May 2009.... Waiting....

[Poohs#1fan]

We actually had $100 voucher from our last years trip, mechanical problem with plane. So I paid $128 with the voucher, so it was $228.

What airline? Thanks! I'm holding out a little longer. SW sale ends tomorrow, so I'm hoping the next one will include my trip.

I don't know how out of the way it is for you, but since you're considering Philly, you could also check out flying out of Atlantic City, because they've always got pretty cheap prices also. Just for a suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked into them, but the prices weren't that much different. Since I will have my almost 2 year old DD with me I'm willing to pay a couple extra dollars for the convenience.

Hello everyone, I just booked for May 23 - 30th. My DH and I will be celebrating our 20th anniversary at the Poly. This will be our first visit to the Poly but our 8th trip to WDW. I hope I can join in with your discussions? Has anyone made their ADRs yet?

Congrats on 20 years. I hope we can make it that long. Despite all of the rumors at the beginning of the week, we all can only make ADRs for Chef Mickey, CRT or V&A at 180 days out. We are all just waiting for an announcement about the system upgrade. HTH

We are flying Continental. So I booked CBR, and they only had standard view left. Over the last 10 years we have stayed AKL 2x, GF 3x and Poly 3x. I am a little worried the I will be disappointed with the resort. I have seen mixed reviews and am hoping for something to make me feel a little more comfortable with our choice.

I am feeling very frustrated today. I know we are all waiting patiently (ha) for the May hours, but I've had a draft of a schedule for a while now. Wanted to make sure I knew what ADRs I wanted, in case they ever open. Today I go on UG and they changed some of the crowd numbers, but all of the best parks. I have so much holiday stuff to do and now I have to redo the schedule just in case ADRs do open on the 22nd.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Unofficial Guide - it's one of the guidebooks for Disney and they have a website (touringplans.com) that gives your a crowd level for each day from 1-10 and tells you the best and worst parks for each day.

Just pulled up the website and it costs to subscribe. Not a whole bunch of money but, does it provide info that is not easily available elsewhere?

If you have one of their books, then it is free. You can also access, I believe it is the next month for free. From what I understand it is similar to Tour Guide Mike, but I've never been on his site. Those are the only places that I am familiar with that tell you which park should be best on which day.

We are also going from 05/16-05/23. We are staying at the Poly. Usually, my DH wants to stay at the EPCOT resorts. However, this trip I convinced him to try the Poly and he agreed. My DH is afraid of change and is afraid the experience at the Poly will be different than the magical times we have had in the past. Last May I had the POLY booked and he convinced me to change it to the BC. Since talking it over with him he is extremely excited to try the Poly.

 

[rentayenta]

Another one for May here! We'll be spendinh 5 nights at OKW GV, 3 nights at AKV 2 bedroom, and spending the last 2 nights at the Pop Century!

 

[DisneySherpa]

Count us in

We'll be at CBR, room, from May 2nd to May 9th... celebrating my big guy's 26th birthday on the 5th

We booked the DDP but have yet to make a single ADR... holding out to see what the park hours and EMH schedule will look like.

Let the countdown begin...

 

[Poohbug]

Hey all. We are going May 2-10 with my Sis and her family. We are all staying at CBR and I can't wait to show the boys the new pool.

I'm not stressing about the hours or ADRs. We will get the QS DP and are flexible with our park days. We do need to fit in a day or two at US tho.

I cannot wait for the flower & garden festival, I am sick of winter already.

 

[aspen37]

I will be going on my first SOLO trip in May.

May 9th Dolphin for one night.
May 10th-14th Disney Wonder. This is the 4 day DIS Unplugged Podcast Cruise.
May 14th-21st at Port Orleans Riverside.

Can't wait for my first Solo trip.

Asking Santa for May hours... I think I've been pretty good this year... only went to Disney once

I heard there's a good chance that Space Mountain will go down for refurb shortly after Easter... so it looks like this may affect us May travelers

If you've been keeping up on some other threads you may have read about how Space wasn't even placed on the MK map or mentioned in the 09 planning DVD. There was a solid rumor going on (before the release of the DVD and maps) that the ride would close for a significant part of 2009 for a full rehab.

There's talk now on whether or not the ride will in fact go down this year due to the lack luster year 2009 is turning out to be for Disney... so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[amblackmon]

Hello! We are going to be at the AKL on May 14 - 24th of 2009. We are so excited and I can't wait to make our ADR's. Anyone have any ideas on when we can do that?

 

[smilie]

We're just going to the Magic Kingdom, on May 4th. It'll be the little munchkins first trip. We're very excited!!

 

[englishrose47]

Add meto the list !Going solo May 16th thru 24th at Pop!!

 

[SIMMSMOUSE]

I am booked May 21-28 at POP and CBR because I can't decide which one to stay at. This is our third trip as a family. DH,DS6 and DD9. I am a Disney fanatic. I didn't go as a child so I am making up for it now. After Christmas dinner we were looking at old family photos and I have Mickey ears on in a bunch of them. I have always loved Mickey and that proves it. Photgraphic evidence. My DH laughes at me.

To acces it with having the bookit asks words from certain pages of the book and then you get all the info!!So if you get the book you can find all the dates !!
