The Official May 2015 Thread!!

May 7,2015 will be mine and dhs 10th wedding anniversary, we were going to do a grown ups only trip to boston, but have just decided to take the kids to wdw! we're planning 5/6-5/13, as of right now were thinking of staying at pop century, but may upgrade to caribbean beach depending on the promotions theyre offering at the time. we were only at wdw once, in sept 2010, that was our sons make a wish trip, so this will be the first time we're planning everything and our first time staying on property. we decided to not tell the kids we're going until the day before we go, it wont be easy keeping such a fun secret, but their reaction will be worth it! I am one to do a ton of research, and plan each day in advance based on crowd numbers, and make advance dinner reservations, know the character meet and greet schedules, show and parade times, etc, then when we get there we have an idea of what we're doing. I use to follow wdw info closely, but havent lately since we werent planning to go back soon. cadbury mentioned free dining in may? I didnt know see anywhere that they were offering it this may (since Im just startinf researching for this trip maybe I missed it, can anyone tell me what the conditions were for it for this may?), free dining would rock, we would definitely stay at caribbeam beach then! my kids will be 6 1/2years, and 11years. my oldest is disabled, last time we went he had a green light pass, and with all the changes to the guest assistance card program, I think I have a lot of research ahead of me :)

Congratulations on your anniversary!!:cool1: It would be awesome if there was free dining in May next year! I my upgrade myself! I'll get you added to our list!

Planning our first family trip for May 1-9 2015! We're a family of 4 & the kids will be 5 & 6 at the time of the trip. Just bought our tickets at the old rate on Undercover Tourist this morning, I'm thinking there will be another increase before May '15 in addition to the one over the weekend so I'm glad we saved a bit there.

Here's my plan for booking everything else- any advice, suggestions, critiques
It's still a bit away, but now that we bought tickets it's getting exciting!

We haven't even bought tickets and I'm like a big 2 year old running around excited for next year! Congrats on your 1st family trip - you will love it! I'm a Disney addict now!

Meal plans are super easy if that is something you are planning for. Also, take advantage of the Fast Pass and Photopass (may be called Memory Maker now) options. I love our pictures from the parks! Have fun planning - it keeps me happy anyway!
 
Ironically I was thinking about May 2015! I love going to WDW in May. We'll probably go from May 17- May 31st. Probably at Wilderness Lodge.

:cool1: Another dance partner! I love going in May. It's not too hot and not too crowded. The Wilderness Lodge is beautiful! Maybe one day we can stay there. We always go there to eat supper one night. I love it! I'll get you added too!:goodvibes

Don't I remember you from our May 2013 Happy dance?
 

I think our dates moved a little, now looking at the week of the 9th...hoping to get to the first star wars weekend. Will also be celebrating my b-day, my aunts b-day, and my friends daughters b-day! :cool1:

I did buy my tickets already, but only because ebates had the 20% orbitz deal on a 3 day +2 day free ticket. I ended up buying tix for my oct trip and another set. Was too good to pass up lol
 
Hello, everyone.

I am hoping to book for May 2015. I'm thinking May 23rd to the 30th. The kids are already off from school for a few days and it will be our 15 wedding anniversary. There is no better place to celebrate, right?

I have never been there in May, so I don't know what to expect. Especially, Memorial Day weekend. We went last year in August and the heat about killed my dh and kids. ;) I'm not as concerned about the weather as I am the crowds.

I'd love to stay at CBR again or try another moderate. But the family ADORES ASSports. So, that's up in the air.

I can't wait to plan it!

Welcome aboard!! We've never been on Memorial Day Weekend. We leave right before, but the crowds then are not bad. Star Wars Weekends can get crowded. Congrats on your 15 yr anniversary! We celebrated ours there last year! Be sure and let them know so you can get your anniversary pin! I'll get you added to the dance party!
 
Oooo I've been waiting for this thread! :good vibes

We're heading back from May 8th - May 23rd staying at AoA resort...soooo excited already!

Starting to book things next month, as we can get the hotel sorted and tickets hopefully pixiedust:
 
This will be our first trip to WDW and Florida. We'll be coming from Oregon and are wondering what the weather is like around May 21st to 28th. Someone said it was the beginning of the rainy season?

:beach:

Wow! I'm just a little jealous! I would LOVE to stay there that long! My son would be ready to go by then. He's more of a hunting, fishing guy. Welcome to the dance party! I will get you added!

There usually is a short shower or two. My advice is to buy rain ponchos and carry them in your backpack or whatever you carry to the park. We buy a bunch from Dollar Tree to carry down there. If it rains, whip one of those out and keep enjoying the parks. When it stops, you can chunk the poncho or carry a ziplock bag and fold it back up it in it. If it rains, some people go home, so it generally clears out a bit. I think I have only been through 2 major rainstorms when we were down there on our 3 different trips. If it was a bad shower, we just waited it out in a show or shop.

We're UK based, so when we travel to WDW we like to stay longer due to the jet lag and time differences :) We're very lucky though!

We do the other parks too whilst there. Won't be heading to Busch Gardens this time though, my LO is only going to be just 3 when we arrive and BG will be of no interest to her with nothing much for her to do. I think this time we'll be mostly Disney based

I've never been to any other parks while we were down there. I hope y'all have a great trip!
 
Am I reading correctly that some of you already booked? How is that possible then they have not released the dates yet?Anyone have any clue when they will release 2015 dates?

We are planning on May 28-June 2. Possibly saying at All Stars movies. It will be myself, DH, DS-5 and DS-7. This will be their 3rd trip!

Well, I 'll join...right now we are saying September. But Originally we were hoping for May 2015 but moved it to September for financial reasons. I'm really trying to make it work to go in May 2015! I love May! Eventually we plan to own DVC and we'll always go in May then:goodvibes

We booked our room only, because we needed special disabled amenities and were advised to do so early. We can add our package when those appear later. Maybe it was early, but since we are not experienced with WDW we wanted to make sure of availability.

We are planning to stay at AoA May 21st - 28th.

:ccat:
 
My husband thinks I've totally lost my mind. I have some new olay makeup removing wipes that remind me of the smell of the Grand Floridian. I told him about them and he said, "No one thinks simple smells like that remind them of Disney.":scared1: Do you have something that the smell reminds you of Disney?
 
i AM SO0OOOO GLAD I FOUND THIS THREAD, I STARTED PLANNING MY MAY 2015 VACATION. I AM GOING MAY 2- 9 STAYING AT ART OF ANIMATION LITTLE MERMAID ROOM AND I HAVE ALREADY BOOKED MY ROOM. IT WILL BE MYSELF AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS!!!! DO YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE AS WELL FOR MAY 2015?
