The crowds and weather where???

If you are asking about disney crowds and weather is May-- I think the weather is beautiful! Its not as humid, I normally go in Sept and its HUMID. May is a gorgeous time to go! We went May 15th-19th last year-- I also thought the crowds were good too! Compared to the crowds in Sept the crowds were higher but I didn't really notice a huge different. I think you should be fine with being able to get one and off everything pretty easily, and just be sure to get fast passes for the more populare attractions

I think May is an awesome month to go to WDW. Great weather, and crowds aren't too bad at all, esp. earlier in the month.

We went the first week of May in 2010 and it was HOT to me. 90-95 every day. We were expecting closer to 85. Even the locals were saying it was unusually warm. The May before that it was unusually rainy.

That said, if heat and humidity don't bother you, the crowds were AWESOME. It wasn't crowded, we didn't have long lines for things (for example we stopped to do tons of meet and greets on our way to get our TSMM fast passes and didn't have to join the "stampede" and got them for later in the morning no problem.) and I would LOVE to go back that time of year again, but DD can't be taken out of school again. Also, DH was miserable in the heat.

(We're going at Spring Break next year. Much better weather, but OMG, I am not looking forward to the crowds.)

I thought May 21-29 2010 was hot too. Maybe the crowds could be worse but I thought it was crowded. Esp. DHS during Star Wars weekend. Glad to have done it once, but I'd love to go during cooler weather.

We found it to be very hot the first week of May in 2010. The crowds were very light. We were able to ride space mountain, thunder mountain, and other popular rides several days, were there was no line at all

The only ride that had really long lines the whole week was splash mountain, because everyone wanted to cool off.

We were there during the flower & garden festival at Epcot, but couldn't enjoy it due to the heat. We were running from shade spot to shade spot, and there arn't very many!

I personally wouldn't go in May again.

We love early May. I don't know about later May.

We are planning to go down the first week of May again this year.

We have had Mays that were beautiful and not hot at all and we have had very hot Mays. The crowds vary, too, because a lot of Florida schools and schools all around the U.S. get out in mid to late May. If you worry about heat and crowds too much, you'll never go. After all, it is "Florida." Hot and humid is our middle name...bring lots of water, sunscreen and good walking shoes and just GO for it!

I went the end of May 2010. I didn't think it was too bad. I did get one of those cheape 3 dollar fan spritzy things from walmart. Had a little clip to connect to my belt loop. I was awesome. And not thing huge monstrousity like they sell in the parks. Loved it.

those few dollars made a huge difference. Oh and we did 2 parks a day. one in the morning. siesta in the afternoon. And play again at night.
