Yay!! MANY people, myself included , have been awaiting this day! Ha ha!

Let's see... ADR's I'm hoping for are Akershus (lunch or dinner), Be Our Guest, Liberty Tree Tavern, Garden Grill, 'Ohana Best Friends Breakfast, 1900 Park Fare, 50's Prime Time, Via Napoli for DH and I's "date night" and Chef Mickey's for the in-laws and our daughters while we're on our "date", Hollywood and Vine Breakfast and 'Ohana dinner. Then we're also going to get a reservation for the Dessert Party!

Your wish list is very similar to ours except with have CRT for lunch, Sci FI instead of 50s. We are on the fence about Hollywood and Vine. We are sad to think that our kids may have out grown that one. We are definitely going to the Disney Junior Dance Party but may pass on the Disney Junior meal this trip and go back to Cape May for breakfast instead. We have never done the dessert party.

Yay for May hours!!

Definitely have three planned. Tusker House for breakfast, Hollywood and Vine for lunch, and Sci Fi Dine In for dinner.

24 days until I can make ADRs!!

Hollywood and Vine was specifically requested by my 5 year old DD! She had a definite list of her own "must do's" including 1900 Park Fare, Akershus, Chef Mickey's and Hollywood and Vine. She's so funny and definitely her mother's daughter!

We did CRT the last time my in laws came with us, so they haven't experienced Akershus and Addie loved the little parade they do with the princesses so that's why it won out over CRT for us! The dessert party was so much fun! My in laws love them some desserts... so I know they're going to LOVE it!

When do you think EasyWDW will update it's crowd levels for May? I know they finished up April a few weeks ago.

 

[Aatif911]

Well, the May calendar/hours is posted. Now we can really start planning

What ADRs are you wishing for?

May hours!! this is great!!! thank you

 

[Aatif911]

I really have to start planning our ADR's now that park hours for May came out.. 14 days of meals to plan!!!

I am ready for this, too. I saw where touring plans updated it's crowd numbers but did not change their park recommendations. Maybe they have fixed that by now?

 

[mickeyplanner]

Glad to hear everyone is starting to plan ADRs. We lucked out today since it is the seven month window for us and got to switch from BLT to the Beach Club. Our kids are so excited to be staying there again and using the pool. Now we just have to decide on adding a night at AOA LM. Does anyone know any historic discounts for May? We will have APs by then and we have a Disney VISA. Just wondering how much we might be looking at for one night there.

Your 5 year old sounds like our soon to be 7 year old. Are you doing 1900 for breakfast or dinner?

I would expect discounts of up to 35% to be released late December or early January. However, AOA LM has not yet been part of discounts, so it may be rack rate for a night there.

Only 212 days out now. Hopefully, tomorrow my Mom will hear whether or not we got out room request at Bay Lake Towers.

Signing in!! My DH and I are taking the plunge and doing an adults only trip for our 20 anniversary from May 2-5. Our 2 sons are ok with it...for now The 10 yr old keeps wavering, but the plane tickets for us are already bought, so it's happening!! I am sure our 17 yr old is looking forward to us being gone, however...

Dinner... I think we're probably going to do it on our Animal Kingdom day then head over to Magic Kingdom afterwards! You can't be that close to the Castle and not go pay it a visit!

 

[bitohoney]

I'm in May too! 5/24-5/31 with DD and her friend (who has NEVER been ) staying in a family suite assigned at check in. We want to be surprised!

How fun!! Your DD's friend is going to have a blast!

Thanks for the heads up on no discounts usually for LM. I wonder what the price difference would be between LM or POR Royal room for one night with a discount.

I hear ya, when the kids see the castle they want to visit. We always have that problem too.

Our last trip we booked AoA LM room, then after the discounts switched to POR Garden View Royal Guest Room. Switching only cost us an extra $150... for our 7 day stay (including dining plan and park hoppers)! So I'd be willing to bet, POR after discounts is close to AoA!

[Aatif911]

Hey guys,

So I'm looking for some advice. We are booked for 14 nights at POFQ, and are having trouble with where to eat. 14 days means 14 QS and 14 TS.

Lets ignore the QS and focus on the TS.
So far this is our must do's

1900 Park Fare - Dinner
1900 Park Fare - Breakfast
Ohana - Dinner
Kona Grill - Dinner
Be Our Guest - Dinner
Cinderella's Castle - Dinner (2 credits)
Akershus - Dinner
Cape May - Dinner
Boma - Dinner
Chef Mickey's - Dinner
Via Napoli - Dinner

Leaving us with 2 more TS.
Any recommendations? May something else in Epcot, or other resorts.

Thank in advance for the help.

PS were also doing Ohana - Breakfast, but since it's so cheap were going to pay out of pocket.
