May 18th can't come soon enough. Will be at POR. Had sinus/septum surgery yesterday and my focus on the trip seems to be helping with the discomfort. Will be the first time for our 7 year old. Can't wait to see him at the parks.

Anyone want to post their MAY itinerary? I'm super curious to see what everyone else planned for the dates I'm going to be there! Here is my tentative itinerary:

May 14th: Land in MCO 11am, Check into Pop around 1ish, Epcot in the afternoon, Cape May 6:20 ADR, maybe see Illuminations if we are up to it.

May 15th: Animal Kingdom until early/mid afternoon, Whispering Canyon Cafe 6:15 ADR, Magic Kingdom EMH until midnight (not sure if we'll make it all the way to midnight, I kinda doubt it)

May 16th: Hollywood Studios until early/mid afternoon, 50s Primetime Cafe lunch 12:30 ADR, nothing planned for the evening, probably heading to DTD for Earl of Sandwich dinner and shopping

May 17th: Universal to mostly see Harry Potter. No ADR's planned.

May 18th: 8:05 Crystal Palace ADRs, Magic Kingdom most of the day, nothing planned for the evening except 6pm Boma and whatever else we want to do.

May 19th: Epcot until early/mid afternoon, 7:10 Ohana ADR, Probably head to Magic Kingdom for a couple hours and to see Wishes if we haven't already.

May 20th: Departure day. Go to Hollywood Studios at Rope Drop for Star Tours IF it actually opens this day. Maybe one more ride on TSM if we can. Hop to either MK one more time OR DTD for one more trip to Earl of Sandwich, back to Pop by 3 for our ME back to MCO for a 6pm flight back home.

SO...what are your MAY plans? It's getting closer! SO EXCITED!

ETA: Because I completely skipped a day in my itinerary! OOPS!

May 8: Land at MCO just before 1pm, be in Epcot by 3pm. Akerhaus at 7:00pm. Will be doing Kim Possible on the earlier end and the WS and then rides on the later end.

May 9: Universal IOA for Harry Potter and then back to Magic Kingdom for the evening for the Electric Parade and EMH until 2am. No ADRs

May 10: Rope Drop MK (not a discussion for our party, it's a MUST, we're young and obsessed with the Rope Drop song). ADR for Crystal Palace at 7:25

May 11: Animal Kingdom and resort pool day. Beaches and Creme for dinner.

May 12: Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and then Hollywood Studios. 50s Primetime at 7:15 and then hopefully Fantasmic!

May 13: Downtown Disney in the morning, afternoon tea at the GF Cafe at 2pm, Magic Kingdom for the afternoon and Epcot for dinner at Tokyo Dining for 7:20. This day may change around depending on how everyone's feeling, but Epcot has EMH until midnight so we're going to end there!

May 14: Leaving. Probably won't be doing anything except packing up reluctantly and leaving if Delta would settle on how our flight out is changing

 

[MommyPoppins]

We are heading down May 7th-14th. It's the longest we've gone since 2006. We are SO excited! Staying at Bonnet Creek in a 2 bedroom condo, for less than a AP rate at a value.

Now I just need to get in on a photopass share! If anyone else going around my dates wants to do a share search Disney Photopass Share on facebook. I don't want to host one, because I never have. But if anyone else has and wants to host it lets get together over there and do it. It's such a great idea!

Anyone want to post their MAY itinerary?

Here's our current plan (subject to change in the next 5 minutes ):

Sat, 5/27 - arrival day - depends on how early (and how grumpy DH is after the long drive) as to what we will do. Tentative plan is to just relax by the pool until dinner ADR @ 'Ohana

Sun, 5/28 - DHS - lunch F! ADR @ MamaMelrose

Mon, 5/29 - EP - lunch ADR @ CoralReef; dinner ADR @ Les Chefs de France

Tues, 5/30 - AK - 8:15am ADR @ Donald's Safari Breakfast - relax at resort/swim late afternoon/evening

Wed, 6/1 - MK - mid-morning ressie @ HarmonyBarbershop for DD's gel & Mickey confetti hairdo; dinner ADR @ CrystalPalace

Thurs, 6/2 - SeaWorld - relax at resort/swim late afternoon/evening; possibly DTD

Fri, 6/3 - no ACTUAL plans and truly won't have any until probably Wed, 6/1 for this day - this is my "trying to be carefree" attempt. We may be at MK with a dinner ADR @ Tony's ... or at DHS with a lunch ADR @ Sci-Fi ... or we could cancel ADRs and just eat around the world @ EP

Sat, 6/4 - departure day - may stop at DTD if we haven't found that perfect souvie or have any TS/CS/snack credits to use up
