Can't wait... My fam has been to Disney several times but this time it's just me and my wife for our 5th.. we're both looking forward to it... Both in need of a vacation... Our 16 yo daughter is a little bummed she's not going, but is understanding that it's our anniversary...

Very excited to see the new AKV.. we have a savanah view so hopefully even better!!!!

With any luck we'll miss the memorial day crowds....

My DD(days away from 16) doesn't want to miss school for a whole week. My DH is staying home with her.

[momtwoboys]

We are booked May 1-8th! All Star Music requested bld #10. As of now I did NOT add on the DDP. We may just go without it this trip:scared: We were goin anyway, this promotion just shaved off some $$$. When will we be able to make ADR's ??:confused3 Anyone else booked at ASMU?

[wlwilliams9]

We'll be at Poly May 9-16 for our 7th anniversary! We go every year at this time and IMO, it's the best time to go! Weather is perfect and the crowds are low! See you there!

Oh! Has anyone started a Photopass share for May?

[jslbjc]

We're booked (dh and I, his parents and my parents). POFQ May 10-17th. It's our (dh and I) second anniversary. :lovestruc The trip is a delayed anniversary present for both sets of parents. In 2008, my parents celebrated 35 years

[minniemousepancake]

I'm going the exact same dates! May 17-24th at Wilderness Lodge with my boyfriend! So excited! 186 more days! :woohoo:

[Poohs#1fan]

I just changed our trip from October to May 1-10 at the Poly, so we could get in on the 4/3 deal. It is mine and my DD's first trip. We are going with my DH, DM, DM-in-law and my DH's aunt. I'm so excited. I booked a CM dinner for the night we arrive and a CM breakfast for the day we leave. I also booked a CRT dinner because my DD is fascinate with the fairy godmother. I wish they would put out the May hours, so I could finish my schedule. I've been spending time on the Creative Disigns boards. I might try to get creative.

[LuvsEpcot]

My mom and I :hyper2: will be there May 9th through 15th! We are both so excited :banana: I just booked our trip tonight with a surprise pin code :surfweb: opened my email and there it was in all it's pin code glory :worship: I plan to book the Mother's Day Brunch in Epcot and I have to wait until March to do that according to the fun CM :upsidedow that worked with me tonight.

[athenna]

Wife and I are going to AKV (Kidani Village!! WooHooo!) from May 17th - 22nd..



I'm booked the same dates as you are!:goodvibes
It was originially going to be a solo trip....But my father who will be almost 70 hasn't gone to WDW in years, and he put on the puppy dog eyes:rotfl: so now I am bringing dad....Staying in a studio (wish it was a 1 bedroom, now that it wont be solo:headache: ) Savanna view in Kidani:goodvibes Can't wait to see it!:banana:

[akayek31]

[pixistix]

DH and I are also going May 22-29, staying at the Beach Club for the first time!:woohoo: Our 5th anniversary is our arrival day and with the change in reservations for dining, I hope I can still get the California Grill during Wishes fireworks for our anniversary!:love:

[Aubie881]

Booked CBR for April 28 - May 5. cannot wait.

[hollyluvsdisney]

We'll be there May 16-23 at BC! I'm so excited! :banana:

Seems like there are quite a few of us going during that time frame and several of us staying at BC/BCV! :goodvibes

[CallMeCrazy]

We are going to be at the Poly from May 09-16! :woohoo:

Anybody else getting excited about the flower and garden festival? Anybody:flower3: been??

[Angela0917]

Where the heck are May's hours?!?!?!!?!?!?!:confused3

[LSchrow]

may 2 thru 10
24yo DD & myself (mom:) ).
we've BWVs booked 5/3-10 (BW view studio:cloud9: ); not sure where we're staying the first night, considering CSR or CR b/c those are the only mod/deluxes we've never stayed at (never tried a value) :confused3

ooooooooh, it's killing me to wait 5 months between trips tho (going 10/09 for F&WF with DH)

[eag119]

Hi all. I am new to the DIS. Note my lack of siggy and avatar. ;)

We are going on our first trip Disney May 6th- 12th staying at CSR! I am so excited.

