next week advice - weather / toothsome

[Kristin0713]

Hi everyone! Our last trip to US/IA was in December of 2021. We have done a lot of trips to Orlando in November/December but never in May. I'm getting nervous about the weather forecast. Rain everyday! For the experienced Floridians or Florida travelers - will it likely be afternoon thunderstorms and do you think they will be passing quickly? Should we bring ponchos or umbrellas?

My other question is regarding Toothsome. On our last trip, I booked dinner reservations every night for the restaurants we wanted. But then it seemed pretty easy to adjust them that week. So I haven't reserved anything yet The only one my kids really want to do is Toothsome (for the truffle fries and milkshakes) but dinners are totally booked. Should I keep searching everyday, or will things probably open up next week? I guess it was dumb of me to not have something booked.

Any other advice regarding how things may have changed or what to expect in May vs. Nov/Dec?

Thanks!

Always bring ponchos! It rains almost every day this time of year....sometimes for a long time, sometimes it's just a brief shower.

We went from may 7-22 last year (usually go in late Nov). We were in universal and Disney, and it rained several days of our trip, but only one day was a total washout. The rest were just quick showers. Id definitely bring ponchos or umbrellas. It was also HOT. So sometimes the showers were nice and cooled it down.

Toothsome is usually one that booking several weeks at least is recommended. You're butting right up to Memorial Day holiday so not surprising it's booked.

Last year I booked lunch for my b-day on May 4th something like 2 months in advance. It def. filled up on reservations and even though I was able to change it once on timing from dinner to lunch, times were extremely limited once I got close to the actual date.

I should add you can always keep checking or last ditch effort go for a walk up but a wait may be there.

I would check frequently for Toothsome (because why not), but it does book up weeks in advance.

Thanks so much you guys! I bought a ten pack of cheap ponchos

Oddly, when I checked Toothsome just now, there were tons of dinner openings! They must have just released a bunch for the week. So I got one. Thanks

Actually, no. I was looking at Toothsome in California I’m just going to book a lunch.
