I am so with you on 2,4,5,8,10!
And we have joined you in the sick house department. DH is battling the Flu.I think we all need some pixie dust to get everyone well again. Tis the season I suppose.
! I can't believe I just lucked into this week because it had comparable prices to what I was looking at for August. Mother's Day, Flower and Garden, and SWW all in one week! I assume if you are going the same week?Sorry DH is sick, hopefully he is starting to feel better. Glad you like my Must Do's. Hopefully I can get them done.[/COLOR]
Hi and thanks for commenting. Yay for May trips
.
. I usually get online with something in connection to Disney, whether its the Dis or Lines. Today I didn't, I was busy with the boys all morning and so when I got an email at 11 from my TA, I was confused. Discounts, today? I wasn't expecting them out until next week and I though a Disney Visa offer would come out first. I hadn't even told my TA about wanting to switch from my Value/Deluxe split stay to a moderate stay. Needless to say, I was in full on panic mode. Of course, it didn't help that I couldn't even get online to see the potential prices with the discounts. I called my TA and she was already on hold and would get back to me with new prices for POR and CBR. In the meantime, I was still on MDE trying to get prices. When my TA called back POR was sold out except royal rooms. I definitely did not want a royal room because I am really hoping to get a room with a Murphy bed. At least this made my decision easy. We re-booked at CBR and I am really excited to stay here but I would be pretty disappointed if we do not get a refurbed room. The double beds is the reason we are switching from value to moderate so I hope this all works out.
. I can't wait to wear it down in WDW and maybe I can convice DH to get me the matching wallet for my birthday next month 
. 
Plans look good!
I think you'll be fine with Sci-Fi. Personally, I like Sci-Fi and have had good experiences there in the past. But despite that fact, we booked H&V this past trip for breakfast. And H&V was a place we swore we would never go back to after our last dinner there. It turned out fine. My theory, is that of all the meals, breakfast is the hardest one to screw up.
Congratulations on getting CBR. Your trip plans really have changed to get to this point, but I'm glad things are working out for you so far. Hopefully you'll get a refurbed room.
. Also, I am anxiously awaiting your next TR update 
. Thanks! Dang Disney throwing us spring trippers a curve ball.
LOL, TAs are the best, mine was on the phone all day. I did some digging on the refurbs and was so happy to see only preferred are left, phew.I too was caught off guard by the discounts. And man was MDE a PAIN yesterday!!!!!
If you booked a standard room then you have nothing to worry about. Its been reported that only the prefered rooms were left.
Love the bag its very cute!
to find out that I changed my mind again 
. I refigured my budget and realized I could spend an extra $300 dollars somewhere. I considered upgrading my room to a preferred room but without knowing if I will get a refurbed room, I nixed the idea. I decided to look at our flights. We were supposed to fly out at 6am May 10 and fly into Tampa, get a rental and make the hour drive to Orlando. Two reasons this is not ideal 1) getting up at the crack of dawn for the flight 2.) the drive to Tampa. Niether of these things bothered me when it was that or driving 20 hours but its still not ideal. I looked into flights straight to Orlando and it was $300 more. But it honestly wasn't getting me more time at Disney and I still had a 6 am flight so, it wasn't worth it. Out of curiosity, I checked May 9 flights and everything looked perfect. I talked it over with DH and he jumped right on board. So our plans now are:
!! Other perks include:
I am to get to spend all of Mother's day at Disney and not have to spend some if it traveling.
Such a good idea! An airport is probably the last place I would want to be on mother's day!
. I have to make FP+ reservations in just four weeks. The method I used last time to determine the FPs I wanted was to make a touring plan each day and pick the rides with the three highest predicted wait times. And then try and get FPs for those. This will be my general plan for this trip as well. I loved the touring plans last time and we got so much done with them but, I always felt like we needed to go, go , go. This time around I will make the touring plans but, use them more as an outline for the order we would like to ride and not a strict schedule where I need to be to ride A at 9:07 am. Making touring plans takes time and a little patience so I am giving myself 4 weeks to get everything sorted out. I am going to put a rough outline here so I can keep all my thoughts together for one cohesive day as the touring plans will only cover the parks. I have also decided to add park hoppers. I really think this will help with what I have planned and luckily I was able to move around my ADRs no problem to accommodate.
.. I just look at it as good practice for our WDW trip.
That's exactly how I plan our park days as well. I always try to prioritize the FP+/higher wait rides to make sure we get them at optimal times, but then just kind of go with the flow on the fast loading rides that don't have long lines.
Having just traveled with 2 kids and all matters of bags, carseats, etc... I'd let Disney handle the bags!
Yes I did try the three free approach and it didn't work. So then I tried for a spring 2015 trip and at last he is not on board. It's hard to change my husbands mind once he has made a decision. So it's December 2015 for our next trip. You must do list is fun. I have had the lapu, lapu at Ohanas it was good.Thanks for the information. I spent a lot of time perusing the resorts boards. I still don't know
Hi!Thanks for stopping by. Have you tried the free under three thing. My husband said no until I showed him much better it would be to have two for free. Of course, he still thinks this is a budget trip

Yet somehow we still rush around. Want to cram everything we can into our limited time!

I'd never used DME, nor had I considered your plan to be an option, but I think that is a great idea.
. The split ME and car is something I though of and have confirmed with my TA that it is allowed. At first I was going to get a car and there wouldn't be enough room for all our luggage and I thought of this but the difference between and full size and a van is so miniscule that I think we might all go in the van. Yay thanks for joining. Hopefully I can give you some ideas for your next trip. I am loving planning for May, I think it will be a really good time to go.
Oh no sorry. At least your next trip isn't too far
. Thanks, I am looking forward to trying some new things and I like having goals. I think I have definitely decided to go with the Lapu Lapu, yum
