We are going the last week of April. I am so excited that I can't hardly stand it! I think I am more excited than anyone - even the kids!!
So what does everyone else do to pass the time? I have read every Disney book that I can and spend WAY too many hours on these forums!!
We also made the countdown chain. My kids love it and it is so much fun to see it getting shorter!
Listen to the various disney channels on live365.com. That will really get you pumped :goodvibes

If people sitting in traffic knew what I was listening to, they'd think I'm nuts!!It's just me and DF, sooon to be DH, going for our honeymoon! We'll be there April 27-May 4th, stay at the Beach Club!!! What about you??

This will be our first Disney trip & we just bought into DVC also! I am so excited I could burst!
The kids think we are going to my mom's again (we go about every Spring Break for the weekend) I have taken off work for the whole week they are out for us to go to WDW and they know nothing about it! I amnot sure if I am more excited we are going or more excited that I actually have a surprise from the kids that is staying a true surprise until we actually get there (close to being there, etc) They will have no idea until they realize we are still driving after 4 hours and going South instead of North!
I am working up until we go so very little time to bask in the excitement of the trip coming up. I feel almost as if i have no time to put everything together properly. The last 2 weeks is what will probably kill me in getting things together! LOL
Hope to see some of ya there!

That's awesome! We went there on our honeymoon and had the BEST time in the world! That was almost 17 years ago. We haven't been in 11 years - so it is TIME!
We are staying at AKL. It will be our kids first time. They are so excited!

April 27th - May 4th at CBR!! We haven't told the kids yet! I don't know how much longer I can keep it a secret!! We'll surprise them 1-2 weeks ahead of time. Just long enough for them to get excited about the trip - but close enough that they won't drive us crazy!
You going to be wearing a Lime Green Mickey Head tag??

We are going again(we went in December too!) the end of April and staying at the Yacht Club. It is looking like the resort is very busy that week!:eek: So much for it being a "quiet" resort! LOL! Looking forward to it nonetheless. I am debating whether or not to attempt my very first trip report. Would anyone actually want to read a trip report from a couple of unmarried,childless, 37 year olds who both hate having their picture taken?:sad2: I don't think so! :)

We'll be at CBR at the same time as you. We have a pirate room! My DD is turning 13 so we are going to celerate just the two of us, no boys allowed! I was actually planning on making it a family trip but DH and DS started complaining so we ditched them.

What a wonderful surprise for your kids!!! The drive is going to be hard for you!!! Waiting until the kids realize it's been too long driving! Maybe tell them you decided to try a new route to your mom's and it's taking longer than you thought??? Try to keep them fooled until they see the "Welcome to Walt Disney World" arches...it will be an amazing surprise. Hope your trip is all you dream of and more!!

The last time I was at WDW, it was 20 years ago. We stayed off site and my bf (now DH) came with us.
Now we're taking our kids for their first trip, and our first family vacation!
We bought them luggage and they are busy "practicing" packing :)

We are going in exactly 3 weeks. It will be the first time for our 2 1/2 year old son and my wife and I havent been in four long years. I am more excited than anyone, but he is starting to talk about the airplane and Disney World more. We are watching clips of the monorail on the computer and I am showing him the pool at the CBR. He is getting into it, keeps saying "wow".

Dh is being a downer now, b/c his work is very slow, but our trip has been planned for 5 yrs, and it's paid for, so I am refusing to let him be a jerk about it!:rotfl:
I'm already 1/2 packed....and picked up glowsticks and Disney cookies today! (going to surprise the girls with the cookies different days in the room!)
Whoops! Forgot to say we're staying at CBR- Pirate room!!

We'll be there 4/24-5/1. Cannot wait. Spend WAY too much time on the boards. I cannot imagine being able to hide it from the kids. I would be busting at the seams!
Still have to find house sitter (for dog and cat).
I keep wanting to extend our trip a day or two to make sure we get in enough rest time, but I just keep remembering last trip we were ready to come home after six days. Eight nights and nine days should be enough right? We're doing Universal the first two days (thanks to the inlaws). We'll only spend 1/2 day at AK and one full day at MK. The rest will be EP and DHS- our favorites! (I have all boys!)

We will be at SSR from 22-29th. Can't wait!!! I'm the only one who's been to WDW and that was only in HS with the choir. I'm SOOOO excited!

I just wanted to say I feel the title of this thread.. both good and bad.. Our dates are close so we're excited.. BUT since they changed EMH daily the weeks before and after Easter.. we are freaking out! :scared:
We had planned to go to MK on April 5, Sunday.. then found out that it had EMH both morning AND evening!! yikes! :scared1:
So now we switched our MK day to April 6, Monday.. Yes, still morning EMH, but atleast not the idea of both am and pm! Anyway, my dilemma is that we had all of our ADR scheduled and now I'm scrambling around trying to fit whatever we can get!!! The thing is we have NO hoppers, are there for a limited time, etc etc.. But I've been persistent and we've got some ressies scheduled.. thank heaven.. but still no Chef Mickey's.. will my son be able to go to Chef Mickey's without an ADR??? iyayay!! :confused3
Looking for Chef Mickey's on April 6?? Anyone have one they are thinking of canceling???

I guess I am now *officially* freaking OUT! I just realized today we are exactly 4 weeks from our trip. I had DD10 try on her summer clothes last weekend and NOTHING fit except for one pair of capries and 3 shirts:scared1: I have....added a few more reeses peanut butter cups to my rear end over the winter and I am not fitting into many clothes either. I have no idea when we are going to have time to go shopping before spring break. I am worried if I wait until spring break, the clothes will be picked over. ARGH!
Could someone please wave their magic wand my way and create a perfectly fitting wardrobe for me and my DD10 and have it appear in our closets...tomorrow?:wizard: Thank you:goodvibes
Lucky DD8 got all the hand-me-downs and DH buys clothes everytime he stops into Sams Club or Walmart or Target or wherever I send him on an errand for groceries :sad2: so he is all set. Sigh...the man is a clothes hog who can't pass a clearance bin....

We're leaving this Friday to celebrate DD's 16th birthday. Unfortunately her actual birthday isnt' until May but can't take time off from school that close to the end of the year so we're going during their spring break. Excited that we get to go but just a little worried about crowds that I've been hearing about. Hope it's not bad as we are trying to make the trip special for her.

I'm glad to read I'm not the only one spending HOURS on these boards, reading every little detail about other trips, dining reservations, and just waiting in anticipation for my time to come!!!
My mom and I are going down April 25-May 2, staying at POFQ with the 4/3 offer. We were there just this passed September but who can stay away from WDW for more than 6 months?!?!
I'm planning to do a Trip Report (my first ever) for this upcoming trip so keep an eye out!

We just got home and had a great time.
I questions myself thinking it was insane to stay at MK past midnight let only until 3 am when they closed but I recommend it, even if its for a little while.
The EMH were great and the wait for most if not all rides was only 5 minutes!
Our kids were well rested and didn't mind going to bed at 230. Plus getting to ride Splash Mtn at 130 in the morning is something they will never forget!
The only time you get to stay up that late is at Disney thats for sure!
Have fun everyone!

We were at MK EMH on April 5th till 3am. It was wonderful. Very short wait times for almost everything. The kids rode Splash Mountain twice in a row close to 3am. We did not get to bed till 4am but it was cloudy and rainy the next day so it all worked out. If you can handle the late hours. Late night emh at MK is very worthwhile!

Evening EMH is 3 hours after park closing - so that night the park closed at 12 midnight. I think that tends to happen in July around the 4th too.
