriving at Disney July 12). I am SO EXCITED!!

 

[Rustysmom]

We'll be at Boardwalk Inn July 17-22. First time staying there.

Thoughts on whether/when park hours may be extended? I know AK always closes earlier, but 7pm is still fully daylight in July and I thought it might be open later. MK is currently closing at 11, so I feel like that at least may be extended in July. Here's hoping!

Just editing my post to note that AK is currently open until 8:00 & is listed that way until the second week of July (when I'm looking). Also, EP and DHS seem to have regular opening at 8:30 for June...

Seems very early for AK but that is why we planned on doing hoop dee doo that evening. Maybe attendance is down during that time?

Is anyone looking for Topolinos Terrace breakfast on Tuesday, July 19? I booked this as a backup since I couldn't get a time earlier than 11:55 on our preferred date, but we've decided we're just going to go with the preferred date, even if we need to wait until 11:55 (and hopefully we can move it earlier once our trip gets closer)!

I am planning to drop a Topolinos breakfast reservation for 5 people at 9:55 AM on July 19th. Happy to coordinate the drop if someone here wants to try to pick it up! I'll plan to post on the ADR board if there's no takers here.

I'll take it if you still have it!

I'll take it if you still have it!

Sorry, I gave it to someone else a while ago. I hope you're still able to get one!

Just saw this posted in the Rumors & News thread:

The park will continue to close at 9:00 p.m.

So excited that extended hours are now officially from 11 pm to 1 am. I know those with young kids don't like it, but it is perfect for us. This is also how we are ending our trip and so ending it by walking down Main Street with few people is just perfect in my mind.

Oh, we'll be there with my grandkids asleep in the stroller.

My kids are finally at an age we can take advantage of this. Might have to send my mom (grandma) back to the room early, though.

Hi everyone! I'll be in Port Orleans Riverside from the 18th to the 24th of July and then the Dolphin from the 25th to the 31st of July.
I don't know if this is the right board for it, but I will also be in Disneyland from the 11th to the 17th of July and the Wish from August 5th to 8th. Looking forward to seeing who is around on those dates as well, doing an adults-only trip with my mum and some of her friends and mine joining us at various points.

Hoping to stay awake this year long enough to see fireworks on the 4th from the Springs - LOL.

Wanted to make sure everyone saw that there will be a 2nd showing of the MK fireworks for part of July!
