Debi

Awesome! I haven't made any final hotel reservations yet, but I'm leaning towards the Dolphin (gotta love those SPG points!). Make sure to wear your lime green ribbon!




.... carry on ....

[luvindisneyworld]

We will be there from May 21-28 at BWV taking 2 of my DF that have never been to the World.So DH will be with 3or4 females for a week.He will either Love it or Hate it.

[KarenNY]

I've got 2 May trips planned. I'll be celebrating my 55th birthday at BWV May 9 during my early May trip (9-13). Then I'm heading back down May 24-28 for DVC Homecoming, staying at OKW.

[Margie J]

Just made my reservation for May 16th-24th.

[travelin' tigger]

Will arrive in Florida on the 6th and be at WDW from May 8th-11th. Can't wait to experience the Flower & Garden Festival!!! :sunny:

[Nink]

I will be there May 16 - 19. Two girl friends are going with me and we are staying at the Beach Club Villas.

Just a reminder for those that are going May 25 -27, there will be a DVC reunion going on during that time, so there will be a few more folks than usual!

:bounce:

[TLinden16]

I'll be there April 29-May 4, staying at the POFQ.

Karen

[MissSwish]

Roy (DH) and I will be there May 1 through the 7th.

The Flower and Garden Festival is beautiful. Can't wait to see some of it again.

[Kirk]

I'll be at the Dolphin and Boardwalk from May 26th thru June 5th.

I'm open to teaming up with others. Last year we met up with Poohs Pal and Company for a firework cruise.

[Eeyore1954]

May DW and I are going back May 11 - 18; staying at WL. Looking forward to catching the end of the Flower and Garden Show at Epcot and doing Dolphins in Depth again! :teeth:

[Superman]

My spousal unit and I will be at the Dolphin 5/6-10/04. Any tip about Fantasmic and the dinner special? How does one get the date countdowns and the past stays (are these typed for every post or is there a trick?)?

[JoenAdamnErinnSam]

I currently have 2 ressies book-one for May5-10th at POFQ-and one for May 22nd-26th-depends on whether DS2 can make the latter one when he finishes the quarter at college-if not its a first time solo trip for me on the earlier date-He's got 2 weeks to decide.

I ended up booking May 5-11 at POFQ-I am going alone,and I am so excited.I booked some PS this morning(SAT 17th) but would be more than willing to meet up with anyone willing for touring the parks or a meal-let me know

[Simba's Mom]

DH and I will be there 5/23-5/29, staying at OKW (maybe we'll run into you, KarenNY). Although it won't technically be a solo trip, it might as well be, since I'll be a "golf widow". DH is golfing every day, that is except the day he does Richard Petty.

[Muziqal]

Going back with my girlfriend, brother and his girlfreind May 6 to 24!! I think it's called 'A couple of couples' by Disney...?

CAN'T WAIT!!

[bobbiwoz]

May 1-3 want to see the Flowers!

Bobbi

[spiceycat]

I will be there twice

May 8 - May 15 at Marriott's Grande Vista Resort in a studio

then either
Rodeway Inn or LaQuinta for 5/25 to 28 for the DVC member meet. or maybe I might try priceline.

I pick these two hotels - because they are pet friendly - but if I get a great deal with priceline (unless I get a great deal I won't use priceline) - then Spicey can stay at FW.

this is going to be a busy year!

[Debi]

It looks like a DIS meet in late May might be in order! :) Who would be willing to attend a meet on May 24 or 25?

[Simba's Mom]

Sounds great! I think there's one already scheduled on the 25th, at Epcot. But is it primarily for DVCers? If so, I'd be up for another too-as long as it doesn't conlict with that one. Having met several DISers at WDW, I always say-DISers are some of the nicest people-it's always been a pleasure to meet them.

[SlightlyGoofy]

My dh and I will be at the AS Sports from May 16th thru the 27th. Going for the rock concerts at EPCOT mostly but will find lots of other old favorites and new things to see along the way. Meeting some DIS friends and relatives this trip also. Can't wait!!

Slightly Goofy/Linda

[spiceycat]

okay I chicken out and I am now staying at Pop Century for the DVC member meet - May 25 - 28.

[NJmouse]

any DIS'er is welcome to the meet on 5/25 at the Land (food court) at 3pm. There are some DIS'ers who are not DVC'ers coming. Check out the meet boards.

[1Venus]

DH & I will be there April 30 - May 8. We'll be at Pop Century the 1st 2 nights and then we'll move over to Ft. Wilderness. We're looking forward to all the Flower & Garden festivities. I just wish Herman's Hermits were playing again this year.

[JKanownik]

DH and I will be there from May 12-17. We are staying the the ASMu. Even through we wont be there on the exact dates of either, we will be celebrating DH's 25 birthday (May 10) and our 2 year wedding anniversary (May 25). We can't wait!

[KCritter]

We'll be there May 26th! Staying off site to save a few bucks this time.

[steveanddonna]

It's official - May 12-15 at Poly concierge. Can't wait!

