***Official June 2018***

Ha, wow girlfriends, you're a nice mom! In high school I used to go with my boyfriend's family on vacation and it was always nice to do things a little differently. My parents never would've done that lol. I hope one day, if my son has a nice, non-annoying girlfriend she could go along with us. But only if she's cool! Sounds like you are gonna have a great time!

They both have really great girlfriends who we are close with so it'll be a blast. We brought GF1 with us as a surprise when DS1 graduated basic training (her parents paid for plane ticket) so she's traveled with us as a family before. They will pay for their own park tickets (GF1 has annual pass, GF2 we will get military hoppers like us) and food (though we may pick up the tab for a couple ts meals).

Is anyone planning a Memory Maker share? I did one last year and it was perfect!

I know we want to get Memory Maker but I gotta figure out how to do the military discount one.

If you have a member of your party with annual pass just link everyone who is going on MDE-the annual pass holder will "own" the account, but all of you linked will have pictures show up on the account.

Bought our tickets home finally!!! Way better deal on delta than SW...and for better seats!! Trip feels a little more complete now. Can it be June yet...I need a vacation!

Getting closer to our trip. ADR's made. Decided on Hollywood & Vine last lunch first day, Tusker house for our Tuesday dinner, Chef Mickey for Wed dinner and to finish off our trip we will be doing Garden Grill. All of our breakfast will be at Land of Flavor at the resort. Family getting very excited as we get closer.

One day I'm going to remember NOT to read these boards when I'm hungry...

Orlando informer is doing a Universal after hours on June 2nd so we grabbed tickets so we can see the HP addition with low attendance. It's now messing up my PPO Crystal Palace reservation for the 3rd. I've always liked the empty main street photos, but is that even an option with them letting everybody in go rope drop?

It's not, they let everyone in to main street and Crystal Palace has no major benefit anymore. The best time for an empty main street photo would probably be late at night.

Thank you! That is what I thought, I'm just going to cancel it.

Any time! I prefer to do a 10:15 or 10:30 ADR so we can benefit from ropedrop but still get there before breakfast ends.

We've decided to add a night and we also changed our dates so we can be there over the 4th of July. Our dates are June 21-July 5 - two glorious weeks! We'll probably stay at Pop on our first night (haven't booked that night yet), then 4 nights at POFQ (may change to AKL when AP rates come out) and then 9 nights at the BC. I was able to get change all our ADRs and get everything we wanted, but then DD asked to go to Cali Grill. I want that on July 3rd, and of course no luck. I've got the TP ADR finder working on it so fingers crossed that works out. I'd like to watch the MK fireworks from there on the 3rd and then we'll be in Epcot on the 4th.

150 days!

Hi everyone,

I’m Jen, and we are heading to WDW June 16-26. This is our first time since we are on the west coast. We are celebrating our sons High school graduation. Looking forward to catching up on this thread!

Ok I think I have yours right! That sounds like a great combination of resorts, welcome!

You're in, welcome! Looks like we're starting to get a few French Quarter peeps in here.

You're also in, welcome! Lots of high school graduations too. Are you staying on site or off? If you don't want to share that's ok too!

We so wanted to do this too because it's right during our time, but with a family of 5, there is either have food for a week or do a one night event LOL you'll have to let u know how you like it. I really want to go to one, but not happening this year.

I totally missed this earlier but I added it to our first page. Sounds like a great event! I wish it was just a few days earlier while we're still over on that side of town. If only DVC Moonlight Magic and that event swapped it would be perfect, why can't they just make sure all of this is a-ok for me??

Do you use Uber to get from Universal to Disney? I'm assuming that will be our best option that day.

yeah I mentioned this to hubs last night and tried to sell him on it-problem is I don't know if all 5 of us will be going or just 4 (not sure of oldest plans yet). Plus we are doing a cruise in October and he basically said this or cruise...
I'd rather plan for regular tickets to UO instead. I think.

I actually stay onsite at each, but for the DVC event I'll probably do a cheap car rental for the night
