<<<60 days. Did my online check in this morning and fast pass selection for most of my days. Still stuck on Wednesday though. Not sure which park we will be going to.

67 days!! I have to figure out our fastpasses, but I'm pretty sure I know what we want.

67 days to go...can't wait for the magic to start!

Excited for our upcoming trip. But, somewhat frustrated about the lack of information regarding ROL dining packages/FP+ and extended AK hours. Also disappointed that the new Frozen ride at Epcot likely won't be open yet. Those two unknowns haven't been helpful in our planning.

Count me in! 55 days! I'm very excited to finally be returning with my parents. I've been able to go the past 3 years, but we haven't gone as a family since 2009.

Just booked our first trip ever to Disney World. May 12th - 15th....very excited and overwhelmed. We have a lot to learn...starting with fast passes...

Just booked a family trip for May 4th - 7th. Was planning on staying off property but got an email last night that had the annual pass discount at all star sports cheaper so we are staying there this trip.

I share your frustration. I have 3 short days in the parks (with a hopper) so I need to plan my time carefully. Not knowing anything about AK extended hours, ROL fast pass and whether or not there will be Star Wars fireworks at the Studios is making my planning difficult.

I spoke with a CM last Friday who told me the current Star Wars fireworks is ending on April 30th and then a new SW fireworks show starts later in June. I have no idea if that's fact or rumor but I gave up on those fireworks for our planning purposes.

That is what I was afraid of. I know at this point still a rumor but it sounds logical.

Hello fellow May travelers! Me and my youngest will be at POP from 5/4-5/9 celebrating her HS graduation. Our plans came together pretty quickly, but have been pleasantly surprised with ADR and FP availability. Keeping my fingers crossed for great weather and decent crowd levels!

 

[jollygreen]

Made fastpasses the other day for my May 13th day! Couldn't make any for May 10th since it's before we check-in to a Disney hotel, but that's okay! Now I'm just waiting for ROL stuff to be released and hopefully I'll be able to get a FP or dining package for it!

Finally bought the return tickets back home. So we now have tickets both ways

I was hoping id find something here about AK extended hours for ROL, but looks like we all have the same frustration.... At this point, I'm going to set my fast passes for mid afternoon and arrive to the park around lunchtime. Hours would have to be extended for ROL, but I'm wondering if other attractions may close early if they affect the animals? I know the safari is going to have a nighttime drive, I would think if that's ok, everything else is too.....either way, I need some details!

I did read that the trails would still close at dusk, so not sure what other "animal" attractions may remain open outside the safari? But sounds like most of the rides will still be operating.

Got all my fastpasses last night! Looking into online check in, now... not sure if I want to do it, or not.

 

[lovegrumpy]

Called today to add magical express to my reservation.

 

[GabBeFit]

So excited! We booked our 4 year anniversary trip for the end of May! Super curious about what the hours at Animal kingdom will be! On the Monday we are there (May 23rd) MK is opened untill midnight... so normally wed park hop from Animal kingdom to Magic kingdom at night... but not sure how that will work this year. CANT WAIT!

 

[Annadesu]

I booked a fastpass to ride Tower of Terror at night. I know this isn't what most people would do, but hey. XD I got all the other fastpasses I wanted and had one to spare.
