Just in case anyone was interested, I created a companion fb page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/835794186542185/. I just got back from WDW a week ago and I cannot believe I'm already starting to plan another trip?! I think I enjoy the planning almost as much as the actual trip!!

Amy I just sent a request to join your may 2016 trip we are going for our second trip May 13th thru May 17th.

20 Days till our 2nd trip to WDW, this is our first time going in May.

The two week count down has officially started: Friday night, 5.6, I hop on the red eye from the left coast and then the real fun starts bright and early Saturday! My new purple Magic Band came a couple weeks ago, clothes shopping is almost done, mani/pedi, hair cut/color and self tanning all in progress. WDW here I come!

Late to the thread, but we are going May 4-6. Two days at MK and one at AK. Celebrating our daughter's 4th birthday and our son's 7th birthday. It will also be our daughter's first time at any of the parks. We are super excited! Staying at AOA (Little Mermaid) which will be a first for all of us. I thought for sure that due to our late planning (early March), we wouldn't get much in the way of ADRs or FPs but I've been lucky (and very happy!):

BOG Dinner
BOG pre-park open breakfast (just scored this tonight thanks to Touring Plans)
CM breakfast

7DMT x 2
Peter Pan
A&E
Belle
Cindy & Rapunzel
Space Mountain
BTMRR
Kilimanjaro
Lion King

And technically, we have a FP for Everest, but my daughter isn't tall enough so I thought I'd find something else for her and I to do, but so far, nothing that is remaining looks that appealing. Hoping ROL will be running and we can make some changes. I'd love to do a night-time safari!

Still hoping to snag reservations at CRT and an appointment at Bibbidi Bobbid

If you haven't snagged CRT already, check everyday several times a day and check by selecting breakfast, lunch, dinner if anything is available times will pop up. I was able to first book CRT for a 11:00 PM dinner and just yesterday a 1:30 res was available for our last day. We are going May 13th thru May 17th and we booked our trip late also and go in to most of the popular restaurants we wanted to. Good luck and have a great trip.

Amy I just sent a request to join your may 2016 trip we are going for our second trip May 13th thru May 17th.

I requested as well! Looking forward to this group!


Got my tickets from UT & linked them up today! The only FP I could not get is 7DMT, but hopefully my touring plan will be right and we can get it early without a FP. That's my only hope. Lol

Was planning on doing waterparks this time, but in light of the ongoing issues as blizzard beach, coupled with tickets at work not currently offering a 5 day Wp+ option, I went with base tickets only at UT, and saved $100 from what I was intending on spending on the TAW passes. It'll be fine, our condo has a great pool & slide, my kids won't care.

I also ordered a couple skins for my boys magic bands, hoping those come really soon

 

[Annadesu]

We got our magic bands and luggage tags! 3 weeks to go... And after the work day I just had, let me tell you, it can not come soon enough

 

[sarahrdh]

As an off site guest, will I have to pay to park at the contemporary for our chef Mickey's ressie??

 

[dvcdream4fld]

Less than 14 days

 

[Kerpgh]

1 week from today we will be in the World!!! I have packing anxiety..so most likely will be packing Friday night ...flight leaves at 6:25am next Saturday! So excited..but dreading the rest of the week!

 

[momof2buffalo]

Got Magic bands today! We have a chain link countdown going - 28 more days!! We desperately need a vacation in our flu infested house

As an off site guest, will I have to pay to park at the contemporary for our chef Mickey's ressie??

No, you get a window (3 hours I think?) to park for free with an ADR.

 

[Dansr731]

25 days!!

That should be enough time to eat & hop on the monorail
