Re: Need some honest input quickly please!

The weather is extremely hot down here. But if you take your time and go to the parks in the morning and go to the pool during the hottest afternoon hours you should be fine. Take advantage of the air conditioning. Sit in some of the shows to cool off. Almost everyday we have afternoon showers here. Also make sure you get some of the spray water bottle fans. They make a big difference. I definitely think you should book it. Especially since you already have the AP's.

Re: Need some honest input quickly please!

Not one to EVER turn away a WDW trip . . . but July 4th is one of the ONLY days you will never see me there (again)!

Now, with that said . . . I did go last July (I live here) and I was shocked at the amount of people that go to WDW in the heat! You will see a crowd level difference!

It's all in the planning (as everyone said)!

This is how we did it:
We'd get up!
Go to the pool!
Back to the room between 1-2
Shower/nap
Then we head to the park for our ADR for dinner
By then, most folks were tired and heading home . . . and by the time we got finished with our dining, the sun had gone to bed.
It was still HOT, but without the blazing sun on your head PERFECT!
The parks are open late most nights so it worked out great for us!

Your in WDW what could really be bad??

That sounds like the plan I would go with, thank you. The only problem now is that they have no studio for June 30th or July 3rd available. I keep checking if anything opens up but it isn't looking too good

I will need to book this in a few hours so any feedback both pro: and con would be helpfull! I don't think we will be able to go before AP's expire in November. Thanks for the feedback!
well, i'll be there the end of next week and the weather forecast is for about 90 degrees during the day and 74 degress at night, not so bad....considering i've been there in the past in other months and had basically the same temps.

Couldn't you just change resorts in the middle? I know it's two non-consecutive nights, but I would reserve those two nights at one of the value resorts. That way, it doesn't matter how many points those nights are. I would take the chance that something is going to open up at DVC for at least one of those nights. Disney moves it all for you, so it would just be remembering which resort bus to get on at the end of the day!
