May 16-May 23 DISers Only

[mickeyluv]

It seems that there are threads for the other weeks in May. We need one two, right?! Let's get some info about each other!!!

Has anyone started packing?

Those of us staying onsite, have you received your ME luggage tags and/or information from WDW?

What are you most looking forward to doing or experiencing?

What trip number is this for you?

We leave on May 19th, but fly out at 6:30am on May 20th. We'll be in WDW May 20th - May25th and we can hardly wait...........


1. NO we have not started packing.......I am just now in the process of switching our clothes from winter to summer in our closets

2. NO we have not received out luggage tags from DME!!

3. Too many to actually pick just one, but I would say that one would be the walk down Main Street towards the Castle....always gives me goose bumps!!!

4. This is trip number 3 for me and DH, and trip number 2 for DD.

DW & I will be leaving home about 8PM 5/17 and will spend the night at a Hotel at LaGuardia airport in N.Y.
We will be flying out at 6AM 5/18 and will be at POFQ 5/18-5/22 for our 31st anniversary.
I just started to pack yesterday
No ME tags yet
Get my first MK haircut then anniversary dinner at Tony's [DW & I had our first Disney meal at this restaurant on our honeymoon but it wasn't Tony's back then in the stone age LOL]
This will be my 8th visit and DW's 7th

Maybe all us anniversary people could get together at some point

Wear your lime green

I've been told that you can get an anniversary badge at the parks like the birthday badges

We leave at 7 am out of Atlantic City Int. on the 13th and are staying until the 20th. Is it me or has the world started spinning very slowly lately? This is our 10th trip! We are staying at POR from 5/13-5/15 then we had over to the Poly from 5/16-5/20! Judging from the suitcases in our room and the living room I'd say my wife is half done packing. If I was in charge of packing we would be missing a lot of stuff. I can't wait to do everything, but I especially am looking forward to playing with my DD 10 in the resort pools. We hope to see you all soon!

Going to be there May 14-28th. Organized but not all packed yet. All P.S. done. Might do HDDR still. I love the Zip loc bag idea for kids clothes! It's going to work great. Crocs for shoes rule! So comfortable. The DisBoards have been a godsend. Thanks to all who contribute and especially to those you PMed me back about questions I had.
On a somewhat bad note to those coming down I-75, there are were some major mudslides in Northern TN. Traffic backups as things are down to one lane both ways. AAA has us going down I-90 instead. Just a warning to those from the midwest. Here is the traffic advisory on it.

I have not packed a thing yet.

I've booked two tours, Keys to the Kingdom and Hidden Treasures of the World Showcase. I've also booked lunch with Dine with a Disney Imagineer, I'm very excited about all three of these things. Of course I'm also excited about getting back to Jellyrolls, seeing the new stunt show and Soarin, and meeting a couple of DISers while I'm down there.

Also excited because this is the first trip I've been to WDW during my birthday (the 18th.) I may be turning 32 but you bet your sweet bippy I'll be asking for a birthday pin. The 18th I'm doing the KTTK tour, so I'll spend that day at MK, but I still haven't figured out where I want to go that night, PI or Jellyrolls.

Oh, and I'm staying onsite, 3 nights at SSR, 2 nights at BWV, but no ME, I'm renting a car.

 

[bajanswife]

I'll be in Orlando alone from May 17 - 21, staying at the Rosen Plaza on I-Drive for all but the last night (seminar). The last night (the 20th), I may go to WDW Boardwalk to Jellyrolls - that is the only WDW I will get this trip - no parks! There will be some other DISers there from 9 p.m., so I thought it might be fun to go!

For any of you thinking of heading north to the Universal parks for a bit, I will be there on the 20th. I am dying to go to IOA (never been), and I also want to do the Mummy and Shrek at Universal. Let me know if you are going to be there on that day!

Oh, we're going the 18th to IOA!

 

[Dolphin_Girl008]

We'll be there May 16-26. We haven't started to pack yet. No ME tags.

 

[m&m's mom]

Slimplaw -I guess you and I could actually have our own DIS meet at WDW since we will both be at the ASMu on the 22nd and 23rd. We will be there from the 20th -28th. (For those at home who have absolutely no idea what I am talking about - we are both missing a Dallas/Ft. Worth DIS Meet and they suggested we have our our DIS Meet at WDW).

No ME tags or DDE card, but what the heck! We go about twice a year and have for years so this is officially billed as the "Nothing can possibly upset me trip". If I have to point out my bags to someone, believe me it won't kill me.

I have lots of lime green shirts - hope to see some of yal there!

