***The Official May 2017 Thread***

Our trip is from May 21-26. What do yall think the chances of Pandora opening early are?
Well, I know that they are holding special previews for some of the DVC members and annual passholders through May 22nd. And there is a special press event or two or three sometime around mid week. So my guess would be if they were going to open early it would be near the end of the week and they wouldn't announce it, they would just do it. But of course that is just a guess. ;)
 
Its getting so close! 8 days to picking my BOG Lunch (This is a first for me!)
We've had our Magic Bands (I got mine before they announced 2.0, but I don't mind at all. Cinderella and Marie win for me!)
I'll be in the 20s by the end of the week!

I agree with the PP...AP/DVC previews are the 13th-22nd and then the media event is the 23-25 which then leaves 1 day open till the officially opening. My guess would be the 26th is a "freshen" up make it all look perfect day before the grand opening.

So the media event is May 23-25th? I thought it was just on the 24th. I planned an AK day for the 25th hoping I was avoiding all the press stuff.
 
So exciting! About how far out do they come? I have one last payment to make before I'm done. Perhaps that has something to do with when it arrives?
The Magical Express luggage tags will be shipped to you usually at least two weeks before trip date, sometimes much sooner. It doesn't matter whether or not you are paid in full. They mail them in time for your trip even if you have a balance due. :)

It was posted in the Pandora thread its all 3 days. Im guessing outside of that land it won't be too much different than normal crowds.
 
Just got my Magical Express Info...seems they sent it out the day BEFORE I updated the flights...we're not using the luggage tags for the way down, but should I call to make sure?
Who knows...
Just happy I got a piece of Disney mail 33 days out!

We changed our arrival flight for our March trip. We took a flight that landed about an hour earlier than the flight we originally had when we made our Magical Express reservations. We never called to update our flight, since we weren't changing our resort or our travel day. We had no problems when we landed. We got right on the Magical Express and they didn't question our earlier arrival time.

That's so interesting...I did call earlier in the week to change it, but turns out they have that information I edited with Disney. Just a minor alarm :oops:.
Super happy the Magical Express tags are here! But...didn't they used to be a booklet?

They haven't been sending booklets lately. They only send a letter with the information.

We are still waiting for our luggage tags.

That's what I thought! I know we got booklets for our August trip...but this one was a letter. I think our luggage tags came with the magic bands, but since we bought character ones we won't be getting those.
 
Joining this thread now that it's confirmed! Last minute trip for May 13-20th :love: It'll be myself, my three year old daughter, and my mom. We'll be in MK for Mother's Day!! So excited, but also a little stressed since we just booked today - we're usually not planning trips more than a year in advance or anything, but I typically have more than a month!
 
38 days till our Mommy Daughter college graduation trip, but who's counting! One more payment Friday!

We are doing the same thing! DD and I went to Disney when she graduated with her Bachelor's degree. Two years later and now she's graduating with her Master's degree.princess: We are leaving the day after graduating and will be at POR 5/13-5/28. Can't wait!:banana:
