Hello Eveyone.

Decided to join up on this forum.

We will be traveling May 18th to the BWV (one bedroom) for 8 nights.

Me, DD 3, DS 4, and DW 28

Our 3rd (annual) trip in May

Hope to learn a few things here as well as from TGM (I love him)

Best wishes and Pixie Dust to All

We're arriving at ASMovies from May 2-4, then checking in at the Poly from May 4-11 and spending our last week at the GF from May 11-18.

We are looking forward to this vacation, so much. My family really deserves this time away

Only 139 more days until our 9 night vacation at the Beach Club Villas, two bedroom. I can't wait. May 15th-24th. Now that Christmas is over...I can focus on planning my trip.

Amen! I am with you on that! We are going to be at AKL from May 14 - 24 and I nearly can't wait!

May 15th-24th. Two bedroom villa at Beach Club. I can't wait. I have never stayed at the Beach Club before. The last time we stayed at the Swan and I fell in love with that whole location. It is, IMO, the best location in all of Disney. I can't wait...I can't wait....I can't wait!!!

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?

The ADR reservation system has now been cut from 180 days to 90 days (this is the same for tours and recreation as well; but La Nouba remains at 180 days)

Looks like we won't be making any ADRs for another month

My family and I are so excited to be going to WDW in May. We will be staying at the GF May 15th to May 22nd. It will be our first time staying at the GF and we can't wait. It will be Me, DH and our 2 boys (13 and 11). We will be on the DDP and I can't wait to get the park hours for May so I can plan out my ADRs. I think I am driving everyone in my family crazy with all the Disney talk.

I was just wondering if you guys/gals have bought your airfare yet? I have been watching SW since it came out and the prices haven't gone up, but I'd like for them to go down. The current sale runs through April 30th, so I'm hoping soon they'll run one for May Just wondering what everyone else was doing

We purchased our airfare through Southwest. Manchester to Orlando, nonstop. We paid $134 each way, not awful, but not great. I would welcome a spring sale. When we went to WDW in 2007 we paid $64 each way. I was hoping we would get the same. I check the SW website frequently, hoping that a sale may be announced.

 

[DisneyMagic06]

I would like to join in... we are going May 2-9 staying at POP, if tax return is more then expected we will be staying at the Poly.

I can not wait.

 

[loonytoony]

May is great. Hours should be posted soon once they get the new website squared away

 

[msce2]

We are going in May as well. May 17-22nd at BCV. It has been 6 years since I've been and I was pregnant in 2003 when we went last. So I'm really looking forward to Tower of Terror, Rockin Roller Coaster and others that I've never been on. Well and I'm also looking forward to seeing my kids have TONS of fun.

Hoping they post the hours soon so I can put a schedule together. I've already started our "packing list" and timetable. I'm going to be driving my husband crazy. He actually just suggested we go now instead so he doesn't have to spend the next 4 months listening to me. (I was asking if we should be taking the double or single stroller)

Anyone driven recently with kids and have any suggestions? We are driving from Philly to Orlando. Taking 2 days - driving around 8 hours each day. Kids are 9, 5 and 2 1/2. Thanks!

DH, Myself, ds 11, dd 9 and our friends and their two kids are going May 15-25 staying at Fort Wilderness!! Really excited to start planning.

 

[Tinkerbellandfamily]

I'll be back May 10th to the 14th. I can't wait!!! I'll be at the Fort Wilderness Campground. It won't be here soon enough.

We'll be at AKL 4/30-5/7 with DDP. Have my dining choices planned and will call on the 30th to make ADRs. Used UG's crowd calendar to assist with the planning and we'll go to Discovery Cove and Universal on the two days they have predicted the highest crowds.

We purchased our airfare through Airtran ($530 for the three of us-myself, husband and 6 year-old son.) Thought that was very reasonable. Have a ressie with National Car Rental for 8 days ($291) but will keep an eye on rental prices as our trip approaches to see if they release any promo codes.

Here's to 2009 and less than 4 months till we return to WDW!

Anyone else care to share their airfare situation??

Anyone else care to share their airfare situation??

Southwest was $1496 for the 5 of us out of Philly. Delta was cheapest, at $870 (flight times were less than ideal as well ie a layover of 3 hours in Atlanta) but then we would have to pay $15 for the 1st bag and $25 for the second. Either way we will be driving as it is less than half of the cost. My Mom got flights out of BWI on Airtran for around $560 for 2 people. We are also traveling on Memorial day weekend.
