We will be arriving on May 14th and leaving on the 22nd. We are staying off resort n the Windsor Hills community.

I can't wait! We are finalizing a lot this week and it's all very exciting.

Well, I just got off the phone. I got all of our reservations, all within half an hour of my "ideal" time. It was quite a pain, especially at the beginning. The Cast Member I talked to had an extremely thick accent and I had to have her repeat "Grand Floridian" at least six times. After that incident though, things went pretty smoothly, so that was good.

Anywho, we're on the Deluxe Dining Plan and we're currently booked for these:
Narcoosee's - D
Akershus - B
Teppan Edo -L
Biergarten - D
Yak & Yeti - L
Raglan Road - D
50s Prime Time - L
Brown Derby (way earlier than we would have liked, but I wanted to get the package; I figure we can just chill for a while between courses or something so we don't explode from the food) - D
Crystal Palace - B
Liberty Tree Tavern - L
Spirit of Aloha - D
Coral Reef - L
California Grill - D
Le Cellier - L

I do have a quick question for you all. With Extra Magic Hours, do you have to be in the park when they start or can you come in after they've started? If it's the former, I may need to play around with our Narcoosee's reservation.

I am just so excited! We made our reservations before Christmas and on Friday I got to do my ADRs....I was up @ 6:30 to make the call.

We will be at Disney May 14-21. On the trip will be me, fiance, dd who is 4 and HOPEFULLY my mom. I have been to Disney numerous times as a child and we also went last year. Last year was my daughter's first visit as well as my fiance's.

We Will be staying @ All Star Movies

I am kind of celebrating....we leave 2 days after my last class. I am done with college classes, will be just doing students teaching Sept-Dec. and then I am done with school . I am just happy that I don't have to take anymore classes haha.

We made our ADRS for Ohana breakfast, Chef Mickey Breakfast, Le Celier Dinner, 1900 Park Fare Dinner, Whisper Canyon Cafe Dinner, Tusker House Breakfast, and Crystal Palace breakfast.

We have yet to book our flight though.

 

[kshearer]

Sounds like you are all set, just need to confirm air. We are headed to the CBR the day before your stay. Its our first trip. I was so excited to make those ADR's. Hope time flys now!

Great ADR's!! We're going DxDP this time too! I'm feeling bloated by all the food already, but we enjoy the food at WDW as much as the attractions!

For EMH, you can arrive after they have started!

 

[jillybeanuwp]

We will be there May 17th-the 24th Staying at Pop it is LuAnn's very first trip and we are going on our Senoir trip just 9 years late

 

[GEM]

We're there the 16th-26th.

We will be at the Boardwalk Inn in a deluxe concierge room from May 16th-23rd and at Animal Kingdom Lodge in a savanna view room from May 22nd-26th.

This trip is a high school graduation party for four really incredible kids. I teach and direct children's and youth theatre and there are four seniors (members of our Professional Training Company) who graduate this year who have been in our program since kindergarten. They are all headed off to colleges literally all over the country next fall to study theatre or musical theatre, so this trip is one big graduation celebration and a chance for us all to spend some special time together before this very, very close knit group gets split up. So, it's me and four teenagers! They're all great kids though and we've done lots and lots of traveling together, including a few international trips and even a previous Disney trip a few years ago as part of the Disney Youth Education Series. The trip is all paid for by fundraisers they've been doing for the last two years (special benefit performances of our shows, etc) and by donations from our boosters. I really can't even explain how much fun these kids are or how proud I am of them. They've literally spent their whole lives working together, so this trip marks the end of something really special....and the beginning of college experiences we know will be amazing for them!

We have lots of neat things planned...Keys to the Kingdom tour, Wildlife Discovery Excursion, dinner at the California Grill followed by a Wishes cruise, a carriage ride and then the Hoop De Doo review, a photo session, etc.

We also have the deluxe dining plan, so we're going to be doing lots of eating...which is honestly the thing they are most excited about right now!

Breakfasts:
Spoodles
Cape May
Crystal Palace
Tusker House
Captain's Grille
Boma

Lunches:
Coral Reef
Tutto Italia
50's Prime Time Cafe
Cinderella's Royal Table

Dinners:

WOW!! That sounds like an amazing trip for some amazing young people! I'm sure there will be some bittersweet moments during the trip when it starts to set in that this is it, they're off on their own soon.

Maybe I should have done a fundraiser to pay for our trip!!

[cjfaldalen]

Well, not sure if I belong on this thread, because we'll be going to DL in May, not WDW, but its still a May Disney trip! This will be my third trip to DL and my second in May ~ it seems like just the right time to go. This is more of a quick trip than the others, but should still be tons of fun

 

[ckdsnynt]

Staying at POFR May 16-23 and have all my ADRs! The wait is on!!
Trying some new TS this time so really excited. Wanted to try CRT but don't have any kids so didn't try too hard for those ressies. Will wait until DGDs can go with us to try to get in there.

 

[chicagoshannon]

We're going May 3-15 staying off site at Windsor Hills. I only have 1 ADR, Crystal Palace breakfast.

 

[mamamac]

Things are finally falling into place.

I've made two of our character meal reservations
-Crystal Palace for breakfast
-Akershaus for a late breakfast

On Friday I can make the last one at the Hollywood Vine for breakfast.

We got our airline set up last night (under $200 per person roundtrip!!! can't beat that )

Reconfirmed our reservation at the house in Windsor Hills.

Still need to get the car rental set up and order tickets.

Cannot wait!!
