May vacation

[picantel]

Alrighty then. We are taking another trip to disneyworld from may 15-may 22. I have seen people talk about the beginning of may but how is that time range. I hate crowds- I mean really hate them.

First night through priceline for $84:
Gaylord Palms Resort. How is this place? I am not sure I have ever seen anything on it.

3 nights coronado springs and then 3 nights french quarter. I am praying for AP rates to come out soon as it will save me $400+. I have a disney visa but ahem it is sorta near maxed and useless to me now unless someone wants to pay it off for me(wink).

One of our 3 favorite times of year to go to WDW is the end of May. Crowds are low and it's toward the end of the F&GF. By then most people have already seen it. Just be warned in can get very warm during the day so be sure to bring lots of sun screen and a hat. Our first May trip in 1990 I had no hat and got sunburned on the top of my head.. Ouch!

Most of My WDW vacations have been in the first 3 weeks of May. I love the time of year because it is warm (sometimes hot) with beautiful evenings. The Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot is going strong and the crowd are easily handles. You will still be waiting in some lines but in general, Epcot is easy. Most of the Disney MGM Studios is easy except for the two big attractions RnR and ToT but even then if you do them first thing, the rest of the day is a breeze. The Animal Kingdom is fairly easy though you may have to wait a bit here because there are so few "rides" though the lines move fast. The Magic Kingdom is the most problematic though there have been some non early entry days that have been awesome with the longest line being 10 minutes. The MK on Saturday in May is still crowded and crazy. In general there may be lines but the crowding is not a problem except at the MK on Saturdays. I have not noticed it being that much busier later in May.
I spent one night at the Gaylord Palms via Priceline and found it to be a wonderful place. Hopefully you will be assigned a room with a view into one of the Atriums but ene if you don't get one the rooms are nice and comfortable. There is a lot to look at here and it is a fun place.

We'll also be there at that time 5/14-/22, and this will be our 2nd time we'll be there mid/end of May. Last time was a blast~hot enough to really enjoy the water parks, cools off at night. The crowds were about average I'd say, of course the weekend crowds are always bad. The only time I remember really suffering with the heat was the day we went to AK~there didn't seem to be many places to cool off in there and as a CM reminded me ~"well, it is Africa!"

Can't help ya with the hotel but you already heard about that anyway.
