Is it ok that I join in? I'm a newbie! We will be there from 6/3 - 6/10! We are staying at the BWV. We've stayed in this area before, once at the BWI and once at the YC.
Have a lot to get done, as we just booked our trip this past weekend, kind of on a whim. Now, it's time to get busy getting all of the details planned.
So excited!!!
[/QUOTE
We're still working on details (although we have our ADRs booked...) My DD wants to do the BBB, so I have to be getting that booked sooner or later...I just have to figure out what days we're going to be in MK. I think I may wind up booking for the last full day of our trip, because if she wants to keep her hair done, we'll be at a water park on her birthday. Hmm.

Best Disney Story: There are so many! My most memorable is from our July 2013 trip. Our youngest son had open heart surgery in 2012 when he was 4. We planned the Disney trip on a whim because we just wanted to do something FUN! We stopped at guest services to get him a "celebrating life" button. We told them his story, and the cast member asked who his favorite character was. He told her "Pluto." Next thing I know, one of the CM's was running out the door to the gift shop next door and a few minutes later came back with a Pluto stuffed animal and presented it to Griffin. Needless to say, I was a bucket of mush and sobbing.
What do you look forward to most on your next trip? Trying out DVC (rented points at a GREAT deal from my dh's friend at work (less than $9 a point!) and being there for 15 days. I want to take things slow and just be able to explore! We were there for a Christmas trip too (Annual Passes sure do tempt you into sneaking in other trips!) and I felt a bit frazzled. This trip is going to be my slow down trip! We might not be back for a few years (3 trips in a year basically drained all our cash), so I want to savor this.

Such a great story! And I love Olaf, too. We're going to do homemade valentines for my DD's class this year...snack sized baggies filled with Hershey's hugs and a tag that has Olaf and says "Hi, my name is Olaf, and I like warm hugs!" So cute!

You aren't the only one on here from Jacksonville...definitely not the only one from Alabama! I'm a bit direct south of y'all, near Dothan. What kind of "stuff" are you looking forward to?
Hello all,
Well, it looks like there will be no trip for us this year.
We just can't swing it.
Feel free to take my name off the first post . It has been great reading about all of your planning. I am so excited for all of you.
Have a great time
Sorry to see you go, but maybe next year?

My daughter absolutely loves Elsa right now! I think that's who she wants to dress up as when she does the BBB. Totally ready for that movie to come out on DVD!
Way to fast talk him to take the trip!
Cheaper than a car, anyway.
I assume all of us June people have made our ADRs by now. It's too early for FP+ so I'm waiting...and trying to figure out what rides to FP and what rides to jump on first thing in the morning. Hard to do when I've never been there.
Also hard for me is reading reports of people there now and knowing that not only will it be 10 times more crowded in June, but FP+ could be completely different by then too. Hard to get a feel for how it might go when it keeps changing. But I figure it will all be new so we'll have fun with whatever we end up doing. Anything else we should be doing or planning at this stage?
It's not that bad in June, although I understand that, the closer it gets to July 4, the worse it gets. I always hope for a tropical storm. Lots of rain and no lightning, because that will clear out the park.

Best Disney Story: I lost my driver's license while at Animal Kingdom. To prove I was who I said I was when it was time to get on the plane, I pulled out my Disneyland Annual Passport.
What do you look forward to most on your next trip? Staying at the Polynesian for the first time since 1989! Oh, and don't worry, Pete - I plan on staying out of the damn lakes.
Can't believe using your Disney Pass worked! I think I'd love to stay at the Poly...Of the three Monorail resorts...I *think* I'd like to stay there, if I had my choice....
Cheaper for us, anyway and now DH and I can go by ourselves. I hope you come back and let us know how you're plans are going. I read through the WDW side of the boards a little everyday just to try to soak up the information. It is soooo different from DLR!
My planning is somewhat mid-way. I have dates, a place to stay and my ADR's are done. This site is great with tips and information. The fact that it's so different from DLR makes me nervous, so I too try to soak up the information. Good Luck on your planning. 
But our most magical moment - Getting chosen as Grand Marshalls of MK parade!
I know this will be one of, if not the most, crowded times we've visited. We've gone in June but a week or so earlier and clearly noticed that the crowd levels rose almost daily while we were there. I am nervous about that and tweaking my usual planning and park touring style but the intense, non-stop, all-consuming excitement has definitely taken over!!
I am happy I found this and looking forward to seeing everyone's plans for June! 
to HotMama, ashleymrush, JayDerp, m4magic, wensydnic, teachermommy78, melnbil, Kristina4109, mom2maggie, & mrsmorrow! I'm working on updating information on page 1 right after I post this! 
Do you have the CD of the Wishes music? I have the parks CD, and if I'm having a really bad day, I can listen to the music from Soarin', and it puts me in my happy place. I also have a Paris Daydream candle from Bath & Body Works (but I haven't lit it yet...too afraid I won't be able to get another if I start burning it, but it smells like the orange groves...)
I don't know about you...but we won't get out until after Memorial Day (which I think is ridiculous, as my daughter, who goes to school in a different system than where I teach, gets out a full week earlier. She got Labor Day -- I didn't. I got two more days for Thanksgiving than she did (which means I got all her Christmas presents wrapped, which wasn't so bad...), and our spring breaks are two weeks apart, too.)
