SO If history repeats itself and there is another 24 hour event next year then I am definately going! My mom will join us that weekend to stay with the DS in the wee hours! I am going to book May 21- May 30th but if there is no 24 hour event I will push it back to the weekend after memorial day. I will be booking pop for this trip.

We've gone the 2nd week of May for two years in a row now. Weather has been great! In the high 80's with very little rain. Crowds have been moderate. Lots of people in the parks but ride wait times are manageable. And there's Star Wars Weekends.

Going the 3rd week of May next year instead because we want to attend the 24-hour party at the Magic Kingdom the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend.

As much as I wanted to go next May, we have to push it to August 2015. Back to the heat and the crowds! We actually had a great time last August so it'll all work out. We were just never there in May before and it would have been nice.

You all have less than a year to go! I'm excited for you all.

Wow Kevin!

That’s a detailed plan for so far out – well done! I’m nowhere near that stage yet...I only just know where I want to eat, never mind on which days

Same here! I need park hours / extra magic hours before I can pick restaurants.

Hoping for a BOG dinner --- haven't been able to snag one yet during our previous trips.

***EDITED*** (don't think you saw my second resort change yet, so I'm changing it a third time by editing my request before you saw it. LOL). Can you please change my resort to The Wilderness Lodge?? Thank you!!!

 

[hsmamainva]

I can't decide between sticking with the Nemo suite at AOA or going for 2 rooms at Pop!

We stayed in Nemo last month and the room was adorable! We asked for lake view and it was a hike from the parking lot -- so I wouldn't do that again -- but had plenty of room in the suite. BUT paid nearly $300 a night for the suite. I can get two rooms at Pop for around $200 a night.

I've heard great things about the food court at Pop -- didn't like the one at AOA...at least not for dinner. We only ate dinner there once and that was enough.

Love the themes at both resorts. I've changed my mind about 10 times in the past week!

If anyone has any thoughts .. chime in please!
