The 15's are there really heavy in mid-July.Any idea if big events/conventions are happening for the middle of July? Have noticed that mid July was excluded from agency exclusives and free dining.
didn’t think it’d be just them, but we already have so many things booked ,changing dates is probably not an option. We’ll roll with it.The 15's are there really heavy in mid-July.
The biggest impact is at the resorts. I've been at Pop Century and the bus service and the food court is the main thing impacted there. Otherwise, it's not that big of a deal, unless you get stuck and they start chanting and singing. loldidn’t think it’d be just them, but we already have so many things booked ,changing dates is probably not an option.

Finally started coming up with a bit of a plan for July, I'm a total non planner but try bro do better when we're bringing the kids! Booked a couple more ADR's at The Edison and San Angel Inn and decided we'll do VAH I've been dreaming about the deviled eggs at The Edison since trying them in December!
June 27th - July 4th - Caribbean Beach Resort Taking all my grandchildren to Disney ages 18, 17, 12, 10 and 7 plus a daughter and son in law. I know it will be very hot but do plan to hit the parks early take a long pool break and head back after dinner. Have been to Disney around 5 times over the years and I turn into a kid as soon as I hit main street! My husband will not be joining us as his love for Disney is not the same as mine. This will more than likely be my last trip as we are nearing retirement and DH and I are planning and looking forward to RVing across the country.

I don't mind at all And we have San Angel for the 5th also! I think 7:30 and I'm too lazy to look now lolWe have San Angel Inn on 7/5 and The Edison on 7/8…also thinking about VAH. We might be bumping into each other everywhere!
Added!We changed our dates. July 30-Aug 5 at AKL. Can't wait!
Can't wait to hear all about VAHFinally started coming up with a bit of a plan for July, I'm a total non planner but try bro do better when we're bringing the kids!

Jumping on board this thread. We've only ever been to Orlando in July, so don't know anything different. We are constrained by Scotland school holidays, but at least we jet out before the rest of the UK breaks up - saves us a bit of money.
Going to be staying at Coronado Springs 6-20 July, with the free QSDDP thrown in. Followed by 4 nights at Universal Royal Pacific Resort at the end of the trip. Going to be doing Disney, Universal, Discovery Cove and the SeaWorld parks. Might even pop across to Busch Gardens, but undecided about that at the moment.
I suspect this will be our last WDW trip as a family - the last trip was meant to be a 'once in a lifetime family vacation' - but then they only went and built Galaxies Edge didn't they, so that is my 50th birthday present sorted! The wife wasn't keen on returning, but was outvoted by me and my son.
Have BOG booked for breakfast on the 12th, and waiting for Space 220 ADRs to open up. Otherwise, not bothered with any other table service restaurants - we did all that last time, and found it far too constraining. Looking forward to going with the flow a bit more this trip, including going off-site a fair bit more (we missed our Denny's breakfasts last trip). No character meals either - our son will be 16 this trip, and has now grown out of them (he cringes when we show him the picture of him dancing with Cinderella at 1900 Park Fare!).
We've noticed that the closing time for AK is showing as 8:30PM every day - I seem to recall it closed later than that previously in July (and Touring Plans still has Rivers of Light starting at 9pm - half an hour after the park supposedly closes!). I presume there is still a good chance of park hours being extended yet.
Of course, the other interesting park hours to watch out for is opening time at DHS - just wonder if they are going to open earlier than the published 9am which they have got at the moment. We are looking to rope drop DHS first morning of our stay, to get the ROTR boarding group, as we will probably be up early anyway with the time difference.
One thing that looks interesting this trip is the H2O Glow party at Typhoon Lagoon - anybody else done that, and is it worth it?
Added! Congrats on the DVC purchase!Joining the July crowd as my oldest DS texted me a few weeks ago and said "Mum, I want to go see Galaxy's Edge, do you want to plan a trip?" Well he didn't have to ask me twice! As of now, it looks like our dates are June 30 - July 7, flying Jet Blue out of Buffalo. I have no idea where we are staying yet as I recently bought a resale DVC contract and am waiting for my points to load. So we will see what is available. We may add on a night or two at the Yacht Club too at Jack's request. We are looking at VAH on the 6th and have a few reservations made.
Early dinner at Ohana ~ June 30
Sci-Fi Dine In dinner ~ July 2
Oga's drinks ~ July 2
Via Napoli lunch ~ July 3
Homecomin' brunch ~ July 5
Hoping to watch the July 3rd fireworks from the Top of the World lounge if all goes to plan. Jack is doing spring semester at university to pick up a few pre-reqs for third year so this trip will be a nice break for him and also a great way to celebrate his 20th birthday! I am just thrilled that he is happy to go on a week long trip with just his Mum.

Thanks Kelly! I am so excited to do a mother/son trip! I really miss Jack when he is away at university so some 1:1 time will be great! it would be fun to all meet up at Top of the World!Awesome! The TOTWL is my back-up plan if they don't offer a MK dessert party on 7/3. We are staying at BLT so we should be allowed up! We are also considering VAH and I know @ariane37 will be there too!