[fsdriver]

We are going May 2-9 staying at ASMo :) me, dh and ds who will be 5. I am so excited, and yes where are the May hours at:confused3

[Poohs#1fan]

I know there are a lot of people on here going at the beginning of May, so just wanted to post what I read. I just read on the Mom's panel and on Mousesavers that on December 1st they are opening the ADRs up till
May 10th. :cool1: :cool1: I believe it said that it included those arriving on May 10th could make up to 10 days, but I'm not positive. Hope the May hours come out soon, so I can finish my schedule!!! :rolleyes1 HTH

[michelleiada]

We are going May 15-24th and staying at Beach Club Villas! Can't wait. Did you book your airfare yet? I am still waiting for Southwest and Jet Blue to release May dates.

[Poohs#1fan]

I haven't booked my airfare, yet. They have released prices for my trip down, but I'm just watching it. It has held steady at the price they released it at, so I'll keep watching. Their current sale is thru 2/28, so hopefully they will have one for May in the not too distant future. I know somewhere it said Dec 6th or 9th the next set of dates would be released, but now I can't find it. Are you going to book as soon as it opens?

[michelleiada]

Are you going to book as soon as it opens?

Yes...I'm hoping that the fare is reasonable. We went last year, Manchester, NH to Orlando (nonstop) and paid $64 each way. It is doubtful that we will ever see those fares again. I would love to get $89 each way if possible!:banana:

[Poohs#1fan]

They have been running decent sales that is why I'm trying to hold out. Our flight from Philly to MCO nonstop is at $139 for the trip down. Good luck!!

Thank you! Good luck to you also! I just noticed that this is your first trip to the world! You are in for a treat! I hope you have a magical vacation!:wizard:

Thanks!! I am sooooo excited! My little girl is obsessed with Mickey now too, so she should be fun! I just wish the May calendar would come out because rumor has it that I have to make my ADRs on Monday :confused3
Thanks again! Let us know what happens with the airfare.

[PyxiiDustt]

I've [finally] got the dates!! We'll be at the Polynesian from May 17-22. Yay!!

[chinarider]

We'll be at the POP 5/21-6/4!!!!

I just noticed that I finally "earned my ears"

[tinkjess3]

My dh and I will be at POR from May 1-8. We moved our trip up from October and can not wait!! :goodvibes

[liftn]

Just booked airline tickets for May 7 - 18th. Now just deciding where to stay, either CBR or AKL!:cool1:

Do you mind me asking how much your tickets were? I'm going from Philly May 1-10 and I haven't booked yet. I just keep watching. Thanks

We actually had $100 voucher from our last years trip, mechanical problem with plane. So I paid $128 with the voucher, so it was $228.

I don't know how out of the way it is for you, but since you're considering Philly, you could also check out flying out of Atlantic City, because they've always got pretty cheap prices also. Just for a suggestion!

[summersalt]

Hello everyone, I just booked for May 23 - 30th. My DH and I will be celebrating our 20th anniversary at the Poly. :love: This will be our first visit to the Poly but our 8th trip to WDW. I hope I can join in with your discussions? Has anyone made their ADRs yet?

[liftn]

I don't know how out of the way it is for you, but since you're considering Philly, you could also check out flying out of Atlantic City, because they've always got pretty cheap prices also. Just for a suggestion!

Actually my parents are joining us on this trip, and they are flying out of AC. The prices were not that much different. The was one cheaper flight $150 round trip, but it left on a Tues and came back Mon. 6 only nights.

[Poohs#1fan]

We actually had $100 voucher from our last years trip, mechanical problem with plane. So I paid $128 with the voucher, so it was $228.

What airline? Thanks! I'm holding out a little longer. SW sale ends tomorrow, so I'm hoping the next one will include my trip.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked into them, but the prices weren't that much different. Since I will have my almost 2 year old DD with me I'm willing to pay a couple extra dollars for the convenience.

:welcome: Congrats on 20 years. I hope we can make it that long. Despite all of the rumors at the beginning of the week, we all can only make ADRs for Chef Mickey, CRT or V&A at 180 days out. We are all just waiting for an announcement about the system upgrade. HTH

[liftn]

We are flying Continental. So I booked CBR, and they only had standard view left. Over the last 10 years we have stayed AKL 2x, GF 3x and Poly 3x. I am a little worried the I will be disappointed with the resort. I have seen mixed reviews and am hoping for something to make me feel a little more comfortable with our choice.

