Ohhhhhh LOL Im not with it 2day I think Im 2 excited about our upcoming trip in 18 days!!! that is why I am curious about the live reports..I have always gone in the fall never the spring so Im concerned about the crowds, the weather and the love bugs

Me too - we leave in one week! Fall was always my favorite time to go - parks are empty and lines are virtually non-existent, which for me is the most important factor. However, we have gone the last two years at this time or in the first 2 weeks of May and am pleased to report that crowds are very manageable - not empty like in September. Although some lines are 60 minutes or more, with proper Fastpass use and early arrival, you can avoid waits of more than 15-20 minutes for your entire stay. And many rides are even walk-on. Also, no risk of hurricanes and less humid. All in all - a great time of year to go! There are plenty of boards on DIS that will basically tell you the same.

I am typing this from the CR tower room. We got here on Tuesday afternoon and hit MGM first. Crowds were very managable. We thought because it was late when we arrived we may have missed the crowds. Today we did MK and before our lunch time of 11:30 we had done Space MT, Buzz, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, HM, got FP for space and Splash and did BTMRR. After lunch we saw the Pirates Tutorial (which is an awesome outside show with Jack Sparrow) and rode the POTC - are only long wait of about 15 minutes (outside sign said 30). We went back to the hotel for a break. We ate at the Kona Cafe for dinner and are headed to DD tonight. Tomorrow will be Epcot. I will let you know if the crowds get worse, but so far so good!
