Disney in May?

We will be there May 16th - 23rd. Me and 3 teenagers! I must be crazy. We have been in May before - the weather was comfortable and crowds were very manageable. Never too long a wait for anything. Can't wait.
 
Touring Plans at touringplans.com has a crowd calendar. Tells how long ride wait lines are at different time of the year plus other helpful info. If you can go in May rather than summer, you are fortunate.
 
Count us among those who were also down last May for the torrential downpours

We've been traveling down to WDW every May and October since 2003 and last year was the first year we ran into such wet weather :sad2: Normally the temps are mid 80's during the day and low 60's at night. May used to be a more quiet time at WDW, but over the past few years we've noticed an increase in crowd levels for both our May and October trips :confused3
 
We went the first week of May last year and it was great! :goodvibes It was hot enough that the swimming pools and water rides were very refreshing, but not so hot you just couldn't manage. The crowds are what I expect at Disney... lots of people, but again it could be managed. We had a great time and couldn't complain about the weather or the crowds. :cheer2: Oh and the wait times were always great too!
 

We were also there during the downpours last year. Even with all the rain we still had much fun. It's Disney World- how can you not have tons of fun! This will be our third May at Disney- and we really love this time of year. We actually used to go the week mentioned by OP. The parks are decorated for Christmas and are so beautiful. But the weather is a bit iffy- and we didn't always get to swim in the pool. We used to stay at the Yacht Club- loved it there so much. This will be our first trip to BLT as DVC owners! Can't wait- 27 days to go! You'll have fun no matter when you choose to go.