[Poohs#1fan]

I am feeling very frustrated today. I know we are all waiting patiently (ha) for the May hours, but I've had a draft of a schedule for a while now. Wanted to make sure I knew what ADRs I wanted, in case they ever open. Today I go on UG and they changed some of the crowd numbers, but all of the best parks. I have so much holiday stuff to do and now I have to redo the schedule just in case ADRs do open on the 22nd.
Thanks for letting me vent.

What do you mean by"UG"? thx

Unofficial Guide - it's one of the guidebooks for Disney and they have a website (touringplans.com) that gives your a crowd level for each day from 1-10 and tells you the best and worst parks for each day.

Just pulled up the website and it costs to subscribe. Not a whole bunch of money but, does it provide info that is not easily available elsewhere?

[Poohs#1fan]

If you have one of their books, then it is free. You can also access, I believe it is the next month for free. From what I understand it is similar to Tour Guide Mike, but I've never been on his site. Those are the only places that I am familiar with that tell you which park should be best on which day. HTH

[NMW]

We are also going from 05/16-05/23. We are staying at the Poly. Usually, my DH wants to stay at the EPCOT resorts. However, this trip I convinced him to try the Poly and he agreed. My DH is afraid of change and is afraid the experience at the Poly will be different than the magical times we have had in the past. Last May I had the POLY booked and he convinced me to change it to the BC. Since talking it over with him he is extremely excited to try the Poly.

[rentayenta]

Another one for May here! :wave: We'll be spendinh 5 nights at OKW GV, 3 nights at AKV 2 bedroom, and spending the last 2 nights at the Pop Century! :woohoo:

[DisneySherpa]

Count us in :woohoo:

We'll be at CBR, pirate: room, from May 2nd to May 9th... celebrating my big guy's 26th birthday on the 5th :love2:

We booked the DDP but have yet to make a single ADR... holding out to see what the park hours and EMH schedule will look like.

Let the countdown begin...

[Poohbug]

Hey all.:yay: We are going May 2-10 with my Sis and her family. We are all staying at CBR and I can't wait to show the boys the new pool.

I'm not stressing about the hours or ADRs. We will get the QS DP and are flexible with our park days. We do need to fit in a day or two at US tho.

I cannot wait for the flower & garden festival, I am sick of winter already.

[aspen37]

I will be going on my first SOLO trip in May.

May 9th Dolphin for one night.
May 10th-14th Disney Wonder. This is the 4 day DIS Unplugged Podcast Cruise.:cool1:
May 14th-21st at Port Orleans Riverside.

Can't wait for my first Solo trip.

[DisneySherpa]

Asking Santa for May hours... I think I've been pretty good this year... only went to Disney once :rolleyes1

I heard there's a good chance that Space Mountain will go down for refurb shortly after Easter... so it looks like this may affect us May travelers :guilty:

If you've been keeping up on some other threads you may have read about how Space wasn't even placed on the MK map or mentioned in the 09 planning DVD. There was a solid rumor going on (before the release of the DVD and maps) that the ride would close for a significant part of 2009 for a full rehab.

There's talk now on whether or not the ride will in fact go down this year due to the lack luster year 2009 is turning out to be for Disney... so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[amblackmon]

Hello! We are going to be at the AKL on May 14 - 24th of 2009. We are so excited and I can't wait to make our ADR's. Anyone have any ideas on when we can do that?

[smilie]

We're just going to the Magic Kingdom, on May 4th. It'll be the little munchkins first trip. We're very excited!!

[englishrose47]

Add meto the list !Going solo May 16th thru 24th at Pop!!

[SIMMSMOUSE]

I am booked May 21-28 at POP and CBR because I can't decide which one to stay at. This is our third trip as a family. DH,DS6 and DD9. I am a Disney fanatic. I didn't go as a child so I am making up for it now. After Christmas dinner we were looking at old family photos and I have Mickey ears on in a bunch of them. I have always loved Mickey and that proves it. Photgraphic evidence. My DH laughes at me.:banana:

To acces it with having the bookit asks words from certain pages of the book and then you get all the info!!So if you get the book you can find all the dates !!

