So who's going to be there in July?

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I know opinions are valid but when you put it in CAPSLOCK like it's annoying we get that it's expensive. Getting tiresome. There are constructive criticisms and opinions and there are negative for the sake of being miserable.

Ok...I don’t like the capslock thing either.

But I i might make a suggestion: perhaps the reason the pricing/crowds/value is so repeated is because they are big issues?

You can’t blame people for being people. Well...you can. I guess...but probably not as productive as ignore.

Musta been a wild week and a half.

You’re profile says you’re from Orlando...that’s why I was confused

What the heck?? I never did that. I had SC! Weird. Thanks!

It happens...

I’m relieved...a lot of your posts seemed strange for a “local”...but not at all if you’re not one.

My strategy:

1. Wait till all the theme park YouTubers go document their reopening experiences during the first week.
2. Watch a couple of them and see their reactions and their opinions too.
3. If it's a green light for me, I'll start making reservations. If it's a red light, I'll still make reservations just cause I'm like that.

Probably a very good way of judging it, they have their use for those who choose to watch them.

Our fastpasses for July 15-21 disappeared today. We are staying at OKW and have APs.

Have they confirmed there will be fastpasses? I thought I saw they were going to a more encompassing system for crowd control?

 

[Tomi-Rocket]

You couldn’t PAY me to go in July for one reason the heat but now there’s an added reason - masks. I’m not opposed to masks but the combo of sweltering heat AND masks? NO THANK YOU.

I have not seen confirmation one way or the other. The fact that ours are gone leads me to believe there will be a different system.

You're in a Disney centric forum. Prices have always been expensive so that "too expensive" is so last season. So are you just living vicariously through other posters' experiences?

It's the fallback criticism that all posters have in their back pocket. Well....well....it's too expensive! So there.

“Fall back” implies ulterior motives.

I’m sure that’s true for a lot. Not all.


For instance: I’ve implored people to make intelligent choices in what they buy from Disney for 10+ years or the margin squeezing will increase and the value will fall.

That of course has fallen on deaf ears and it’s worked out exactly that way...but whatever

However I never suggest boycotts or say I’ll not go back...thats silly. No need to live vicariously through anyone. Wouldn’t bother being on what is in essence a travel forum if that was the case.

Nobody’s asking who isn’t going.

I currently have a reservation at Boardwalk July 6 thru July 9. I am waiting for Disney to move me back a week or two. Today they blocked my FP's with a red banner saying -  We cannot display your FastPass+ details right now. You can still add or modify other plans.- Im a local, I'll wait for them to contact me.

I’m curious to see if they move you back?

Is it a dvc reservation?

 

[Texas84]

I would consider July if they had some kind of Passholder event.

 

[Jimdalva]

not DVC.

 

[Horizons '83]

No thanks. Watered down Disney at peak Disney prices all while wearing a mask in 95 degree heat. I prefer not to be the guiena pig, but I will be closely watching how this goes.

Isn't that resort going to be open from June 22? I don't know if it is for DVC-bookings only. If not, they would have no reason to contact you unless you booked tickets and dining in the parks too. Or am I missing something?

 

[Seanual757]

Yes 7/3-6 @ OKW (DVC)

Is there a full moon? What’s with the “call outs” this week?

No, but the polar ice caps are melting affecting some bird species more than others.

Let's see:

Masks
No resort pools
No parades
No fireworks
Masks
No stage shows
Tape and plastic 'glass' everywhere
Oh and wearing masks all day! FUN
Limited hours
Limited parks
No water parks in July
Same basic pricing.....COOL!


Sounds like a real hoot for some foolish mortals. Enjoy!
