Is May busy at DVC?

[Claire L]

Just thinking about next years holiday and wondered how busy DVC is during late May into early June? Can anyone give me an idea?

Memorial Day holiday falls the end of May so typically the weeks before and after the holiday would be quite busy. Beginning of May probably would be less crowded. June picks up in crowds as many states around the country are out of school by then.

We really like the Flower and Garden show at Epcot, and so we go either early or late May and have found either time a great one to visit. We've had it very very hot at the end of May, and we've been there in early May when the weather was cool, rainy, "unseasonable."

Crowds haven't been bad for us, except perhaps for the Memorial Day weekend.

We went this past May on the 11th - 16th. We stayed at BCV. We own at SSR (can't remember when I made the reservations - maybe 6 months out?), but wanted to try Storm-a-long Bay and walking to Epcot. It was fabulous. It was hot enough for the boys to swim, but nice enough in the shade to sit and watch.
The crowds were very, very light. My son and I stayed on Splash Mountain for 2 straight times (could have stayed on more, but I was getting a little wet). We have very minimal wait times. We usually do the Early Magic Hours, but didn't need to this trip. We tried the Extra Magic Hours in the evening and found them very crowded (really usual!). Typhoon Lagoon had walk up lines on the water slides. One evening at Magic Kingdom, we walked onto every ride (Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Winnie-the-Pooh, Peter Pan - which was up to 45 minute wait because the DVD just came out, Buzz - twice) during the Spectromagic parade.
I would say middle May was perfect!

With work commitments looks like we will be there May 21st for 16 nights.

May is our favorite month to go. We are going the first week in 2008. This year we went May 21-26th. It really gets busy for Memorial Day. It was starting to get busy toward the end of our stay. The restaurants were still full. ADR's are still a must.