JKanownik - anywhere outside central Florida is too far from Disneyworld for us!

[JKanownik]

anywhere outside central Florida is too far from Disneyworld for us!

steveanddonna,

LOL! I hear you! I wouldn't be surprised if we moved there someday!

[steveanddonna]

Love your area of the country (my brother lived in Bethany, WV for a long time, so there were a lot of car trips through Ohio), but yeah, it is too far from WDW. That's another advantage we have being childfree- we can pick up and move without worrying about school systems, school calendars, scouts, soccer...
We always said we'd retire to Florida, but after 13 years of Disney trips, we're investigating the possibility of living there 3 months a year starting in 2005. DH & I are both freelance production people, so we can work pretty much wherever there are corporate events/conventions/trade shows/film production etc., so it's worth a shot.

[spiceycat]

everyone have fun!!!

[bobbiwoz]

spiceycat, is the Marriott that you're visiting pet friendly for dogs too?

Bobbi:D

[julie.uk]

:bounce: I'm so excited, this is the first time DH & I will be in DW without our children.
We're there from May 13th to the 29th.
:hyper: ::MickeyMo ::MinnieMo

[SlightlyGoofy]

Julie, I have enjoyed each and every trip. with kids, with kids and grandkids and I well remember our first trip alone. All are special, just in different ways.

We will be May 16th thru the 27th. Hope to see you there!

Slightly Goofy (about all things English especially) Linda

[notakid]

I am going May 30-June 6...I am reuniting with a friend I met at WDW last August when I was there for the Drum Corps International Championships.We have a magical time planned and are looking foward to sharing our happiness with all of our (rainbow) brothers and sisters :wave:

[Mos20]

Hey, I'll be there May 24-27. Just a mini trip this time. I'll be going back in October for longer.

[Belle1962]

I'll be there May 15 - 19. Just a long weekend.

[spiceycat]

the Marriott is not pet friendly period - I had a reservation at the La Quinta - very pet friendly - but decided to go with Pop Century.

Spicey stays at FW kennel - they charge $9 on site, $11 off site - to board your pet - I don't mind taking him for walks and I feed him - so I know if he is eating or not - generally not a problem he has a good appetite while on vacation.

they stay open until 8:00pm and the security guards will let you in at any time - we generally only use them when we are leaving - but some people seem to use them alot.

the other kennels in the area and believe me I looked - generally charge more and they close at 5:00pm - he really likes his night walks - the morning, lunch and afternoon walks - are around 5 to 10 minutes - but the night walk - he does not want to go after an hour - but I get tired.....

here is a kennel list - WDW is in Lake Buena Vista (where all the WDW kennels are listed) - Kissimmiee and Orlando are both kind of close too

http://www.abka.org/

before the rest of you think I am nuts - Spicey will be 18 years old next month and he has been visiting WDW since he was 3 months old - he is very, very important to me.

I own at DVC - I will be back to WDW for many more years the contract quits in 2042 - but Spicey I will only have (if lucky) a few more years.....

I also own another timeshare that goes through II - so the Marriott for the entire week is only costing me $223 (w/taxes)

[DMickey28]

I am thinking about going on May 29th through to the 31st. Just a quick weekend for myself! :)

I would love to meet up! I don'tknow where I am staying yet. Right now I have a cast mebmer discount at Pop Century but I am thinking of trying to upgrade that!

Let's get together. I am a little questionable about going alone! :)

[steveanddonna]

spiceycat - we definitely don't think you're nuts! We almost ended up bringing our 15-yr-old diabetic cat to WDW last November when we couldn't find a reliable cat sitter who could do twice-daily injections. Fortunately we found someone terrific shortly before leaving, but we would have had no second thoughts about bringing DB and going over to the kennel twice a day for insulin injections, plus more just for petting & loving. We may be child-free, but we still have dependents!

[newchic99]

We will be there May 17-23. Staying at Pop Century. It has been 15 years since we were at Disney. Celebrating our 25th anniversary(a little late).
I can't wait. I talk about the trip to anyone that will listen.:D

[iluvwdw_2002]

DH and I will be there May 20-28 for our 2nd Anniversary and Graduation present!!! We are staying on the Disney property for the first time ever at POFQ!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Can't wait!!!

Congrats on your anniversary and graduation! We will be celebrating our 2nd this May as well. We wont be there on the actual date (May 25th) this year, because of school, but we are still excited! Be sure to check out the anniversary thread (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=547037&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) on the Theme Park board. There are many of us celebrating our anniversaries and we got some great tips from that thread!

[msh8675]

DD6 and I will be traveling to WDW on May 5th....and cruising Western Magic on the 8th.
I have been reading about how lonely I will be when my DD is off doing her own thing, but it seems I will always have some company. I have met a lot of people on this website and am looking forward to meeting more.
Your trip is what you make it I guess. I do not intend on being sad and lonely. There is plenty to do.


M-

[LouDisney]

I will be there May 15-23 with 3 of my best friends.
Staying off property this time.
