Thanks, Bob. That link did not work, so I thought I'd try posting another link that might work:

What a great club, thanks for starting it. I meet several of the criteria, in fact I am drinking coffee out of one of my many Disney mugs as I am writing this.

I do have A couple of new criteria for you.

1. " A year before your wedding your best friend tells you he thinks your just getting in to WDW because you are trying to get in good with your fiances Disney fanatic parents, then two years after you have been married he tells you he has never been more wrong about anything."

2. " Your goal is to stay at every resort on property and you are always asking friends of yours, who are in the military, to go on vacation with you so you can get onto Shades of Green"

Thanks again, Jenna's Dad.

Hey fellow Dads.

Coming up on the month mark to our AKL trip and I'm looking for some last minute advice on July travel to the world.
We've never done the summer thing and to be honest I'm not a big fan of extreme crowds. So my strategy is to hit the parks at the opening and heading to the pool for the afternoon.
We've got some great dinner adrs planned, so the nights should be dinner then fireworks.

Any opinions, thoughts, and/or tips are welcome.

It's going to be myself, the wife, and our 2 and 4 year old girls.

Haven't been to the World during the summer either... that's crazy talk but I think you have a good plan by visiting the parks early and taking advantage of the pool in the afternoon. Even in May this was a good strategy to avoid the large crowds in the middle of the afternoon.

I'm excited for you! Not too much longer

I'll be at the CSR around the same time...July18-29.

Our plan is to hit the parks both early and late...taking advantage of the EMH's on late days...depending on how late we stay is how early we tackle a park the next day.

Maybe I'll see you down there. I'll be the slightly chubby one wearing a San Diego Chargers hat (either Powder Blue, Navy, or Kakhi).

I would definately make good use of fastpasses. Get in and get them early, remember you can also use your fastpass after the time posted. ie. if it says return 9:15-10:15, that fast pass is good after 10:15 as well. We get some fast passes in the morning and use them in the evening when we came back to the park. Sometimes EMH at night can make the park really busy during that day. If you have hoppers maybe visit another park during the day and then hit EMH that night. If you haven't been since TSM opened in DHS, you really want to get to that first. We had a posted wait time of over an hour sometimes and we were there in Jan.

Good luck, and have a great time.
