I can make them on 5/11, 90 days out. I'll be up early to call right on time (hopefully I'm not a morning person except when I'm at disney!!!)
I
can be a morning person on my first day or two at Disney, which will be good for this trip, I hope! But mornings are definitely not my thing otherwise, and I've been known to sleep ridiculously late (sometimes on purpose, sometimes by complete accident). I have no idea how my dad does it! He can go to sleep at like 1:00am and be fully awake by 6:00 or 7:00am.

I'm much more of a night owl myself, although I'm usually

the next day.
As for PTR-related stuff, I've been checking out the Theme Parks board and I went on the Touring Plans website. So far, Tuesday the 21st at the MK is not looking too bad. TP has the crowd level for that day rated at 7. Having been at the MK during all kinds of crowd levels, even up to 10s, I think we'll manage with a 7. Several people on the Theme Parks board have posted that the week of my birthday, the crowds usually shrink quickly down from the Easter and Spring Break levels. My family has told me several times this week how bad the crowds are right now (TP lists this week at levels of 10 across the board).
The lowest that I've seen the crowds in the past few years was during the trip Rob and I took during the second full week in May 2007. We would get to the parks right after opening, spend a few hours there, and then leave in the afternoon to go back to POP or to DTD for some rest. Then we'd go back to the parks in the evening, and we never waited for anything in the parks longer than 10 minutes. Then the Saturday that we were leaving, we decided to go to MK for a couple of hours for lunch and any last-minute enjoyment, and the place was packed shoulder to shoulder!!
I am glad that at least my birthday is on a Tuesday, when with any luck most of any weekend crowds will be gone. But we won't know for certain what the crowds will be like until we walk into the MK! And at that point, I'll be too excited to notice for at least five minutes.
