*** The Official July 2014 thread, join us won't you? ***

How are you all planning to attack park touring?

In previous years, we would hit the parks as early as possible and stack fastpasses. We used the stand by lines while the waits were short, had lunch then used our FPs.

Now that things have changed, I have to come up with a new plan of attack.

I haven't read many of the of FP+, FP- threads because I just can't take the sky is falling moans.

I'm thinking it may be best to schedule FP+ for the afternoons/evening and use a tour plan(Unofficial Guide??) for morning touring.

We love to ride our favorites as many times as possible each trip. I hope this won't change during this trip. I'll never forget the morning my son rode TOT 10 times in a row (my drop limit is 3 in a row:rotfl:) with very little wait.

It's not so much FP+ in and of itself that's concerning me, but more so the tiering they're starting to implement that has me a little apprehensive. We also have two thrill riders and two non thrill riders so it seems as though we won't be able to ride anything all together unless we do rope drop and hit those things early in the morning.
 
With the tiering for example, at Epcot you are allowed one choice from group 1 and 2 choices from group 2. They have test track and soaring together in group 1. So that means you can't pick both of them. You have to choose one or the other.
 

Just got off the phone with an AMAZING CM to book our trip June 6th through the 15th! :cool1:pixiedust::yay:

So the new system may work out pretty well with the new system.
 
So excited to tell you all that I'll officially be joining you this July :cool1:

I'll be at Disney World from July 6th-13th at the Contemporary Resort! I haven't been to Disney since 7th grade, and I'll be a senior in high school this September, so this is an especially exciting trip :)

:yay:July is just 7mons away!!!!!!:yay: During July we'll all hit the magic 180 day out mark. Where is every one in your planing? I think i have everything figured out. The main thing I have left to do is book a hotel room for the travel to and from Florida. Did any one get or planing getting trip insurance? I forgot all about this until this morning.
 
Here too! Staying July 1-9th at CBR and I'm struggling to make my plan for the week! Anyone have any thoughts on where to be on the 3rd & 4th? Or maybe where to stay away from?

:welcome: to our wonderful July Thread!!! We are happy to have you. Sorry I have been MIA for a bit, crazy time of year. But, at least the time is flying by so we can soon say our trips are only 6 months away. We are at the 7 month mark now and obviously counting! Glad to see you both have made yourselves at home and joined in the chatter. We have a great group here and I will add you both to the front page. As you can see by the first entry, we have the entire month covered.
What I would like to do is add ADR's when people get them and where you plan to be on each day of our trips. That way it will help facilitate Dismeets.
Glad to have you on board and here's to a fast moving countdown for us all!!!
 
So....our family isn't able to go to the beach with us after all, so we are switching back to July/August. Our dates are July 30- August 5 @ AKL. Hoping park hours get released around the 19th like last month so I can at least start the planning process. Really want to know park days.

Hello Angalee - Sorry about your trip to the beach.. Glad to see ya back on the July thread.

How's the weather there? Fort Worth really got hit with the ice and the bitter cold. Not use to it and very hard to drive in the ice.

Midori started her Basketball Season and we had a progressive dinner again for Thanksgiving.

How is your Holiday's going for you? :goodvibes

It's ok about the beach. There is just a lot going on in our family right now so it's not going to work out, but that also means that I can go to Disney when we really wanted to, so that is fine. We are a little off our original dates, but not by much.

Glad to hear you guys are doing well. We just got done with two snow/ice days. This early on, it was making me really concerned that the dates we picked for June would not work anyway. Making up possible snow days at the end of the school year would have really messed up flights, etc.

We are having a few little snow flakes this morning, but nothing accumulating this time. That's fine. I have too many things to finish for Christmas.

Hope you have a great weekend.
