Once Again,The Never To Early May 2006 Thread

[xterratri]

We went late April- early may 2004 and late May- early June 2005. Had planned(and have it booked) on going May 18-26, 2006 with 3 nights at VWL and 5 nights at OKW but...my school is talking about changing our schedule from having from 5/12-6/12 off and then bringing us back 6/12-6/30 to just keeping us until 6/2. As much as it messes with my Disney plans, academically it's the right thing to do.

So we'll probably only be there May 5-7 at ASSports preferred(unless a good rate comes out for AKL cuz it's my B-Day) for the Minnie Marathon Weekend and then May 18-22 at VWL for the FL Half Ironman race. The Half Ironman is capped at about 2000 entries so it shouldn't affect crowd levels the way the January Marathon weekend can(yes, I'm doing that one too). I currently hold ressies for Sunday night(May 21) at both VWL and OKW so when the school gives us an answer, hopefully later this month, I may help out someone's waitlist. Yes, I am planning on skipping at least 2 days of school to do a half ironman. I'm a bad, bad influence.

Can't wait, we always go to WDW in May. The crowds are manageable, the weather is beautiful, and the flower and garden festival is my favorite time to be at Epcot. I also can't wait to ride EE at AK!!!

We are going the week of May 20

Sign DH and myself up for the May Parade. We arrive April 30th and leave May 9th. First stay at the Poly and can't wait. I made all our dining plans today and we will be on the Premium package so am looking forward to doing many different things this time.

We will be camping at Fort Wilderness from May 7th - May 15th. We have a 3 year old son and it is the 1st time ever to WDW for ALL of us!

I had not planned on going until my DD contacted me Thurs about the Minnie Marathon being held May 5-7. She wants us to go and participate and I am seriously considering it. If we do, I'll post later.

Does anyone know how the BRP program works for May? From what I have seen it looks like it goes through April.

 

[crazy4wdw]

I'll be at the Beach Club, May 14 - 21, '06!

 

[magicmommy]

DH and I will be at BWV to celebrate our 20th anniversary from 5/13/06 to 5/21/06.

We have only ever gone in September and I really don't wanna wait till then to go back. My DH loves the lack of crowds in Sept. Is May considered value season?? How is the weather and crowds in May. My DH loves Star Wars so I hope i can get him to go in May if SWW are going on? Are SWW always in May? Do you need special admission for it?

Sorry for all the questions.

 

[Mommy Poppins]

SWW are held at MGM (Disney Studios) and is included with your park admission. They are held (I think) the weekend in May and early June--but not sure of the exact dates.

We will be there April 21 - May 6, staying all over the place--Shades of Green, Nick Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, Beach Club and the Contemporary Tower!

 

[Luv4Disney]

Haven't made ressies yet (I'm worrying about our Jan. trip right now), but we always go for 11 days. It's fabulous! Our favorite time of year to go! We always leave after my last final exam. Can't wait for the May 06 trip!

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Still not sure of where we will be staying yet. Hoping for a split stay at AKL and Swan.

 

[kjm4]

We'll be there from April 29 to May 6. The crowds are great and the weather is usually very nice. We always go a few weeks after Easter and the crowds are non existant.

 

[SuprMedk31]

Ok..Last time I was there was 1993...so you might as well say I'm a newbie. Need lots of help...any suggestions are appreciated. I'm going most likely in the last week of April..spilling into the first week of May. (2) adults...that's as far as I've gotten!

 

[TDS373X]

May 10 thru 21 for us ( myself 41; dd 6 and dm 67) can't wait...that's why we're going in Dec too!!!

We will be enjoying our very first ever DVC trip in May. We will be staying four nights at BWV, two at Universal, and then back to our home resort of SSR for another four nights. There will be 11 of us on this trip, and we're all looking forward to it. Arriving May 22 and coming home June 1.
