****Official May 2012 Thread**** ALMOST TIME TO LEAVE!!

What is one interesting fact about Disney that you don't think other May Disers know?

When Mickey Mouse is in "one place" parade, character meal etc he is no where else in the world. Not Disney world, no where else on the entire planet.

We got our checks today from our Chase Freedom credit card I've been saving up my rewards dollars for this trip and we got $450!!! So I figured between credit cards & such I only need to save up another few hundred or so for food & other things.

I also laid out all of our clothes today for each day and took pictures so I can start to coordinate... I need to find DH & myself something for our day at MK & Universal yet. I also need to figure out what types of shorts we'll be wearing and make bows to match for my daughter. I made so many shirts that we only have to wear "normal" clothes on one day. Seriously!

Today, 5 minutes ago... I PAID OFF MY TRIP! WAHOOOOOOOO! Now I can start setting money aside for the gift shops! Hehehehehe

In other news, my dad is refusing to wear matching shirts. It's not like they're bright pink, or anything... maybe I can talk him into matching hats.

ALSO: Does anyone know what princesses typically show up in Akershus Royal Banquet Hall? My coworker's little girl begged me to get Sleeping Beauty's autograph, and I told her I would do my best. ^^;

Sleeping Beauty was there the last time I went.

71 days left for me! $380 left to pay off. Income tax didn't cover the whole trip. Oh well.

Sleeping Beauty was there the last time I went.

Good to hear! I was worried that they may have certain princesses one night, and other princesses the next.

It is subject to change, but when we were there last it included Belle (pictures with her were part of the package), Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Ariel.

I just made my first ADR! Dinner at Ohana on the first night we are there! All the reviews sounded so good, and then when I told my husband it was skewered meats, he was ALL ABOUT IT!

Our reservation is at 8:10pm, and I'm hoping to catch Wishes either from the windows or down on the beach after (As I have heard you can get a pretty decent view)...Is this true/possible??

 

[disneydiva16]

59 days for me! Sooo excited

 

[ChipnDaleRule]

If anyones interested I've just had to cancel Crystal Palace on 27th May at 8.20 for 4 people

We too have an Ohana dinner ADR for our arrival night! I am so excited. From what I have read, the Poly beach is one of the better places to watch Wishes, they even pipe in the music. We are planning on watching it from the beach

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

2 Months!!

 

[Annadesu]

On the third day of our trip, my fiance and I are going off to do our own thing (the rest of our group will live without us for 24 hours). We're eating alone at Ohana that night, and we're super excited. He went there as a kid, and it's one of the most vibrant memories he has of Disneyworld. I've never been there, but it sounds GOOOOOOD. Our "two month" mark will be in 2 days, I believe.

OOOoooh! I'm booking dd(will be 14) to do that also - I guess I better do it FAST if others are already booking!! UGH! I can't beleive it's a 5:45 arrival time Good thing it's a quiet day and early night beforehand.

OK, So I've had absolutely THE worst possible 24 hours imaniganeable DS and DBIL are TRYING to drag me in between them in their AWEFUL HORRIBLE TERRIBLE NASTY NASTY NASTY seperation problems and i'm completely stressed b/c of it. (They tried this a month ago too). I've finally had enough and asked them to respect that I can NOT be a part of it. I want to be there for them but CANNOT discuss what's going on and let them bash each other in front of me. (I really don't take stress well). So, now to get my mind off it I decided to do something fun and I....

MADE NEW DISNEY TICKERS!!! LOL Do you like them???? My last one was off by a day b/c we added a day and I wanted to add one for the EE 5K so I feel a little better havng done this. and now DH is going to leave work early to take me out for a relaxing lunch so hopefully they will respect my wishes and I can be free of the stress!!!! of course I still know what's going on but they need to stop dragging me in the middle of it!!!

 

[twyckoff]

We are booked for Sports may 1-9. We have most of our adr set also. Ohana, Yak and yeti, t-rex, le Cellier, and Coral Reef. Now onto more important things, like attraction planning.

[bigsis1970]

[KellyWasHere]

Although not in Disney World, our next trip is our 1st trip to Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort! We're soooo excited. This is our 1st real road trip as a family. The first van holds Disney Mimi and Disney Papa, Second Van holds DW; DH; DS; DS; and DD, and the last van is DB; DSinlaw and DN. It's about a 20 our drive, and my children are in for a real wake up call, as they think Disney is only a few hours away. We just can't wait!

Fun, I hope you have a great time! I've been wanting to go to Hilton Head but haven't made it there yet!
