May-2008 Goers!!!!

[dypan]

Yep, Yep, Yep! These Kansans are heading east!

It's our first spring trip since we've always gone in the fall. I'm interested to see how different Florida is in the spring.

May 25-30 - DH, DS9, and Awesome Niece 11 (her first trip). She would never have this opportunity in her own family, so I can't wait to blow her socks off in Florida.

We're going to Animal Kingdom on Memorial Day since all the castmembers have advised this would be the least busy of the parks that day - head back to All Star Movies for nap and then to P&PP (my wish ) that evening. My 11 year old niece is doing BBB (niece wish ) during the party and we're getting her the Elizabeth Swan Geisha Pirate costume to wear. I can't wait. We have dinner at Liberty Tree that night, as well.

We're doing Hoop-De-Doo Tues, 50's Prime Time Weds lunch, Le Cellier Thurs lunch, and Islands of Adventure Friday (DH wish) along with DisneyQuest (DS wish) Friday night.

I told everyone he/she gets one wish. We may not win any wishes, but we're making our own. I'm still trying to sneak one more surprise for DH, but haven't come up with anything yet. Perhaps an anniversary cake arriving at lunch????

We are also going in May 7-14! We have been to Disney more times than I could dount, but this is the first time in May. So like every other time we are just as excited as if it were the first time. Has anyone been there during Mother's Day? Can we expect anything special? How are the crowds?

74 days!!

I'm making a cake to celebrate.

May 10th-14th!!!! I just realized that's Mother's Day weekend, hope the parks won't be too crowded! Staying at Pop as well, and reading this post explains why there were no more preferred rooms available when I booked last week!

we are going May 23-30..this is my second time to visit...we went 8 years ago..so much has been added...we are staying at the Beach Ckub Resort...any tips?!

 

[LilGMom]

We'll be going May 11 - 17.

This is our first real May trip. We took a long weekend trip last May but tend to do our longer trips between Oct. & Feb. We'll be staying at AKL for the first time in about 6 yrs.

Really looking forward to it!!!!

 

[gatorgirl2]

our trip is may 27 - june 1 ! we went spring break last year, my third time, my wife and two boys' first. the family is beyond excited. being the week after memorial day weekend, what kind of crowds should we expect?

I read where that is supposed to be one of those special weeks that have less crowds--sure hoping. Went to Disney only once when it was super crowded--not a pleasant experience. We're flying down that Sunday so I'm rooting for low crowds, as well.

 

[liftn]

We have gone in May for the last 5 years and I can say that the crowds are very managable. In fact when we went 4 years ago it was amazing how empty it was. Not a single line. Mothers day is a little more crowded, but nothing compared to busy season.

 

[liftn]

Oh ya May 9 to 19th AKL!

 

[Queenie122]

We will be there May 5-13,staying at POR!!! Getting married at Seabreeze Point May 7th!!!! May 9th going to Pirate Princess Party.

Congrats!!

We just found out yesterday we are having my daughter's Make a Wish trip May 10th - 20th! We were able to extend it a bit because there is just so much to do! Her wish is to "Dance with the Princesses" and "See Cinderella Castle." I'm excited it's so soon but also sad I won't be able to get her into CRT because it's only 2 1/2 months off. I'll probably try to keep calling and get a cancellation. *crosses fingers* We do have one for Arkershus but no Cinderella and that's her favorite.

We will be staying in the Give Kids the World Village and then with some family. We are going to our first Pirates and Princesses Party Friday the 16th. We will also be celebrating Mother's Day and mine and Hubby's 5 year wedding anniversary. So exciting!!

What's the deal with pre trip reports? Does everyone read them?

I've read a couple of pre-trip reports but I like the post-trip reports the most. I hope you, your daughter and family have a wonderful trip. Most of all, I hope your daughter's wish comes true and a cancellation will come up at CRT. Maybe they can make an exception. After all, it's still the year of a million dreams celebration. My son needed special care as a baby but he is doing well now. We are going to Disney for the first time with DS6 and DS4 from 5/21 to 5/26. I'm sooooo excited for them to be going. Well, who am I kidding, I am sooooo excited for me to be going. It is all about the kids though. We'll be at the Port Orleans Riverside. 81 more days.

We are going for the 1st time in May!!!

May 9th - 17th
Beach Club

May 3rd-May 11th. 8 of us in a 2 bedroom villa at BC. Just hit the 99 day mark today

We'll be at WDW May 3-12!! First time to spend Mother's Day at WDW. We'll be at Beach Club Villas -- woo hoo!!

We're going May 4-10! We always go in May...our anniversary! We are taking out DD(she'll be 22 months...this is her second WDW trip) and we are staying at the BCV. We rented from a DVC member and got a great deal!! See you May-goers at the World!

Hey! We'll be at BCV too May 4-12, so hopefully we'll see you to wish you a wonderful anniversary!! If you haven't been to BCV yet -- you will love it! My 26 month old loved Storm-along Bay!

I LOVE May at WDW!! I'll be there May 8-12. My mom and I are going for the first time in a loooong while together- last time was 1993.

We'll be at the Beach Club and I can't wait!!

In case I missed anyone I apologize but this is all the people that will be at BC during my trip in May. Shoot me a pm if we wanna meet for a kitchen sink or somethin'

I'm so Psyched to be going for Mother's Day! My DS is 9 is he too old for the P&PP (and please don't say you are "never" too old" cuz sometimes you are!) Is it more princess than pirate??

PS WE almost ALWAYS go in May and usually the lines are VERY tame and the weather is usually very nice.

Maybe try 1900 Park Faire Cinderella is there. I hope your daughter has a great trip.

 

[AnninIowa]

We will be there in May - only 59 days away for us as we'll be there April 30-May 7!! We are staying at AKL, as we loved it so much on your last trip. As for any special deals, HA! With the higher prices, the hotel and tickets cost as much as our trip last February when airfare was included. Ouch! We're going as if it is the last time we ever get to visit, but we'll see about that!!

 

[mandiella]

We'll be there 6-13 May, splitting our stay between WL and AKL, neither of which we've stayed at before...we can't wait.
Plus we're getting the dining plan for the first time, since they've finally allowed AP holders to add it. We're going to be fat and happy with all that food!

 

[gibsontrio]

I'm in cold NY here and my tulips are starting to bloom!! Know what that means???? MAY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!

 

[MissMommy928]

We're going May 5-12 and staying at POR.

Does anyone know if Disney does anything special for Mothers Day?

I'm looking for a nice place to eat Breakfast/Brunch on Mothers Day. Any suggestions? I think that's what I like the most about being a single mom on Mothers Day. I get to pick where we eat. Muahaha!

 

[vettegirl]

Just booked for Shades of Green May 4-9, this will be our first time at DW. We are taking my DH parents with us, we are so excited (well at least I am)!