[michelleiada]

Only 139 more days until our 9 night vacation at the Beach Club Villas, two bedroom. I can't wait. May 15th-24th. Now that Christmas is over...I can focus on planning my trip. :woohoo:

[joeytdog]

Hello Eveyone.

Decided to join up on this forum.

We will be traveling May 18th to the BWV (one bedroom) for 8 nights.

Me, DD 3, DS 4, and DW 28

[donaldndaisy]

We're arriving at ASMovies from May 2-4, then checking in at the Poly from May 4-11 and spending our last week at the GF from May 11-18.

We are looking forward to this vacation, so much. My family really deserves this time away :cloud9:

[michelleiada]

May 15th-24th. Two bedroom villa at Beach Club. I can't wait. I have never stayed at the Beach Club before. The last time we stayed at the Swan and I fell in love with that whole location. It is, IMO, the best location in all of Disney. I can't wait...I can't wait....I can't wait!!! :jumping1:

[DisneySherpa]

Hello! We are going to be at the AKL on May 14 - 24th of 2009. We are so excited and I can't wait to make our ADR's. Anyone have any ideas on when we can do that?

The ADR reservation system has now been cut from 180 days to 90 days (this is the same for tours and recreation as well; but La Nouba remains at 180 days)

Looks like we won't be making any ADRs for another month :rolleyes1

[loralie]

My family and I are so excited to be going to WDW in May. We will be staying at the GF May 15th to May 22nd. It will be our first time staying at the GF and we can't wait. It will be Me, DH and our 2 boys (13 and 11). We will be on the DDP and I can't wait to get the park hours for May so I can plan out my ADRs. I think I am driving everyone in my family crazy with all the Disney talk. :rotfl:

[ratatouille1]

I'll be going in may with my fiancee. Staying at CSR!

[Mom2Dash&JackJack]

We are traveling with the in laws :grouphug: May 2-9th at Wilderness Lodge. First time they will have bunk beds - they are more excited about that than anything!

Cannot wait to begin making plans when the hours are released.

I was just wondering if you guys/gals have bought your airfare yet? I have been watching SW since it came out and the prices haven't gone up, but I'd like for them to go down. The current sale runs through April 30th, so I'm hoping soon they'll run one for May:wizard: Just wondering what everyone else was doing:confused:

We purchased our airfare through Southwest. Manchester to Orlando, nonstop. We paid $134 each way, not awful, but not great. I would welcome a spring sale. When we went to WDW in 2007 we paid $64 each way. I was hoping we would get the same. I check the SW website frequently, hoping that a sale may be announced.

[DisneyMagic06]

I would like to join in... we are going May 2-9 staying at POP, if tax return is more then expected we will be staying at the Poly.

I can not wait.

[loonytoony]

May is great. Hours should be posted soon once they get the new website squared away

[msce2]

We are going in May as well. May 17-22nd at BCV. It has been 6 years since I've been and I was pregnant in 2003 when we went last. So I'm really looking forward to Tower of Terror, Rockin Roller Coaster and others that I've never been on. Well and I'm also looking forward to seeing my kids have TONS of fun.

Hoping they post the hours soon so I can put a schedule together. I've already started our "packing list" and timetable. I'm going to be driving my husband crazy. He actually just suggested we go now instead so he doesn't have to spend the next 4 months listening to me. (I was asking if we should be taking the double or single stroller)

Anyone driven recently with kids and have any suggestions? We are driving from Philly to Orlando. Taking 2 days - driving around 8 hours each day. Kids are 9, 5 and 2 1/2. Thanks!

[mh1973]

DH, Myself, ds 11, dd 9 and our friends and their two kids are going May 15-25 staying at Fort Wilderness!! Really excited to start planning.

[Tinkerbellandfamily]

I'll be back May 10th to the 14th. I can't wait!!! I'll be at the Fort Wilderness Campground. It won't be here soon enough.

