[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

Do we think park hours will get extended for May?

They usually always do

Love it! I'm doing Flower and Garden, Jungle Cruise/Adventureland, Incredibles, and Maharajah Jungle Trek!

Those sound like fun ideas!

I spent way too long this trip "stuck" on an MK outfit. I got in my head that I needed to match head to toe - does anyone else feel that way? For example, shirt theme matches ears, and backpack (loungefly if you're doing those)?
I got this super cute Pirate backpack and I could not find a Disney pirate shirt that I liked. I finally just gave up, and now I am fully at peace! I have embraced the outfit of "Disney things that I like" on MK day! So, I have a shirt with the castle printed on it, a pirate backpack, and I might get either Winnie the Pooh ears or Toy story. Why not???

It's gonna be hot, so I'll be wearing SPF shirts during the day. Except for Galaxy's Edge. I got some dope Star Wars stuff to wear.

I just put in a time off request for the day before we leave. We are going for cheer stuff so we will have practice the night before we leave and I know I won't have much time after practice to pack for everyone. It just gives me peace of mind to have the entire day before available to get ready to go. We are staying at the cabins so I need to really buckle down and get delivery set up and bring any of the recommended essentials for our trip. Checking the weather, we are looking at mid-90's. As long as the lovebugs aren't around, I'll be fine.

Good reminder! I need to get thinking about my grocery deliver too. I did this last time we stayed at All Stars and I think it worked well for us. I don't feel like I over ordered, so I'll do it again this time.
Since this will be a HOT trip, I'm planning to get a case of water, and also some other hydration drinks like gatorades, etc. I think it would be good to throw a couple extras in our bags each day. We can get a cup of ice and pour our drinks over that. And the water bottles would be handy; we always bring a refillable bottle, but there are times when it isn't easy for me to find water filling stations!

Have y’all been watching the wait times lately (please tell me I’m not the only one stalking the MDE app from home )

I hope crowds stay like this….genie is only $23, there’s still lightening lanes for Slinky after 8:30, yesterday there was still VQ available for Tron at 4:00

I stalk wait times even when I don't have a trip coming up! I'm crazy, I know.

I agree - these times are excellent! Low G+ cost, paid ILL's have been available all day. I could swear that yesterday or maybe the day before, I saw the 1 pm Tron VQ still open around 3:30 pm!

When is your trip? Mine is Memorial Week... so, while this is very exciting... I don't expect to see this during my trip.

2 weeks from today is our 4 park extravaganza (we’re there that whole week but the other days will be pretty low key)

Headed down Saturday, hoping this trend continues!

Hey May friends! What shoes do you all wear in the parks when you're gonna get wet? We're going up to Universal for a couple of days and they have some awesome rides that you get super wet on. I could go with flip flops, but want to know if anyone has any great ideas for shoes that can get wet.

We carry flip flops with us and change into them if we're going to get wet, either from a ride, or if it starts raining. If I feel like wearing sandals all day, then it's going to be something better, but better shoes are too heavy to carry all day.

18 days and 22 hours to go, but it feels forever away! Work is so stressful right now I just want to hide in my room under a blanket until it's time to head to the airport.

[TEAMJACOB]

Leave in days. All packed. Solo trip to Wilderness Lodge. Going to be a hot one.

 

[TexIrish]

Why do I torture myself by looking at weather forecasts? I was looking at weather for the dates we are supposed to be there and 50% rain everyday. I know it's Orlando, and rain is expected, but I am hoping for at least a few sunny days out of the 7 we are there.

 

[TEAMJACOB]

Will be in the air in 8 hours. Going to be . Will need

3 days!

Staying at Riverside in a Royal room. I’m so excited! I’ve wanted to stay there ever since they first announced them years ago, but they were always so expensive. This time, they were some of the cheapest rooms for my date.

This was a completely last minute trip. A friend had never flown before and wanted to, so we opened the SW low fare calendar and Orlando was one of the cheapest options. I suggested a weekend stay at a Disney resort. I had no plans to actually do the parks except AK possibly, just relax at the resort. Then I found out my friend has never been anywhere but the local zoo and was actually interested in the parks. I thought she wasn’t, so now we are doing all 4 parks! I don’t see her ever having an opportunity to come back, so I want her to have the full experience. I’m hoping everything goes well. They’ve got rain forecasted for our AK / MK day, so I’m hoping that clears out. Still can’t wait!
