More pixie dust from me!!!!! We'll be there from Wednesday-Thursday around Mem Day and I'm hoping SOME of our trip will be less crowded at least. I know I just added a night onto my stay and was able to keep my room....
Have fun you guys going before me!

My group will be there Memorial Day weekend (Saturday through Wednesday) I finally decided a couple of weeks ago to see if, on a long shot, I could get PS at Rose & Crown for Illumnations on any night of the trip. Lo and behold, I got 7:30 on Saturday! They did say I was one of the last tables available so they couldn't guarantee outside, but at least we'll be in the right place at the right time

I made my PS this morning for 5/20 and 5/21. I got an 8:05 PS at Crystal Palace and 1:15 for lunch at 50s Prime Time. I had my CHOICE of times for both restaurants. If it's going to be level 7 crowds and 85-90 minute wait times, how can I get any PS time that I want with only 2 weeks to go? I think that is a very good sign! I'm getting a teeny bit hopeful that the hand-wringing is for not.

I hate to be voice of gloom, but LOTS of newbie visitors don't have a clue about PS. They just show up! LOL!

Hi - have a great trip - to make P.S. call 1-407-934-7639...

We are leaving on May 17th -25th - hoping the crowds are too bad. Waited until the last minute the get Fantasmic! Dinner Package - even though we already had PS for Hollywood & Vine, we could not attach the FDP for any night of our stay... However, I called to make PS for my parents who are going for their 50th wedding anniversary 6/1 -5 and had no problem with the four restaurants they chose.

Have a great trip everyone.

I called yesterday to inquire about 5/20 and 5/21 and they had any time from 5:00 to 7:00 open at H&V.

It is the Star Wars Weekend on 20, 21 and 22 May. I would try and make your PS as soon as can. Although the park doesn't usually suffer too much from crowding (except over near Star Tours) I would imagine that the restaurants do get a little busier, especially with walk ups, having a PS will make your wait time considerably less.

Star Wars weekend pretty much takes place in MGM though...right?

Yes, it doesn't effect the other parks at all.