We'll be at AKL 4/30-5/7 with DDP. Have my dining choices planned and will call on the 30th to make ADRs. Used UG's crowd calendar to assist with the planning and we'll go to Discovery Cove and Universal on the two days they have predicted the highest crowds.

We purchased our airfare through Airtran ($530 for the three of us-myself, husband and 6 year-old son.) Thought that was very reasonable. Have a ressie with National Car Rental for 8 days ($291) but will keep an eye on rental prices as our trip approaches to see if they release any promo codes.

Here's to 2009 and less than 4 months till we return to WDW!

[Poohs#1fan]

Anyone else care to share their airfare situation??

[msce2]

Anyone else care to share their airfare situation??

Southwest was $1496 for the 5 of us out of Philly. Delta was cheapest, at $870 (flight times were less than ideal as well ie a layover of 3 hours in Atlanta) but then we would have to pay $15 for the 1st bag and $25 for the second. Either way we will be driving as it is less than half of the cost. My Mom got flights out of BWI on Airtran for around $560 for 2 people. We are also traveling on Memorial day weekend.

[athenna]

I found $506 for 2 people from BOS-MCO on JetBlue, but I may have to cancel my trip so I haven't purchased airfare yet:sad1:

We check in May 9th at the All Star Music (had to get a family suite). This will be my mom's first time to Disney World. (She is 63) :banana:

[msce2]

I've been watching flights out of SW, too, from Philly. The sale they have going on now is flights through April 30th. I'm hoping the next sale will include May :wizard:

Here's some Disney magic for a really good sale!!!

pixiedust:

Wouldn't we just love to be in FLA today??? I can't wait for the warmer weather.

[longing2Batdisney]

I booked today:banana: !!! May 22 -29 -- hope the crowds aren't too bad we had to wait for DS to get out of school.
Finally after planning for three years we are finally going back.:rotfl:
I booked the 4/3free deal at the Music (never stayed there before). We are also bring my DD's bf and he is a retired marine so we were so excited to find out we could save money on their tickets. That means more money for dining!!
Now, I can obsess (more than ever now) on planning our trip. Can't decide what character breakfast to attend. We did the Crystal Palace way back in '96, thinking about Mickey @ the Contempary, or Donald's safari at the Tusker house. Our crew will be myself, DH, DD 21, DDBF 22, DS 16, & DS 2. :dance3:

pixiedust:

Check today. When I checked this morning, I was able to get 3 tickets to MCO for $99......better than the $139 it was. Of course I need 6, so I'm still hoping for that sale. The flights home didn't seem to change........yet.

Here's hoping for that sale :wizard:

Update, The next morning I was able to get the other 3 tickets I needed for $99 as well. They must be releasing some each morning. Now we're going to Disney, we're just not coming home......yet.

[sam&chris]

We just booked our trip today for May 17-22 at POR!! It will be both DFi and my first trip to WDW. I've been spending all day looking for insider tips on how to make the most of our honeymoon. SO glad I convinced DFi that my pick was better than his for the honeymoon!

[Punkie6]

My boyfriend and I will be there from the 18-24th at the POP to celebrate my college graduation and our 4th anniversary. I've been saving 4 years since my last trip and he's new to disney. I've been driving him nuts with my usual early overplanning. It will be a miracle if he's not "disneyed out" by the time the plane takes off :lmao: .

[kgle]

Anyone else care to share their airfare situation??


From IND to MCO the cheapest I have found for 2 people is $318, not including checked baggage. That is NWA. Southwest is $398 RT with no bag fees and the best times I could find.

[DWFan4Life]

Wife and I are going to AKV (Kidani Village!! WooHooo!) from May 17th - 22nd..

Can't wait... My fam has been to Disney several times but this time it's just me and my wife for our 5th.. we're both looking forward to it... Both in need of a vacation... Our 16 yo daughter is a little bummed she's not going, but is understanding that it's our anniversary...

Very excited to see the new AKV.. we have a savanah view so hopefully even better!!!!

With any luck we'll miss the memorial day crowds....


This would be great for both of you. This anniversary of yours, will be extra special. :love: Enjoy your trip. Advance happy anniversary. :)

Have a safe trip. :)

[DISNEYNV]

See you at AKL in May! Have a great trip everyone!:sad2: :cheer2:

[MentalVacation]

We'll be at Poly May 9-16 for our 7th anniversary! We go every year at this time and IMO, it's the best time to go! Weather is perfect and the crowds are low! See you there!

