Oh, no! I hope it's just something minor!I need pixie dust, guys. My husband hurt his knee who knows how and we have an appointment with the ortho today. I'm hoping he won't need surgery.
As for our trip, he says he will ride a scooter and not care who judges him. lol. I feel terrible for him. Fingers crossed this is just minor!
We are DVC so we get a deluxe stay every year but for our other trips we usually do mods and its fine. I have even done value though I do not prefer it at all.We’re there almost the same dates as you, and also our first time in a deluxe! (YC) I’m a little worried it’ll ruin us for staying mod again, but we really loved POR, so we’ll probably be ok.
I can save myself a whole $9 a night with AP rates but it won't let me book. Fortunately we got such an awesome deal on the Sun & Fun at CSR that nothing other than the AP rates can come close to it.Insomnia saved me 150.00
AP discounts for summer released. Got parts of my split cheaper
Now back to
ETA: Now that I am really awake, went back in and changed 3 nights at CR to the summer GC deal, so that should get me 120 in GC. (Saved me 12.00 in the booking as well)

So 65 days until our July trip but I have two trips before that. Our May trip is in 2 days!!!!! And our June trip is in 39.
For July we are the 4th-7th. I think we will drive part of the way down on the 3rd (we are in Atlanta) and then finish up on the 4th. Originally we were just going to start out around 6am on the 4th but I don't want to be too tired for that evening.
7/4 - MK, Dessert Party booked, will start FPs at 5:30pm as we aren't going to rush to get in. Last year they closed at 1am, so I'd be happy to stay a bit after fireworks and get some more night rides in, but we'll see how it goes.
7/5 AK/Epcot. Tusker breakfast, Le Cellier dinner
7/6 DHS/MK Sci Fi lunch, LTT dinner
7/7 MK AM maybe, drive home because even though me the boys and I are off (teacher here), hubby will have to work Monday.
Excited to see the 4th fireworks in person. We watched them live streamed last year and decided then and there, since we would have APs, we would see them in person this year!
Thank you! Been a long day dealing with medical stuff bleh. MRI scheduled in about a month. He says he's going on vacation no matter what, so we'll see how it goes. I guess sitting at AKL is better than being on the couch at home
Today is our 60 day and FPs went well. I was able to get FOP and SDD. I think we got everything we wanted so that's a relief!
If you count our arrival day:Which days did you get them for? I'm trying to make my strategy!
If you count our arrival day:
SDD Day 4
FOP Day 3 and 8
For SDD, I really wanted day 2 but was able to get it on day 4 which is our rest day but we will head over and ride it if the kids want to (staying at BWI). They were completely gone for day 2.
FOP day 3 I ended up changing to Navi due to the late time but day 8 will be just fine. Day 3 available times started at 4pm. We are definitely out of there by 4 lol!
I actually went in later that night to tweak some times. Safari and EE had no more FPs but FOP had lots of times even in the morning. I did not expect that.
Also, ToT was difficult. There were zero FPs on our day 2. Had to get them day 4 or we will try at RD.
Hope that helps with your strategy and good luck!!
Thank you for the details! We plan to RD ToT after EMM. I hope it works.

We have got to cross paths one of these days! I think our March trips overlapped and we were both at Pop? Maybe July will be the one!We will be at the dessert party on 7/4, also! And Epcot on 7/5 evening and MK 7/7 AM.
I'm thinking we will make our first FP for 4pm on the 4th. I doubt we can make it there before then, as we'll be driving in that morning from Tallahassee. I'm also hoping for a 1am closing time.
So in Nov we did HS EMM and the plan was to do TOT (my favorite) at RD. We also ate the included EMM breakfast at the end so walked out of there about 2 minutes after RD. Decided to walk by Echo Lake quick to visit Santa Gertie; by the time we got to TOT at 9:13 the wait was 50 minutes! This was the week of Thanksgiving and since you're talking 4th of July my point is go directly there at RD lolThank you for the details! We plan to RD ToT after EMM. I hope it works.
