Official May 2011 thread!

We leave on May 29th...taking the train down from Boston. We're even getting a sleeper car! Arriving in Orlando on the 30th. So excited! It's gonna be a busy weekend...my kids have their dance recital on the 28th, leaving on the 29th, arriving on the 30th....tired just thinking about it!

More recently (after hearing this repeatedly every day for months):
DS: Daddy?
DH: What, Buddy?
DS: I wanna go back at DisneyWorld.
DS: DisneyWorld burned down, buddy. We can't go back. Ever.

I'm just picturing this conversation and a deadpan response to your son.

Glad you're getting to go again!

Yay, I'm so happy I get to join in! After being asked by my 3-year-old son at least 10 times a day (literally) since about October, my husband finally said OK!

The conversations usually went like this:
DS: Daddy?
DH: What, Buddy?
DS: I wanna go back at DisneyWorld.
DH: I know you do, man.

After a couple of months:
DS: Daddy?
DH: What, Buddy?
DS: I wanna go back at DisneyWorld.
DS: Shut up. (good-naturedly)

More recently (after hearing this repeatedly every day for months):
DS: Daddy?
DH: What, Buddy?
DS: I wanna go back at DisneyWorld.
DS: DisneyWorld burned down, buddy. We can't go back. Ever.

(DS knows he's not serious. But DH really was getting aggravated and tired of hearing it. And I wasn't even brainwashing DS at all--I promise. It's like Disney is really, truly addictive...almost kinda scary.)

Then, yesterday, out of nowhere, DH said we could go back in May!!!

Of course, we're super-excited, and I made a couple of ADRs (Chef Mickey's & Akershus, but I'm thinking of dropping that one), but I'm a little nervous b/c this is the first time that we won't have the dining plan. Hope the kiddos don't miss all of those character meals too much.

Anyway, YAY again!

Congrats on getting to go back!!!

Your son and DH's conversation was .

I would love to hear how your experience is with the train. Is it straight through from Boston? Does the train go right to Orlando?

It's so close!!!
This winter weather cannot leave soon enough! Disney (May) here we come!!

ok..so asking for help one more time...we planned a special "princess day" for my DD who is 4. We are having dinner with the princesses at Akershus and I tried to order the Mini Surprise Cake..but Disney stopped making them in Dec. 2010. Does anyone have an idea that would be a cute "princess" dessert that would be good for a 4 year old?

 

[jshal8]

Maybe your DH's sister would enjoy the Wishes Dessert Party?

thanks for the tip..we have booked the dessert party and have planned a few other sites that we think she will enjoy!

67 days... I can't wait. I'm trying to take it easy on the planning. I'm still planning but trying to to go overboard and stress myself out. Really excited about all the 40th anniversary merchandise.

I'm heading down to Disney the first week of May and I'm SO EXCITED! This will be my third time back to Disney and I'm taking my boyfriend as well...his first time in 16 years and our first vacation together! I'm very excited...we've waited 5 years to be able to do a vacation together and I couldn't think of a better place to take him! I'm trying out CSR this time around, and am hoping that the experience is just as good as everywhere else I've stayed!

My friend and I and her 8yr old daughter are coming down for the hunt.. the 8yr old knows just as much about disney as her mother and i do its kinda impressive

I thought about doing the hunt, but I think my preschoolers would rather not! I hope all who are have a great time! I can't wait to hear about it after the trip.
