We are! We are!!

This will be our first P&PP. I just asked DH this morning if he'd like to go if they add them in May and he was really enthusiastic about it! Yeah!!

 

[sconnell]

It's our first too! DH & I will be in town for a conference and we're sneaking over for the party! lol. It's the only time we could go to WDW, so I was SO hoping for it!
Do you have ADR's anywhere yet? We'll be at LTT at 5:30.

DD9 and I are going on a "girls only" trip Mother's Day weekend. We are going to do P&P on 5/9- I am excited!! This trip is going to be a surprise for DD, and it will be extra-special to be able to go to the party.

awe! how fun! my DD is a Katie too! lol. She's always asking when we're going to do a mom/daughter trip! We saw somebody in the park one time and she just loved the idea!

 

[MomofKatie]

Your Katie is a cutie! Since mine is an only child, it is really easy to do a "girls only" trip (DH is not a big Disney lover, so he doesn't mind us going without him every once in a while). We did our first one in January of '07 and loved it! We get to do all the things that DH doesn't like- get autographs and pics of the characters, watch the WS street performers, see the parades, etc.

We have just 1 day left on our 10 day MYW tickets, so I figured a short trip would be great. We will treat the party as our MK day, then do Epcot and maybe a few hours of AK on our 1 park day. I am also planning on Typhoon Lagoon on our departure day. It is going to be a very "commando" trip!!

Hope to see you at the party- are y'all going to dress up? I am going to bring DD's Elizabeth Swann costume that she wore at MNSSHP last fall, and I will probably wear a Pirates T and maybe a bandana to look "pirate-y".

My DH loves WDW, but not all of the stuff you mentioned! lol. One day, DD & I will look at all of the shops and take tons of pics! lol.

I am going to wear an I love Pirates T and a tiara! lol. I'm still working on DH! lol. (kids aren't going)

Jen this trip is a Mom and Son Mother's day trip too! We are doing the P&PP on the 9th. We are doing the Mother's day brunch too. It's a little expensive but absolutely wonderful! Are you doing the brunch?

I'm going to wait to see how warm it is in May to decide if my son will dress up. For the Halloween party he was a pirate. He wore a gauze pirate shirt jean shorts the pirate hat he bought for the last P&PP and 2 swords we bought at disney around his waist. He looked so cool. Just not sure if it will be too hot for the shirt. If it is I guess he will wear his Jack Sparrow t-shirt with all the other stuff!

 

[StrwLady]

The big one on the left is the hubby/dad...we are leaving him (also known as Grumpy) home this trip

 

[seobaina]

YAY, we're going! My best friend and I - girls only trip. This is our first P&PP too and I'm so excited!

 

[WDWFRV]

Yes! may the 9th it is for me my sister and nephew and niece, YOUPPI!!!

 

[Marshay]

My DH may dress up but I don't have a pirate outfit -- yet! I like the idea of a Disney pirate shirt and a tiarra!

Now to find a lime green pirate shirt!

We don't have any ADRs for dinner that day since we're doing Play and Dine for lunch...guess we'll just do CS at MK or at our resort.

First post! I just booked our trip this week (May 7-13) and I'm so excited that we will get to go to the PPP too!!! It's just me and my 4yo son going on the trip. I might be slightly insane but we are SO excited! (I don't know how some of you can keep it a secret from the kids, lol.) Now what is this Mother's Day brunch? I'd love to do that too!

Welcome to the Dis. The Mother's day brunch is held on Mother's day only at the World Showcase pavilion. The decorations are beautiful and the food is to die for! It is a bit pricey. $50 for adults and $20 for kids. But its a wonderful experience. If you decide to do it GO HUNGRY!!! Make sure you make reservations for it. I'm pretty sure it books up.

As for being insane doing your duo trip...you won't be. Just take things slow and go with the flow. My son and I went on our first duo trip when he was 3. We have done several trips since then. It gives us a good mom/son bonding time and gives hubby/dad a little alone time!

Oh if you are looking for some "me" time when you are there you might consider looking into one of the kids clubs. I'm pretty sure they start taking kids at 4 years old. On our duo trips I will leave my son in the Sandcastle club (at the beach club) and go to epcot for an hour or so. I love going through the stores in the World Show case. It cost $11 an hour and they feed them. They have play areas, craft area, video games, movies and more. They open at 4:30pm. They give you a pager so if they need to get in touch with you they can. There are a few other clubs too. The Neverland Club at the Poly is the most popular. It's Peter Pan themed. But its normally one of the more crowded ones. So you most likely would need reservations for that one. One thing I like about the Sand Castle club is I can drop him off and be back with very little travel time. As far as being concerned about leaving your child...I'm very protective of my son (some might even call me overprotective ) I have never had any issues with leaving him in one of the Disney Kid Clubs.

We are going the same time as you. Well close. May 7th to 12th. Maybe we will run into each other at the P&PP

Take care
Jamie

We'll be there May 9th! There will be myself, hubby, our twin boys who turn 6tomorrow, our baby girl who is 2 (ok, so I have to adjust that she isn't a baby anymore), and our babysitter/close family friend who will be 18. Our trip dates are May 8-17. We get in late the 8th from the west coast so we were using the 9th to rest and enjoy our resort pool. The fact that there is a party on the 9th is just the whipped cream and cherry for us! We get a head start on our week after a well rested day! We went to the party last year in Feb. We LOVED it! I am SO excited!!! I am trying to decide on costumes. One boy wants to go all out, the other one wants only to wear a pirate t-shirt. The girlie, OF COURSE, wants to wear a princess costume. Are any of you adults going to wear costumes? I like the pirate shirt/tiarra idea!

 

[sconnell]

Yeah! I'm so glad more people have joined the thread and that you guys like my pirate shirt and tiara idea! I'm a bit pirate and bit princess. lol. Or maybe I'm a princess who just loves pirates!?!

We won't be doing the brunch, though it sounds like a great time. This is a real budget/cheapie trip, so we are not planning on eating any TS (I actually feel weird not making any ADRs! ). We will be sharing a raft on Crush 'n Gusher on Mother's Day instead- then driving back to Charlotte in the afternoon. A real different Mother's Day for me, lol!!
