I did read that the 4th of July week was less crowded last year, actually most of July. So I hope it is the same this coming year. Do you know what dates were listed for the dining offer last year?Last year a dining offer was issued for the summer on 12/28 and the room discounts on 3/27. I am going to be watching now, can this be the official watch thread?
Things are tentative right now, but we're looking at 7/4-7/9. We don't really want to go over the Fourth due to heat and crowds, but with a college daughter with a summer semester and a super busy HS junior, this time period causes the least havoc with schedules.

We're also hoping for a discount code for July. Beach Club is our top choice, but we'd need the price to come down a bit before we can justify it.

We havent been the end of July but have been the end of June and mid August. Just make a plan. Arriving at rope drop is a good idea even though we didn't every time. Crowds starting building up around 10:00 or 10:30 so you can get a lot done before that, then start fast pass times. We found out if you keep refreshing over and over the MDE for FP one will pop up for the ride you want for the 4th FP ect.. We make dining reservations about midday to get a break from the heat and crowds to refresh us. Or we go back to the resort for awhile. We never wait in line for more then 20 minutes, if the waits are longer then that we skip it or search for a FP.
Also if a park is open past 11:00 people begin to leave about that time so crowds drop. The only ones that were open late last year were AK and MKThanks for this! We'll definitely need a plan, and don't mind an early start, so I'm hopeful.
Good to know about the Fps. Luckily my kids are older and won't be devastated if they miss any certain ride, and don't need to meet any characters, they're just as happy to hang out at the pool!
