I am kinda bummed about going in summer just because there is no point in planning cute outfits.. On winter trips I like to bound as fun characters, but this trip is going to be all functional clothes. I’m not worried about the heat. It’s pretty similar to E TN summers….but I don’t usually spend 10 hours outside at home. So, moisture wicking and minimal layers!
I also love to do laundry. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time trying to decide what kind of laundry detergent to pack. I used little packets of Woolite last trip but I’m out. I’m certain this means I’m crazy, but I’m ok with that. I pack just a carry on so I typically have to wash everything once on the trip.
Has anyone been to the groceries near WDW? I need to go for water, sunscreen, Gatorade packets, etc when I get there and I’m not sure if any particular store is better stocked than another….
Just a recommendation: Arm & Hammer sells laundry detergent pods (with or without Oxyclean) that are powdered - not liquid. They're great for traveling since you don't have to worry about them taking up space in your 3-1-1 bag. (We also do carryon only and plan on a load of wash mid-week. I love it!)
Same! I can’t wait to try out some new things at food and wine
I received a tracking number for our bands on July 9 for our trip that starts July 29.
Did you re-book at another resort or did you just cancel it fully?I'm happy about the monorail reopening, but have read several articles with some more information, which are predicting a reopening of the Polynesian monorail station based on Disney ending bus service from the Polynesian to EPCOT in "mid-August." https://www.wdwmagic.com/transporta...orail-will-return-to-service-july-18-2021.htm
WDW sent me a boilerplate "news about your upcoming visit" e-mail on June 28th, informing me that the monorail station at the Polynesian would NOT be open during my stay. The e-mail contained my specific reservation number and arrival date (8/21). We canceled our reservation at the Polynesian -- which was made months ago and was fully paid off -- based on that information. Now, 2 weeks later, WDW seems to think the station will be open by mid-August? I feel like one hand clearly doesn't know what the other is doing when it comes to Disney's communications to guests.
This is really frustrating: while I believe everything happens for a reason and that somehow I'll end up being glad we canceled, I'm really angry that WDW misled me into dropping a reservation I'd been really excited about, at a resort I won't have the chance to return to for years. Forgive the melodrama in my reaction: tomorrow, I'll try and put it aside so this doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth during our vacation, but today, I shall pout!
The Poly monorail construction still has a ways to go. The epcot line is from the TTC station, which is and has always been unaffected by the Poly construction and is used by Poly guests to get to MK while construction is ongoing at the Poly.I'm happy about the monorail reopening, but have read several articles with some more information, which are predicting a reopening of the Polynesian monorail station based on Disney ending bus service from the Polynesian to EPCOT in "mid-August." https://www.wdwmagic.com/transporta...orail-will-return-to-service-july-18-2021.htm

The announcement that the Epcot line is reopening will in no way change the construction at the Polynesian. They are 2 different loops of track that don't ever touch one another.I'm happy about the monorail reopening, but have read several articles with some more information, which are predicting a reopening of the Polynesian monorail station based on Disney ending bus service from the Polynesian to EPCOT in "mid-August." https://www.wdwmagic.com/transporta...orail-will-return-to-service-july-18-2021.htm