 

[TimNDansMom]

My DS Dan and I will be at Pop Century from May 20~23. We'll be leaving home on the 19th and heading to Buffalo for the night and fly out at 7:45am the next morning on SWA. We got the $115 RT flights as well!

This will be my 16th trip and Dan's 8th (he just got home from his first year at university).

We are not packed yet but I do keep separate toiletries for travel which are always ready to go. I'll probably start to organize what clothes we will take, this weekend.

No DME tags yet but we will have carry-on luggage anyway. I just hope we are on the CM's list when we get there!

Our PSs are GF Afternoon Tea (a must for me!), Trail's End Buffet Dinner (yummy!), Crystal Palace Character Breakfast and BOMA for breakfast (love the dinner buffet haven't done the breakfast yet).

We will also be meeting up with Scratch42 and her DD for shopping at OPOM and CP!

Looking forward to seeing the Castle decorations completed and going on Soarin' too! Can't wait to just BE there!!

 

[momto2inKC]

We will be there from May 15-20th. We leave next Friday, the 13th, and are driving from the Kansas City area. Yes, we are crazy!! lol We are hoping that we're fully prepared for the drive. We bought a portable dvd player, the kids already have tons of gameboy games and i'm making up little surprise containers with snacks and things for them to do.
We're staying at Pop Century. After WDW we're heading to Universal for a day, then spending the next day at the beach before heading home.
I have somewhat started packing. I have my 8 yr old sons bag packed. Tomarrow I will start working on my daughters. I also have all of the meds, sunscreen and all that packed.
We booked a package through AAA, so we recieved Tinkerbell tags for our bags. We won't be using ME since we are driving.
I'm looking forward to just experiencing and being at Disney! I've already decided that no matter what the crowds are like, we are going to enjoy ourselves!! I can't wait to see the looks on the kids faces as they see everything, i'm bringing my tissues!
And this is our first time going!

 

[lakd]

We'll be at POR from the 15th to the 22nd. Our party consists of two families with 2 DS(5) and 2 DD(1). Haven't received our DDE cards yet, but have the confirmation letter which they say is all you need.

PS at Chef Mickeys, Boma and O'Hana. Have done all in the past except for O'Hana. Driving from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada so hopefully we won't hit any bad weather on the way down.

DS is counting down the days and can't wait to try TOT this year...he is crazy!

 

[ReggieB]

Has anyone started packing?
I have started putting things aside. It's a surprise for my DS4, so I am having to do it on the quiet.

Those of us staying onsite, have you received your ME luggage tags and/or information from WDW?
No, I actually cancelled the ME service last week..couldn't stand the stress. Have all my other stuff though.

What are you most looking forward to doing or experiencing?
Star Wars Weekend!!

What trip number is this for you?
4, I have been to Disneyland twice and Disneyland Paris twice also.

We get to WDW on 17th...I'll be looking out for those lime green items!!!

 

[spereira]

[Grand2me]

We are leaving on the 20th and we have not packed a thing...unless you count mental packing(LOL). I think the week of the trip, we will start to iron and put things on the side. Mentally, I think I have been in Orlando for about a month now . Anyhoo, the weather is still pretty nice down here(surprise, surprise) and it's FREEZING at my job, so I can still get away with things with sleeves on them. We'll be there from the 20th-27th, staying at Lake Berkley. 6 couples? 10 hour drive?! Oh My...I hope we make it there alive...

 

[Deweysgirl]

Count us in too! We haven't started to pack a thing. I will get busy on that this weekend.

We are Floridians and have been too many times to count, but it's never ever enough!

Our crew is myself , DH and 2 DD's 10 and 7 . Also, my parents are joining us for the weekend.

We are staying at AKL and looking forward to animal gazing. Also the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT , our breakfast at CRT and Soarin', Stitch and Turtle Talk w/Crush.

I'll have a lime green on my backpack~Hope to see you all there!

 

[SpoonfulofSugar]

We will be going May 15-21, and we can't wait to stay at the Pop! It will be my ds (3) 3rd trip and ds (11months) 2nd trip.

Yes-- just got the call from our travel agent today and our ME Tags are here!!!

I just started packing for the kids today and boy all the stuff for those little guys really adds up!
My ds (3) can't wait see to Mickey again and give him a hug and then ride Dumbo. My dh can't wait to eat at Whispering Canyon and I can't wait to see my 11month old 'really' meet Mickey this time (he was only 5 months last time) and get his first haircut in the MK.

Hope everyone has a great safe trip!

 

[marriedmarylander]