Oh! Has anyone started a Photopass share for May?

I'd love to hear more about the photopass share...how does it work?

Also, we are going to be there the exact same dates. (And we're bringing our 2yo and celebrating our anniversary as well. :rotfl: It isn't quite 7 years yet, but we're working on it.....this is year 4 of actual married life....whew! Planning an ADR at California Grill for just the adults that night....)

We are doing CRT for breakfast on Mother's Day. VERY happy I snuck that ADR in already...I am a bundle of nerves about getting the ADRs I want. :lmao: ( a little OCD here)

So where is everyone *hoping* to get ADRs.....

[cheerful chickadee]

We're going may 3 - 13th and I can't wait. We're actually going to be celebrating our anniversary, mother's day and it will be DD's first trip. So excited!

Our airfare was $72 per person each way through airtran, total for 3 seats was $532 and that includes paying extra to choose our seats.

[Poohs#1fan]

I'd love to hear more about the photopass share...how does it work?

I don't know all the detials, but I know it's when a couple of people chip in for the cost of the CD. I know you can find some on the Budget board.

I am hoping to get ADR's at Akershus, 1900 Park Fare, Cape May Cafe, H&V, Le Cellier, 50's Prime Time and a few more but I don't have my list right here. We have a group going, so not everyone will go to all of them. I already have Chef Mickey's and CRT.

I am excited that I was able to get my return flights tonight. SW opened their sale to more dates. They were still more than I would have liked, but better than regular price. I paid $240/rt.

109 days to go!!!!:banana: :banana:

[akayek31]

We are going May 22-29 and staying at Pop. I want to eat at Le Cellier, LTT, Sci Fi, and Crystal Palace. So far I have an ADR at Chef Mickey's. It will be my 37th birthday :sad1: :scared1:

[Justsyd2]

We (me and DH) are going to be at POP from May 31 - June 6th. We bought our airfare through Disney on Airtran for $400.00 round-trip for two people, including transfers both ways with ME. We are on the DxDP. We have ressies for CRT at 8:10 on June 5, and CM at 8:30 on May 31. I'm waiting for the park hours to finish my schedule.

[MentalVacation]

I'm hoping to do Boma, Crystal Palace, Tusker House, Teppan Edo, Cali Grill (for our anniversary), Captn Jacks, Donald's Breakfast Safari, 50s Primetime, 1900 Park Fare, Narcoosees, Ohana, Cape May...

(ok, ok,....to be fair...a lot of these are 'either/ors' that I've picked and charted on a spreadsheet and I will hope for the best when I can start filling in the ADRS)

(Already have the CRT and CM of course)....We are doing DxDDP and I am thinking we'll aim for as many character meals as we can handle. :rotfl:

[El&kris'mom]

We are going on May 17th - 24th staying at ASMu Family Suites. I am so excited to be staying onsite this time. We have never stayed onsite before so it is going to be a whole new experience.
We have booked the dining plan and already have our flight booked (it was cheaper to book through Disney than what we found online).
I am so looking forward to planning our whole trip and can't wait to have the May dates posted.

[alan_renfroe]

Our family will be making our 2nd trip to WDW May 15-22, 2009! We are getting excited! As of right now we are staying at the Pop Century, but I am seriously wanting to upgrade to CSR. WE stayed at CSR this past May and LOVED it!

I just read somewhere that if you are doing the 4/3 deal that the difference between a value and a moderate is only like $300. If you loved it that much, you should go for it.....if you can afford it of course.

[amblackmon]

Ok everyone, my brain must be frozen from all of this cold weather. Could someone remind me of what CRT is. I can't seem to remember and it is driving me nuts:confused3 ...kind of like trying to remember all seven dwarves.

Thanks!

[jslbjc]

Staying at POFQ from May 10-17th. Hoping and waiting for good airfare. I'm looking for 3 different airports (omaha, boise and portland OR) which is starting to get confusing.

