The Official May 2015 Thread!!

Just booked CBR for May 22-25th. We must be crazy to go during Memorial Day weekend. We typically go during February.
 
Is anyone who is going in May also from the Middle Tennessee area?

Just curious if anyone else lives in this area who will be there while I am there.
 
I think I remember you from the May 2013 Happy Dance don't I? I've got you added!

Yes, I went down to visit my Mom and go to Scrapbook Expo. We ended up spending more time at Disney, and wishing we'd skipped the Expo entirely.

This time it's all Disney! And I pushed it a little later so we can go to our first Star Wars Weekend.

Though right now I'm rather wishing I'd booked it sooner. Two months seems very far away. ;-)
 


I know May is suppose to be slower time but i know there is a cheer competition that will easily bring 40000+ people april 30-may4. That is over dates we were looking at. Anyone been to disney during a cheer event with the extra crowds? Does it has big effect on ride waits?

40,000+? I would assume you mean 4,000+. The best thing you can do is go the other way the groups are going. I would assume it would effect the times slightly, but not much. EasyWDW has those dates as 4-6 out of 10 (the 6 being Saturday the 2nd). You also have the Expedition Everest Challenge May 1st and 2nd.
 


No i mean 40000 :). 500 cheer teams with about 18-30 on each team plus their families plus believe dancers too. Didnt know about expedition everest challenge either.

Where are you seeing this info I see April 24-27 and May 1-3 so I am guessing most people will be gone by the 4th and I can not imagine it's 40000+, but even if it is I'm thinking they will spend most of their time at the competition.

I've been the last few years in May whilst the cheer competition has been on probably every year (not sure?) & it's barely noticeable. If I didn't know there was a competition I would never be able to tell from being there. They all mostly tend to stick to the competition in the sports complex, but you may notice it more if you stay at the value resorts where the competitors stay.
 
:tinker:Booked Thursday night for the first week of May!:tink:
Could've had this trip planned a half dozen times since January but was waiting on DH to decide. Sooooo darn excited! I'm a teacher and this year we've had a very rough group of students with behaviors and attitudes we haven't seen collectively in years. It will be an uphill battle this Spring with state testing and just how they get at the end of the year. This trip will be my motivation to keep going, especially on those long days!!!
 
I just made my fastpass # choices last night! eeeee! So excited! I was so worried I'd have to postpone my trip because I have to get my gallbladder removed and I didn't get to find out when the surgery date was until friday. It was almost booked for May! But the Dr changed it to April. Thank goodness!
So, I was wondering if people have must do's for their trips? I have to admit that I have never had a dolewhip!! I can't believe it's never happend. I am sooooo looking forward to having one. I love food and many of my must do's revolve around it. hahahaha! -Dolewhip, starring roles cupcake, BOG.... the list goes on.
 
Add us please!!! May 4 - 11 staying at AKL! Can hardly wait!!!! We've made our fast passes and have done online check in already!!! Now hoping our magic bands will show up when they are suppose too! They never came last year when we went and I called about 6 times about them too! They weren't even at the resort when we got there it was kind of disappointing to get the standard gray when we spent so much effort trying to get them! So hopefully they will come this year!!!

Just found out that i have to go to a work conference at the Swan and Dolphin 4/29-5/2. But already have a planned trip to go to Caribbean Beach Resort with family on 5/6-5/12. What should i do from 5/3-5/6, fly home on the 2nd and fly back on the 6th or stay down there on my own until the rest of the family comes on 5/6? Of course the easy answer is to stay, but that adds more expense.
I know, what a problem to whine about! but really stuck on what to do because i have to book flights asap. :o
 
Hi...I used to belong on the DIS boards years ago, joined back in 2004, but lost my sign in information, so I had to rejoin again. I wasn't a big poster even then, but my former name was HeartofDisney. Anyway, I usually come on the Dis before all my trips to Disney World. This will be my 7th trip. My last trip was in April 2013, and my next trip is this May 2nd - 9th. We will be staying at Pop Century. I am taking my almost 4 year old granddaughter, and it will be just her and I. She has been there at 8 months old, but only to Epcot for a day, and then my entire family went in 2013, when she was 22 months old. While she enjoyed the Disney magic then, I know it will be an entirely different experience for her in May, when she will be just a month shy of turning 4 years old. She knows practically every character now, and is in awe of all the princesses especially. This trip will be a little girls dream come true!

Just found out that i have to go to a work conference at the Swan and Dolphin 4/29-5/2. But already have a planned trip to go to Caribbean Beach Resort with family on 5/6-5/12. What should i do from 5/3-5/6, fly home on the 2nd and fly back on the 6th or stay down there on my own until the rest of the family comes on 5/6? Of course the easy answer is to stay, but that adds more expense.
I know, what a problem to whine about! but really stuck on what to do because i have to book flights asap. :o
Why not book at one of the Value resorts. There was some kind of spring deal being offered. You don't have to buy park tickets- checkout the other resorts, stroll the Boardwalk, and DTD. There is so much to do, and never enough time.
 
Am I the only one who suffers during this period before the trip? I got all hyped with ADR's and then with fastpast+. Now I have to wait until May for satisfaction. I believe I have hit every Disney related website, thirsty for any type of fix, but there is still a deep gnawing anxiety, feeling like May will never come. I am doing the impatient dance, instead of a true happy dance.
 
We switched to Pop. Anyone stayed here before and how did you like it?
We love Pop! The rooms are not large, but they suffice. The soap and hair products are out of this world! We need to restock again. It is nice to have a direct ride to the parks, rather than sharing with other resorts. You'll love it. Don't forget to decorate your window!

I was actually disappointed because we could only get in at *** (It feels wrong to write that somehow). Has anyone stayed there before? I heard the rooms are slightly larger than Pop, but I have not heard another word about it. Sports really aren't my thing, but I can buck up and have fun with it. How is the food court there?
