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

[Corrine 1973]

Hey everybody,

I know we have almost a year to go but I thought it would be a good time to start planning some trips for May 2013. Is there a better way to wait out the long months until our next trip than spend it with other Disney Lovers who are going at the same time.

*Updated June 21st, 2012
Trying to make it easier for everyone to be able to see what others plans are I have reserved the next three posts to keep track of everything.

Post 2 is a list of when everyone is going and where they are staying. If any of this info changes just let me know and I will change it ASAP. For those who are new just let me know when you are going and I will add it to the list as soon as I can.

Post 3 is for ADR's. I know we can't yet make any ADR's, but as soon as we can I will add your confirmed ADR's to the list with the dates and times (if you are comfortable with it). Who knows, maybe a couple of us will have ADR's that overlap.

Post 4 is resevered for links to PTR's. If you are like me you like to read all the PTR's you can get your hands on. Here is a great place to have them all in one place so we can all say hi to each other.

I also wanted to let everyone know that it came to my attention after I started this thread that a May 2013 thread had already been started. If anyone wants to check out that thread here is its link. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2820611


I started a Facebook page. All are welcomed to join me. Here is the link. https://www.facebook.com/groups/387472274646131/

corrine 1973- So What If Our Trip is 527 Days Away, I Need Some Disney Magic Now!

 

[Along4theRide]

I'm so ready to start planning, I'm driving myself nuts! We'll do Cocoa/Melborne beach May 26th-30th then will be headed "home" May 30th-June6th. Probably staying at POR although our love is WL, we'll see what $$ allows! Only 339 more days, ha!
I won't be doing a PTR or even a TR as writing just isn't my thing, but I'll be reading everyone else's!

 

[Goofy4WDW1964]

Goofy4WDW1964 - Will be there from May 18th, 2013 to May25th, 2013. If we rent DVC will be staying at Old Key West. Otherwise, will be at Port Orleans - Riverside.

If we do dining plan, whether free or not, we will be dining at Chefs of France, Via Napoli, Crystal Palace and the Plaza Restaraunt for sure. Considering the Japanese restaurant and Mexican restaurant as well, and, hoping that we can try the new Be Our Guest at the Magic Kingdom.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Joining in! We'll be at the CBR May 22nd to June 1st.

 

[daisy_77]

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for starting this thread, Corrine_1973!

I will be there with my husband, DD who will be 8, and a baby who will be about 5 months old. Our dates are May 11-21.

We are leaning towards AoA..although I do love Pop, CSR, and POR. I have plenty of time to decide..then change my mind..decide..change my mind.....

I look forward to getting to know my fellow May peeps!

Welcome to the thread. I know what you mean, if I didn't start planning something soon I was going to drive myself and everyone around me crazy. I can't wait to start reading everyone elses PTR's.

Welcome to the thread. I am loving your choices for ADR's. I can't wait until Be Our Guest opens so I can read more about it. I am thinking that my DD will just love it. I will add the ADR's once they are booked to the thirst post.

Joining in! We'll be at the CBR May 22nd to June 1st.

Welcome mickeystoontown, I am so glad you are here. CBR looks like such a nice resort.

Hi everyone!

Ahh you are so sweet Daisy 77. Welcome to the thread and congats on the upcoming baby. Traveling with a baby should be fun.

I know what you mean about the resorrts. One day I have decided Pop all the way but the next I am thinking POR might be nice, I really enjoyed POFQ, and CBR looks beautiful. Oh the decisions.

 

[jennyjinx3]

Hi everyone!

We are HOPING to go back from May 16 - 25....hoping also that this is the first SWW!! Thoughts on this??? We will most likely be at POR.....

Hey Jennyjinx3, Welcome to the thread. I was there last May 27 which I believe was the second weekend of SWW. I am thinking it should be open on May 25 and probably will be the weekend before. But this is just an guess, will not know for sure until the actual dates come out.

Added your dates to the list.

 

[jasperess]

Count me in!

Jasperess - probably May 4th-12th, POR or POFQ. Haven't booked it yet (waiting for them to release it online), but I'm wicked excited! It'll just be me and my husband

 

[AvasMommy526]

Joining in! We are going May 22nd - June 1st! Celebrating DD's 2nd birthday on the 26th, having our wedding the 27th and Disneymooning the rest of the week away! We are planning at staying at either BLT or BCV possibly splitting the trip between CRB also (depending on the deals that come out!) I am planning on ADR's at O'hanas, Kona, Cape May, Chef Mickeys (for DD's bday breakfast!), Tusker House, California Grill and Crystal Palace (we love Pooh, ok I love Pooh ) and some others TBD! Im so excited for this trip!

 

[Lidian]

I'm here as well.

May 11-18 @ POR for DN's First trip and her 5th birthday (and 100% of it will be a surprise!)!

 

[cindermomma]

Hi!!! My family (me, DH and DS11) plan on going to Disney World May 30th - June 6th. We CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! Not sure about ADR's, or even if we will get the dining plan. I think we would like to stay at All Star Movies again and try to eat at Garden Grill for sure........can't wait to plan with everyone!

 

[daisy_77]

Thank you! I am excited to travel with a baby, but super nervous. DD was 2 during her first trip and it was a breeze. So I am hoping with the proper preparations this will be easy too.

This will be DH's first trip. He is SO excited! He has never been to a Disney park. So this should be a LOT of fun! I am hoping he "drinks the kool-aid" and wants to go again after this trip.

I am seeing lots of links to past TRs and PTRs for next year! I am gonna have some fun reading to do this weekend!

Welcome Jasperess. I am with you waiting for Disney. I wish they would just open up the packages already. I guess I could make a room only reservation, but it just seems like such a pain to have to add on the package later. I am super excited as well, so excited that I had to start a planning thread.

Add you to the dates.

Welcome AvasMommy 526. Sounds like you have a busy trip to plan next May. It also looks like or date over lap a little. Hope to see you at the World. I love your plans for ADR's. I will add everyone's ADR's when they are officially booked.

Added you dates to the list.

I'm here as well.

May 11-18 @ POR for DN's First trip and her 5th birthday (and 100% of it will be a surprise!)!

Yea Liddy's here. I am still disappointed that our trips don't overlap this year, but at least we will still be able to plan our trips together. Now we just need to convince some of the girls to come over here and join the fun. You know who I am talking about. (D, TK, oopsiDaisy, exc. . . )

Added you girl!

Your DH's first trip to WDW. . .How exciting. I hope he is instantly hooked and he wants to return year after year.

You sound like you have a busy weekend of reading to do. Don't stress your eyes out to much.

My DD is spending the weekend with her dad so I am forcing myself to be non-productive and do some serious dis-ing

DH has been so wonderful about all this Disney stuff. I don't think he has ever known anyone who loves something as much as I love Disney. He just humors me most of the time and says whatever I plan will be great. He doesn't know what monster he is creating

I also want to start laying down some plans or at least get some ideas of where we should eat. I haven't planned a trip since 2007...so I'm a little rusty.

BTW, I started reading your PTR and your kids are so cute!! Your DD sounds a lot like mine. A sweet girly girl
