So excited!! It is fun to read all these posts from people going in May.

We cannot wait for May to get here. It will be our first trip! I finished my countdown calendar a couple days ago. The kids are getting excited too.

Also, I laminated some LGMH's for our bags! So you fellow Dis'ers, if you see us, come and say hi!!

I will!!! Last March was our family's first trip. Actually the first for everyone but me... I use to go when I was a child, but we only went to MK and Epcot then. We also camped every time we went. But I have great memory's from that.

Have you seen the new hours for April? The MK is open at 8am every morning... I'm undecided on weather or not I want them to open that early while we are there... Only because I made the early ADR for CP to get pictures in front of the castle with very little people behind us. That will only be three days after the end of April so they could open early... But I would like AK to stay open later while we are there! I want to explore AK fully this time.

So excited to be going the last weekend in May! It's just my parents, my brother, and I, so I'm super excited! This trip will also be my 40th trip to WDW and I'm 20! I'm so glad I grew up with a Dad who has the heart of a kid and a mom who loves to see the THREE of us smiling!

The Disney gods were not with me today

I'm trying to book a ressie for the spirit of aloha for my arrival date. I tried booking online but my dining plan wont register and it keeps wanting to charge me the full price.

So, I decied to call instead. The first call I had to hang up in the middle of the prompts because my 18 week old puppy didn't think it necessary for me to be on the phone because it involved not paying attention to her. So, I decided to crate her for 10 minutes while i make the phone call. I decided to use the phone in the bedroom, where she cant see me and the operator cant hear her wimpering. 2nd phone call. I get to the part were I say my phone number. The line goes dead. 3rd try. I get to where i say and spell my last name. The line goes dead. 4th try. I get to the last name and the line goes dead. Finally on the 5th try, I get past all of the prompts and I'm placed on hold for what the prompt said would be 5 minutes. No music nothing during the hold. After 15 minutes, I finally hang up because i'm not sure if i'm connected because there is no hold music and my puppy is now howling at this point. I guess I'll try for better luck tomorrow

You will get (the important) Mickey Mail (with luggage tags) at 30 days out- usually like clockwork.

My DH and I finished the Countdown calendar for our DD (4) last night. We have 67 days left and have all dining plans reserved. This is my 2nd trip and their 1st. Now, just waiting for that tax return so we can finish paying off the balance of the trip.

We are telling our DD as part of her Easter gifts. Our Dining Room is going to become our Trip planner...with the countdown calendar and pictures to talk about what we are going to do while we are there.

NOW!! If we could just finish renovating the kitchen.

Hope the rest of your plans are going as well as ours!!!
