This is mentioned elsewhere, but just FYI for anyone planning: July 6 will be the last day to visit Rivers of America before it closes to start on the new cars land.

Ok final decision made. Felt a bit uneasy with a split stay. Modified and locked in SSR for our dates July 12th-July 20th. Now going to work on the rest of the details with ADRs and day by day.

Happy to join the cool kids (what a misnomer) at the end of July! Our dates are July 22-29.

We are hubby and me, 2 adult children with their spouses, and 3 grands ages 2,3, and 7- staying at Bay Lake Tower. Like others, we switched resorts when the free dining offer came out. We were originally staying at 2 bd Poly, club level....and ended up saving a couple thousand by switching to BLT. I'm happy with the walkability to MK. This will be the oldest granddaughter's 3rd WDW trip.

With a party of 9 I had to split most of our ADRs and hoping to be seated together for them as times are all within 5 min of each other.

Pre-Park opening BF at Crystal Palace,
Dinner ADRs at Chef Mickey's, Space 220, Sci Fi Drive In, O'hana, Steakhouse 71, and Vis Napoli.

Hubby and I have the Fireworks Package at Geo-82 on the Sunday night of our trip and I'm hoping for Celebration at the Top if that opens up. Very excited to have nabbed a Cabana at our resort mid-trip on Saturday. Looking forward to making memories with our family! Thank you for this thread!

Test track opening the week of my trip (July 22). Yay but so much for lower crowds at epcot.

I emailed guest services and got the following response from the VIP passholder help desk regarding park pass reservations for pass holders starting July 20:


So it appears passholders park hopping (even after 2 pm) will need a park pass reservation to one of the parks (not necessarily MK) to go to MK staring July 20.
