Disney Veteran excited about May trip!!!

I couldn't agree more, OP. I'm so excited to be there in a week and half even without FP's made. I figure if I want to ride something it can just be booked in the morning through the App. Yes, I know I'll not get SDMT or the more popular rides, but I'm good with that.
 
We are going end of May and could not be more excited! You're right about all the negativity on here though. When I came back to the boards several months ago to start planning, I started to second guess our trip after reading so many negative posts about FP+,crowds, etc.

I had a short time when I was sweating out FP times, and being anxious over not getting a BOG lunch ADR. Then I remembered that in my job I am serving among people every day who are either homeless (living in tents or sleeping in alleys) or otherwise living in extreme poverty, which pretty much snapped me out of any angst about ADRs and such. I am just fortunate that my family and I get to keep making these vacations to WDW. I am grateful
 
10 days and a wake-up!! 1st trip back since Oct 2011. We love WDW...I don't listen to the negative stuff on the boards. I'll form my own opinion about FP+. It's not about the rides for us anymore. We are super excited about staying at BWV's this trip. We have stayed at all of the Mod's and and at the WL. I suspect this will be a great trip for us!!
 
Agreed. I'm a fan of the FP+ system. We had luck with it last Feb and we're looking forward to utilizing it again.
Haters gone hate.
 

Great post - good to see some pixie dust on Disney

WE'll be there in May also. Arriving on SUN of the first Star Wars Weekend. No issues with FP+, we got everything we wanted. Mine Train for 2 days at MK. We really don't do many table service meals any more - just too expensive. We don't complain about it, we just don't choose to spend our money that way. Two places nearby that we really like are Chevy's (mexican) and Tijuana Flats (also mexican). There is always a trip to downtown Disney for Earl of Sandwich.
 
We are leaving today, our first time ever going in May! We usually go the week before Christmas and we liked how FP+ let us lock in rides during a really busy season. It was also helpful to use it for fireworks in order to get out of the Christmas crowds. It will be interesting to compare the first week of May to the week before Christmas. Hopefully it will be a huge decrease in crowds for us!
 
Have a great trip! Down to 30 days to go for us-first SWW.

I have to say (for most part-some things could be tweaked to be better) I liked FP+, MB etc. Offsite last year and we bought MB for the convenience. It was an end of June trip and we waited in maybe 2 lines longer than 20 minutes. And I booked ADR, FP with less than 3 weeks to trip last year. Got everything we wanted at good times-including A&E.
 
14 days and counting for us! Booked our FP+ at 30 days and got everything we wanted. We'll be hitting the last day of the F&G Festival, the MK 24 hour event, and SWW. This is our 8th trip and we can't wait!
 
We leave ONE day before the 24 hour event. I was so bummed when I found out. I don't know if my five year old could stay up anywhere near enough hours to make the most of it anyhow, haha, but I hate the option is lost to me.

See if you can stay one more day... I'm looking forward to 24 hours of Disney. :)
 
13 days to go for me. I'm a fan of FP+ and Magic Bands as well... and have always had good luck with both. Can't wait for my trip, which be about #35. With so much to choose from there is always something new and different to experience: this trip I'm having my first breakfast at CRT and also doing Hoop de Doo for the first time. Can't wait!

We will be there at the same time. We're having breakfast at CRT on May 20th. : )
 
We're leaving May 23rd! We love, love, love it! We love the new FP+ system too - no running around to kiosks and we love the Magic Bands. We actually like making ADR's way ahead of time too - we love to play with the system and read menus and figure out what we want to eat. Helps us to budget too! We are in the "HAPPY CAMP"!
 
I will just echo all the other posts (especially on FP+, MagicBands, etc.) and say enjoy your trip and maybe we will run into each other in the parks!! I'll be at the Rose & Crown on Saturdays I'm sure :)
 
I like FP+, not love it, but like it. We are on vacation and we are late nighters, so we don't do rope drop, so FP + works well for us. We aren't the first ones in the park so at least we don't have to worry about whether or not we will get FPs to stuff like soarin and TSM. Only drawback is the limited number of FP+, as I'm sure everyone knows. But regardless, we would go to Disney anyway, we love it. If something doesn't work for us or we really don't like something, we do something different next trip. That's one way to find out if you like different resorts or different restaurants, yes, some are by far worse than others, but like I said, we just don't do that thing anymore. I am sorta in the planning phase for my next trip, but, SADLY, it is over a year away, around 380 days, so there is only so much planning one can do at this stage. Read up on changes, and get a general idea of where you want to stay, where you want to eat, that kind of thing. But enjoy your trip and give Mickey a kiss for me, but not the creepy new talking Mickey, maybe soceror Mickey.
