Aww, could you tell me about the crowds?

As for my experience, there really weren't a lot of crowds. The things we waited the longest for were Test Track, which I think was around 40 minutes, and Soarin', which was probably an hour. On the plus side, fast passes are easier to score.

I know you didn't ask me, but as for weather, we were swimming one night at 11:00, and freezing the next night, so that's pretty much hit or miss.

Restaurants aren't crowded at all. We were able to snag ADRs with less than two months until our vacation. Of course, we weren't eating at Le Cellier, either.

Oh, wow!!!!! That would be great!!!!
That was my next question was the weather!
I know the first year we went together was November 1997. During the day we wore shorts, at night sweatshirts and jeans!!!!

I was a little worried about the restaurants because I am the one that calls 180 days out to get my ressies!!

You should be good, but if you want something like Le Cellier, I'd try for it ASAP.

We've only gone in July due to the kids school schedule, but next year my DH and I are going in January for our anniversary......just the 2 of us......no kiddos. I still can't believe it. Believe it or not, my DH planned the whole trip and surprised me with it once he had made all the reservations. I'm looking forward to seeing how much different Disney is when it's not 90 degrees out.

Wow, I bet July is hot and crowded!!!!!!!!!
That is so cool!!!!!!! Plus, very sweet!!!!
I don't blame you for looking forward to the nice, cooler weather!!!

Idk if weather is an issue at all, but i would imagine the last week of february would be the best if your looking for something warmer.. but don't take my word.. I know nothing about Florida weather

July is bad but we don't know any different so I guess that's why we keep doing it. I always make my ADR's at exactly 180 days out so I was a little worried when we were passed that, but we didn't have any problem getting everything we wanted. We got Le Cellier, California Grill (timed to watch Wishes), Kona, Boma's, and Cinderella's Royal Table. I don't have the list in front of me, these are all I can remember. Yes, we're eating in the castle with no kids. I don't think you'll have problems getting the restaurants you want.

I sure hope not! I think we might actually try to book an early CRT so she can see the princesses!!

You will have to let me know how the party turns out though!

Yea!!!!! Okay, I made our reservations for our February trip! We are going February 6th through the 11th. We might add even the 5th. Now I feel better!

 

[iluv2go2disney]

Yay!! It's official. You're going in February.

 

[hlrababy]

Yay!! It's official. You're going in February.

Yes!!!! I am so excited!! I am a little worried about the ADR's, because I do them exactly 180 days out but I am waiting to see when they release the Pirate and Princess party! Hopefully they will release it soon!

 

[iluv2go2disney]

I've been reading about changes to ADR's, like how many days out you can make them. There's a few threads about it. They're changing things and then it goes back to 180 days. Have you heard about this?
OK I just checked the thread and they just opened it up today for ressies through Feb. 25th, so you're not to far behind.
