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

[Desiree]

Going off topic, but I'm excited to say: "ADR's are done!!!" After some early this morning, couldn't book online at 6am, 7am book over phone, but couldn't do it automated so had to wait, wait for live person (& I had no music so wasn't sure if I was waiting or disconnected ) Then I go check everything and I couldn't pull up confirm. #'s -- wasn't a good morning, but finally!!!! We got everything!!!!

Here it is:

5/17: Dinner @ LeCellar @ 6pm
5/18: Breakfast @ Castle @ 8:05am (yeah!!!! we're eating at the castle, we're eating at the castle!!!!! sorry don't know who's more excited me or my dd---me!!!)
Dinner @ Coral Reef @ 6:10pm
5/19: Dinner @ Big River Grill
5/20: Breakfast @ Cape May @ 7:45am
Dinner @ Crystal Palace @ 6:15pm
5/21: Dinner @ Rainforest (DTD) @ 5pm (oop)
5/22: Dinner @ 50's Prime Time @ 5pm
5/23: Dinner @ Tutto Italia @ 6pm

Which leaves us with 1 TS credit to use either on arrival nite/depart. day @ Beaches & Cream.

So excited that I'm done, but am I'm going to do for the next 6 months as we wait????????

That is fantastic! We have to make ours Thanksgiving morning!

My first thought was Cinderella but then I had to go with Pluto. That snugly adorable pooch.

Question of the Day:
With a lot of the original Disney movies coming back out, which one are you hoping they will still redo?

Ex: Lion King just came up, but I would love to see Lady and the Tramp again!​

I think they've worked through most of them now. But haven't released them to cinema; at a push I would say Aladdin as it is my second favourite after Lion King.

PS: Lady & the Tramp is the next to get the re-vamped DVD treatment to be released in early 2012.

I have heard Lady and the Tramp comes out on video in the spring 2012. I would love to see Cinderella. My daughter would love that movie. I know I did as a little girl.

I've been lurking on this thread for a while, but I can now officially join!

My friend and I are booked for Old Key West May 6-10!

 

[Jessica527]

We just decided to plan a May trip for 2012!!! So BEYOND excited!!

We have our dates set, May 13-19th. We want to stay at the Yacht Club because of their pool. We are praying for a room discount to be released.


Decided on a few restaurants already so far.
Kona Cafe for Dinner
Crystal Palace for Breakfast
Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian.

That's it so far

The ONLY thing I am worried about are crowds+heat. We went once over Memorial Day weekend and the crowds were horrendous and it was soooo hot.

I am assuming it will still be just as hot, but the crowds won't be as bad as they would have over MDW... either way, I would rather be in Disney hot and crowded than at home any day!

Anyone have any suggestions for restaurants/ways to beat the heat/ planning anything... I'll take it! Haven't been on the boards much since our last January trip, and am not up to date on new changes, etc.

Sounds like you are doing great!

Some suggestions:
- Since you are staying at Yacht Club: Try one of the restaurants in that area. The Yachtsman is great but pricey. Captains Grille has amazing food as well!
- Kona Cafe is great, but I think Ohanas is even better. Check out the menu!
- #1 Suggestion - ADRs a must!

Enjoy!! Check back here often!

When I went as a kid, I got one of those autograph books. XD I wonder what happened to that thing...

OMG, I think it was a small wood giraffe from DAK for my shadow box...if I am remembering correctly. It was 1995 or 96.

HOLY CRAP!

I just found airfare from an airport about 1 hour further than our usual airport (2 hours) that has NONSTOP air for $160 pp!!! And awesome flight times too!

It was in 1995 and it was a blue t shirt that said Disney World Florida on it. My mom and my aunt had taken us for spring break. I was in the sixth grade.

I had my ADRs booked before the trip was booked!
They may change, but so far:
Boma
Rose & Crown
50s Prime Time
San Angel Inn

Since this trip will be my friend and I and DH is staying home, I tried to book places I like that DH doesn't care for. Good compromise, right?

Hi everyone! I'm redshoepaul's girlfriend, so like he mentioned before we'll be staying at Pop May 22nd-29th. I seriously can't wait to go. It's getting colder and colder in Boston which makes me want to be in Disney so much more.

A Disney magnet, with a little monorail that slides back and forth.
