Question of the Day:
Are you a pin collector? If so tell us a little bit about your collection! ​

My daughter was a pin collector for years and years. Her collection grew to over 400 pins! I found a fabulous seller on ebay who had great prices on pins that we would then take to Disney and trade for limited edition pins. She has some really good pins including lots of limited edition and even some that were pulled for having errors on them. I shudder to think how much money was spent on pins over the years.

My lovely man and I are going to be staying at the Beach Club from 3rd to 17th May We have always wanted to stay here and be so close to EPCOT, and are really looking forward to the festival too It will have been my birthday on May 1st so I will most definitely be celebrating!!

May 5-11 here! We are staying at All Star Sports right now.

YAY!

No dining plan for us but I am trying to figure it out just in case we get free dining code.

My ideas so far are:
Tappan Edo
Kona
Sci Fi
1900 Park Fare or Akershus (if free dining, otherwise not paying that price)
WCC

But.....that's all very tenative. I need to decide soon though.

Thanks for joining us! Looks like you have a great plan. My only suggestion is make your reservations now, and if you don't want them you can always cancel!

Check back here frequently for lots of updates!

Oh I will be making reservations. My 180 day window opens on Monday.

Have fun getting up extra early I will be up early on Tuesday making my ADRS!

Just finished making the ADR's for DD24 and myself last night on the phone (much easier I find than trying to do it online).

So, resorts booked (BCV and AKL), ADR's book for the two weeks, plane booked months ago (going on points).

All I need to do now is read other threads about hints , tips, etc. That could take a long time!

We just got back from our surprise trip. Had an absolutely amazing time. This was only our 2nd trip ever and it was just me and DS(5). We flew for our first time and had a worry free vacation... attended MNSSHP & the F&W Festival. The deluxe dining plan is pure torture (but lots of fun too). Now our countdown is on for May & I cannot wait! I also purchased an AP!!! Can't believe it!

Yes and I! And we can say it is sort of an addiction. I have over 100+ pins and love all of them. Guess you gotta have some type of collection right?

Question of the Day:
What is your first full day plan? What park will you be visiting? Do you have any ADR plans that day? ​

My first day plan is Hollywood Studios, will be up early due to the time difference so will make rope drop & get in the scramble for FPs for Toy Story.

Dinner is at Coral Reef over at EPCOT so we'll probably stay & play for a little while after.

Leave this thread for a week or two and now so many posts!

Question of the Day:

I guess I need to start planning all of our days!
Our first full day will most likely consist of Magic Kingdom like always!
We only have 4 ADRs for the whole trip so I think the first day will be all QS meals.

What is "ADR"? XD But in any case, we're landing in Florida that morning, and will spend the afternoon and evening at Epcot. We plan to eat there, too. ^^

Monday! I have a lot of thinking to do before then.. lol

 

[::Snow_White::]

I just came back to share this awesome idea that I had that I'm very excited to do on our next trip!

I'm in college right now for photography so I'm a camera geek and have this instant camera that's basically like a polaroid. I plan on taking it with me and get pictures with the characters (like always!) and after it prints out in the 4 seconds it takes, have them sign the bottom where the white border is! My parents will have digital cameras so I'll have those pictures too but I absolutely love oldschool photos and I think this would be such a fun project!

Also found out the May hours are up so that means I get to start planning our daily plan!

I've already done that

 

[::Snow_White::]

I've already done that

I realized they were up about a couple of weeks ago but I've been a slacker and forgot! I don't know why, I could plan and replan and unplan and replan...

Our first full day plan in, AM-Hit Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Weekend, lunch at Si-Fi diner. PM-either hit Stormalong Bay or (if we're not too tierd) stay at HS for more Star Wars(think they have something called the Oopla)
