We went with Sunshine Flyer for both this September trip & October using the special that runs through July. We used Mears on our January trip & didn't have any issues. The reviews for Sunshine Flyer seem to be much better.
How many in your party? It might be worth it to hire a private driver versus using one of the bus services.
did you get in to Moonlight Magic?
Me too! Where are you guys staying? We are at BWV. I was very anxious about registering, but it was no problem.
I'm going to use Tiffany again. I really liked them in January.
Availability and pricing are sometimes issues with Uber/Lyft. I was told by a friend who lives down there, depending on time, pricing can be ridiculous and there's less available drivers lately because gas prices are making it not worth it for them to do.
Yes, I'm very happy they didn't change EEH that week. We arrive around lunchtime and are doing Epcot on the 5th, so those 2 extra hours will be helpful for us (hopefully). I'm also glad they adjusted MK park hours to 10pm close on the 6th. How many rides can you fit in after fireworks in that amount of time? Not interested in the exit crowds.
We are staying at BWV and going to the September 28th MM too.
I hope your husband enjoys BWV. My husband and I took our first adult-only trip last July and stayed at BWV for the first time. We liked our stay so much that we chose it again for this trip over our favorite - BCV. Again, it is just the two of us (college-age kids) and we are so excited to attend our first MM party.
Just my dad and myself and he's actually arriving the day before me.
Yep!! My dad had to wait about 2 hours this morning he said but he was able to get them for us! I had to work and he's the DVC owner anyway, just not the best with technology... lol. He was like number 14k in line he said - so glad the August date didn't sell out before he got them. I'm thinking it is the lowest crowd time of any of the dates so that probably worked in our favor!
I have been checking availability a lot as summer crows roll in. Le cellier usually pops up for me with open times for 4 or 6 at 60 days. Labor days crowds are a wild card I guess but it doesn’t seem like the toughest to get spot these days.
I'm happy to see it isn't slim pickings when I look at ADR times and dates! It was horrible in Jan and meh in May. It can only get better, right?
Here’s hoping for all our sakes!
We’ll be at the POP the 3rd -the 10th! I’ve never met anyone from the boards but back in the day I used to pin the lime green Micky heads to our backpacks just in case! Lol.
If it makes you feel any better, my family used to always go the last week of July. It’s hot, and humid, but it is doable if you stay hydrated, take breaks, and use things like neck fans and cooling towels