[chinchiller]

From IND to MCO the cheapest I have found for 2 people is $318, not including checked baggage. That is NWA. Southwest is $398 RT with no bag fees and the best times I could find.

When are you leaving? We're leaving the 17th and getting back the 23rd for our honeymoon. We were able to get round-trip, AirTran, nonstop, from IND to MCO for the two us for just over $200, plus no baggage fee (but we did get the tickets before the cutoff when they started charging).

[chinchiller]

I just read somewhere that if you are doing the 4/3 deal that the difference between a value and a moderate is only like $300. If you loved it that much, you should go for it.....if you can afford it of course.

Yep, that's about right. We were booked at ASMu, but FH surprised me on New Year's with an upgrade to POR. He said it was only about $300 more, which was only about $100 more after our price adjustment (we booked a couple of weeks before the deal came out and Disney was happy to honor it anyway).

[englishrose47]

I am so excitede.....BUT, here's my question.

Do I tell my 6 year old? She asks almost every day when we are going back...we went Pres. week last year. I tell we will Definitely goin back...but I am vague about when, she thinks after school is out.

So, should I make it a complete surprise, send her to school on the 1st and pick her up early and go directly to airport? Or tell her ahead of time? If I tell her now, she will drive me crazy with it.....maybe a week or two in advance? Last year, she kept packing, and packing, and packing....I could never find anything because she had packed it away in a backpack or beachbag or whatever......2 months beforehand.:lovestruc

May 11-16 here! Staying at Port Orleans Riverside for the first time.

This will be my eighth trip in seven years, but the first for my brother since we were kids. It's just the two of us while he's home on leave from the Army. We were able to take advantage of the Military discount and ticket offer, and I can't get over how cheaply the two of us are going!!

Never stayed at POR...DH and I are always at a deluxe resort, but DB wanted to keep the trip as cheap as possible. We had originally booked POP, but I put my foot down and upgraded us today. :banana:

Happy planning, everyone!

[TinkerBelle_325]

78 days until my "last minute" May Trip! :cheer2: :yay: :worship:

Hehe...last minute meaning booked literally a few days before my 90 day mark. Though I'm incredibly frustrated with the new ADR system I must admit its nice to be able to book a trip 3 months out and still get fantastic restaurants....even if you do have to stay on hold 3 1/2 hours to get them....:rolleyes:

I Hope the OP doesn't mind. I'm just trying to help as many DIS'ers as I can. :)

I manage several stroller swaps over on the budget board. I thought I would extend an invitation to you to join the swap. A stroller swap is a group of DISers who will be staying at WDW and would like to use a stroller without paying $31/day for a WDW stroller. A stroller is purchased and passed from one vacationing DISer to the next on the list.

Can't wait until May 23.....staying at Poly for the first time. Our DD 11 has no idea that we are staying at Poly, she still thinks we are staying at SOG. I'm about to burst and I still have lots of time before we board the ME express bus.

HELP!!:banana:

[Poohs#1fan]

OMG! Did you guys see that the UG changed their crowd calendar predictions? We are going the first week of May and now every day is an 8 and I think there is even a 9.:sad2::sad2: I'm so bummed! I picked this week, so we could go before it got too crowded. It looks like they've made everything from then till August at least an 8, so they've gotta be wrong a few times right?:confused3:confused3

[wrconrad]

May 17-24 @ GF.
Keeping it a surprise from DS11, DS10, DD4. It almost slipped today when we saw Space Mountain on TV. I said that will be closed while ---- um, while they fix some things :)

We told DD4 we will go to Disney when she is 7, but we will take a small vacation in May, just not to Disney.

Can't wait to head back to the "world" May 24-31 for our 5th anniversary trip and celebration of the end of a stressful school semester! Already have ADRs done (after waiting those 3 1/2 hrs on hold...) and will be staying at CBR - just in time for the post-Memorial Day crowds! Yippee! Will be our first time staying in an on-property resort- all other times have been off site or in the CP apartments! (Test Track, Spring 2004- "17-18" to any fellow TT CM's!)Absolutely can't wait to finish this semester of school so I can officially psych myself up for the trip! Anyone know if there are any cheerleading/sports camps or competitions scheduled for that time frame that I need to be warned about?

[Poohs#1fan]
