I would like to take my family (2 adults & 16 year girl) to Disney world in Florida in July, can anyone advise?

Looking to get the best deal that will allow my wife %26amp; daughter the freedome of all Disney attractions. Plan to stay 16 daysI would like to take my family (2 adults %26amp; 16 year girl) to Disney world in Florida in July, can anyone advise?
Disney in July... you are ambitious! It will be hot, humid and most likely rain daily. But, don't let that deter you. The rain usually only lasts an hour or so, but it is enough to make it muggy and cause wet feet. The lines will also be crazy in July because kids all over the world are out for summer break. So, make sure they get Fastpasses (free) when they are available.





When you purchase Base tickets to Disney you are purchasing admission to all of the Disney attractions within the 4 major parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. The more days you buy the cheaper per day the ticket becomes.





If you want to enjoy the waterparks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon) add the Waterparks and More option to your base ticket.





Consider booking an on-site resort, too. This will get them free transportation to the parks, free transportation to and from the airport, lets them into the parks early or stay late during the Extra Magic Hours and guarantees admission to the parks in the event they reach full capacity and close to day trippers.I would like to take my family (2 adults %26amp; 16 year girl) to Disney world in Florida in July, can anyone advise?
While it may appear to be a better deal staying off property, some things to consider while staying on property at a WDW Resort Hotel are having extra magic hours before and after regular park hours to enjoy lighter flow of traffic as well as having the ability to fast pass and avoid tedious lines while enjoying less congested attractions. Park Hopper Option is just the icing on the cake allowing you to travel freely from park to park throughout your stay as opposed to the one park per person per day base ticket. The time and hassle free convenience saved by staying on property yields a better experience and that dollar amount is simply immeasurable.
If you're going to stay that long, I'd be adventurous and move around. Stay a few days in the Magic Kingdom at the Polynesian. It's on the monorail and a ferry ride away from the park.


After that, move over to the Yacht and Beach Club to enjoy their amazing pool. An added bonus, you're within walking distance to EPCOT and a ferry ride away to Hollywood Studios.


Then go over to experience the wonders of Animal Kingdom Lodge. Stay in a room with a view of the Savannah, it's worth the extra bit.


Do the meal plan. Take advantage of free dining over the summer if possible. Don't forget little things like touring the other resorts, playing mini golf and enjoying the water parks. There's also Downtown Disney and so much more.


For such a long trip, you might want to talk to a Disney vacation planner. Everyone gave a lot of good advice -- Have a nice trip!
stay at a value resort...(i recommend pop century) and purchase the meal plan and tickets, hotel and air together, direct from disney or a travel agent...you will get free transportation to/from airport, to each disney park and hotel...extra hours at the parks..your luggaged delivered right to your room...you will be able to eat at any park or hotel inlcuded...reserve a table in advance...use 2 meals and eat at cinderellas castle or other normally more expensive and exclusive places..





If you go aug 16- oct 3 you can take advantage of the free dining plan offer..it will save you hundreds!
First go to the site for these tips:





STAY AT A DISNEY RESORT (a value resort if you wnat cheap, you can afford it)





You will get Extra Magic Hours if you do. Meaning, that if you stay at their resorts, one of the parks will be open early or stay late ONLY for resort guests and you have the park to yourself.





Get the free Dining Plan becaus eyou have a familya nd you're staying lots of nights.





Use their transportation as much as possible to get to the park quicker.





Along with the Magic Hours, if it gets crowdy mid-day, go back to your resort and sleep a while (I RECCOMEND THIS FOR EXTRA MAGIC HOURS DAYS)
i dont have enough time to answer fully





but my quick advice is


if you're going to be staying 16 days then there better be at least 4 or 5 days of just relaxation.





It's pretty uncommon for people to stay 16 days, you might have to hop hotel rooms.





And get the magic your way park hopper package.
You do no say where you need to travel from? Could it be Ireland, you can easily do your own hotel etc especially if you already have got your Aer Lingus tickets at the cheapest prices.





To help need more info ex Ireland did the trip last October so details still fresh.





Where ever you come from its Heat and Waits.
I like staying on the property because it avoids having to rent a car and pay for parking. Pop Culture is the newest of the least expensive hotels. This year I am also looking for a cheap option because I may have to go alone so I am using Hot Wire and I see great deals. Most of the hotels in the area shuttle you to the parks.
I have an extremely long answer but it would be easier if you would simply email me and I can help you out with this. No, no charge...I just love planning. I can show you how or just do it for you and give you the steps.





I just did this for a military family last night and they were ecstatic!
July is brutal. Pack lots of sunscreen and be prepared for HOT days.


If you are on a budget buy packs of water bottles from grocery stores and bring them with you to the parks.


You're gonna sweat! Have fun!
