Right now the plan is.

20th (W)-Magic Kingdom
21st (Th)-Magic Kingdom
22nd (F)-Epcot
23rd (Sa)-Rest day
24th (S)-Animal Kingdom
25th (M)-Hollywood Studios -Memorial Day
26th (T)- Magic Kingdom
27th (W)-Head home

We will have park hoppers.

This upcoming trip will only be our 2nd Disney trip so I'm sure other people will have a lot more input, but we did the same thing. Started with 2 days at MK and ended the trip at MK. Then did a day at each of the other parks. Worked great for us!

May 3rd to 10th -off-site

 

[hsmamainva]

We have a short stay for our May trip so picking parks was easy!

13th - Check in
14th - Hollywood Studios
15th - Magic Kingdom
16th - Animal Kingdom
17th - Epcot
18th - Check out

But it's better to have a short trip than no trip at all!

(We're heading to Florida with hubby on business...and we got a PIN code for the room at Pop...so the entire trip -- thanks to our annual passes -- will cost us $500 + food and spending money.)

Can't pass up THAT deal!

May 5-15! Staying at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge. First time staying deluxe!

A family friends owns at VWL and gave us a great deal per point ($9!) for the rental. Have the regular dining plan and plan on doing breakfast in the room, quick service lunch and sit-down dinners. Hopefully Thursday goes okay for making dining reservations.

My husband and I are trying to keep it a secret from our 14 year old girls where we are staying until we pull up (normally we do a split stay; start at POP then more to one of the mods).

That is a really good deal per point for renting!

Good thing you wrote about Thursday. That is when my dining reservation opens also and I completely forgot about making them!

Just made all our ADRs for our May trip! Had a minor anxiety attack when the online system wouldn't let me make my 180+10 reservations at 6:00 this morning but I called at 7:00 and got them all.

Yeah it seems the ADR system is glitched at the moment for a lot of people, seen many complaints. Personally I can't get 180+10 to work either, but having no issues with just using 180 days. If your ADR date is coming up soon, I wouldn't rely on the online system to get it done. Be prepared to call.

Can you clarify for me what 180+10 means, does it mean you can book 180 days from your check in for the first 10 days of your stay or does it mean if you are staying onsite you can actually book at 190 days out?

The first one.

 

[Mommyof2Boos]

The first one.

Thank you, that is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure since it is getting close to that time.
