"UnOfficial" May 2013 planning thread. It's never to early to start planning!

You can give the pin code to your travel agent and have the agent apply the pin code for you instead of cancelling your reservation and re-booking.

That's what I thought, but the CM told me it had to be done through Disney Travel only.

Hey cool! We'll be there the same days as you in a 1 BDR Villa! My DD would go gaga over your baby boy! Hope to run into you at the pool!!!

Would be really cool to see you there !

I've been lurking the last few days. We have a trip booked for May 19-26. We are staying at POR. There are 5 of us. My dear hubby and we have 3 boys (ages 10, 7 and 5).

DH and I went 15 years ago on our honeymoon. We stayed off property. So this will be our first on property trip and first trip with kids.

We're going in May too (16th-24th)! I' a bit nervous about crowds as we were there in September and thought it was perfect. Looks like May will be a bit more hectic, but should be a lot of fun too! I'm so excited I want to start packing now!

Speaking of weather...how is the weather normally in May?

We have gone the past 2 mays and it has been HOT! Very little rain though, which was great. I don't have a specific link, but I have googled something along the lines of "historical weather may orlando" and found sites that had the highs/lows for specific date ranges.

I just booked POR RR May 4-11th. My first time at a Moderate and first time in May for the Flower and Garden festival

 

[cmoran81]

We will be in Disney from May 25th-May 28th (Just an extended weekend this time around) It will be me, DH, DS12 and DD4 and will be staying at Coronado Springs. This will be our second time at Disney and we are so excited!!! We were originally supposed to be there during Thanksgiving week, but we had to cancel that trip. We were breaking our heads as to when to go, as we still wanted to make it there this year and we finally settled on going for Memorial Day weekend. So EXCITED!!

I've already booked ressies at Liberty Tree Tavern for May 25th, as this was hubby's favorite place to eat last time we went and it's his birthday. I've also booked Mama Melrose's for May 26th, we also really liked it last year. Still looking for where to go on the 27th...probably Akershus.

Woohoo! Can't wait!!!
