    July 2023 planning and chat thread!

    My family and I will be there 7/16 & 7/17 my birthday is the 16th and of course DL’s is the 17th! It will be my husband, my DS 23 and DD 18! We consider WDW our home park but made the trip to DL for my 50th five years ago and loved it! This is a picture of us on that trip! We will be coming off...

    Do you think DL will get to capacity for park hopping on 7/17?

    Thanks! I was there for these same dates five years ago and everything went great, just wasn’t sure with this 100 celebration.

    Do you think DL will get to capacity for park hopping on 7/17?

    I’m heading to DL for two days in July, specifically 7/16 and 7/17. The 16th is my birthday and I’d like to start out at DL and hop over to DCA, so it would maybe make sense to start at DCA on the 17th but that is the birthday/anniversary of DL, and I definitely want to spend time in that park...

    Our First Mother/Daughter Trip ❤️

    I'm back! Not much was happening with our Disney trip planning waiting for our Fastpass day... But my daughter and I went on a cruise for her spring break, it was just the two of us for this trip as well, my son has a different spring break than my daughter and went on a ski trip with some...

    Check at 60 days out. I currently have two for our July trip and will be dropping one once I see how my FastPasses work out and which day would be best for us to go. Good Luck!

    Cost of Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian?

    Not too young at all! I started taking my daughter when she was four to the children’s tea with the doll, may be called Perfectly Princess Tea, we have been about 6-7 times since! She loves it as much as I do, try one of the fruity varieties to start, and my daughter loads it up with sugar...

    Cost of Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian?

    I actually think tea at the GF is reasonably priced compared to comparable upscale hotels. We’ve done tea at The Drake in Chicago and it was about the same price, also did The Plaza in NYC and it was about $170 for myself and my daughter, she was about 12 and had the Eloise tea. I have found...

    Our First Mother/Daughter Trip ❤️

    Thanks! I’m sure she will! I will be very interested in hearing your experience! I’ve heard mixed reviews about Storybook but we will keep it regardless, I love the Wilderness Lodge, it will be nice to go back there for a visit and it’s early in our trip so if it doesn’t live up, we’ll have...

    Our First Mother/Daughter Trip ❤️

    Thanks for joining in! My daughter still loves Disney and is as excited as I am! We’re even doing the three princess meals, I love that Disney extends their childhood a bit!

    Our First Mother/Daughter Trip ❤️

    I really liked the sence of spontaneity at DL, fast passes are readily available and can’t be booked until the day of your visit so it is a lot less stressful and easier to plan than a WDW trip. But it is what it is, so I’m in planning mode and have developed a loose itinerary. I can book our...

    Our First Mother/Daughter Trip ❤️

    So I’m Carol and my daughter is Jackie, she’s 15. When the dining offer came out i researched for about three weeks, it worked out that the least expensive week was the week of July 13, my birthday is July 16th, so Bonus, I get to spend another birthday at Disney! We were looking at the...

    Our First Mother/Daughter Trip ❤️

    Just realized we leave three months from today! We haven’t been to WDW since 2014. But had a wonderful trip to Disneyland to celebrate my 50th last July! What better place to mark half a decade than the Happiest Place on Earth! It was such a great trip, gave me the itch to go back to WDW, then...

    1900 Park Fare Photos

    Does anyone know if you get an actual photo in a folio from the Photographer like Chef Mickey or CRT? Or do they just take your photo? Just wondering? I travel light with just a small crossbody purse. Don’t necessarily want to carry it around all day, when we did CRT we got a locker to put it...

I don’t remember it being at nine in the morning but it looks like it is, it’s everyday except Tuesday and Thursday according to what I could find on the...

    AFTERNOON TEA OPTIONS FOR OUR 5 YEAR OLD OPTIONS @GF

    I have done tea twice and just booked it for our upcoming trip in July! The standard tea is pretty much as described above. But I have also done the Princess tea with my daughter, this was in 2008, so I’m not sure of the current price, but it includes the adult, child and the child gets the doll...

    TWEEN GIRL Christmas Gift ideas!!!!

    Great ideas! My DD 10 is getting and I-Phone 5C, we can get it free from Verizon by adding her to our plan, but it will be her main gift, of course we will have to start paying her data plan, but we are dropping the home phone, so really only adds about 10-15 per month. She LOVES Vera Bradley...
