Morning all of you May Disers! For those of you who have been or will be affected by Hurricane Issac, I hope that you are all safe and sound!

Here in North Louisiana, we have a lot of wind gusts and rain but, so far, nothing as terrible as what the southern portion of our State (and Mississippi, Alabama and Florida) has received. There are quite a few trees blown down, including one on my sister's deck and in my neighbor's yard, and power is out here and there. The local government buildings and schools have shut down for the day but, of course, I'm one of those who had to come into work.

I'm trying to keep my mind off the bad weather by thinking about our May trip to Walt Disney World!

May 2013 cant come fast enough!

We are staying at the little mermaid rooms at AoA May 13-May 20. Celebrating our twins 4th birthday! This is our first trip (both hubby and I have done days in the park as kids) Having lots of fun planning! Currently we for ADR's we are thinking Cinderellas Table (have a 4 year old princess who MUST go to this).
Other then that still figuring out what ADR's we are going to want to book.

Happy Planning! My family and I enjoyed Donald's Safari Breakfast in the Animal Kingdom; the food is good and plentiful!

I guess I can officially be added to the "unofficial" May 2013 planners! I just changed my reservations from September 2013 to May. We will go Memorial Day week. My daughter's school is getting more strict about unexcused absences and I will respect their policy. So we changed our vacation dates. Right now we are at AoA (Little Mermaid) but if there is a decent discount we will stay at POR or POFQ. Is there somewhere I can plug in our dates to see when we can start making ADR's?

Our stay begins May 22 so we can start ADRs on November 23.

So just adjust for your stay.

Cheers! We're celebrating our girls' first time right between their birthdays. One will turn 5 and the other will be a few weeks away from turning 4. I don't make our ADRs until November 5th, but I'm also planning CRT.

Also, PP mentioned Tusker House. We're planning on doing breakfast there, and also Crystal Palace for character meals. For our other ADRs I've decided on San Angel Inn (MIL loves Mexican food and others here on the boards have said kids like the atmosphere) Rainforest Cafe at DTD (atmosphere) and Cape May Buffett (this is the only one where I didn't really think about the kids. DH is a HUGE seafood eater. This was mentioned in one of our Disney planning DVDs and he said he didn't care what other restaurants we ate at, but this one had to be on the list. So, it is )

When I booked my trip, the CM let me know the date (after I had literally counted 180 days, what can I say Im excited ) and when I sign into my reservations on the Disney site, it has a little reminder telling me the date to make dining reservations! Disney thinks of everything!
Can't wait for our trips

I believe they do. Will be our first time staying there.

Not sure if they can duplicate the Cafe du Monde experience though.

No joke. I've only been once though..

Just booked our trip for May 11-18, 2013 at POR! Can't wait!

We are making reservations this week for May 4th - May 11th! We are staying at POP. Please add me to your list. I will let you know of ADR when we finalize them. Be nice to see if anyone has reservations the same time! THANKS!!!!

 

[Disneylvr]

I found the ADR countdown on the Disney website and it looks like I can make my first one on November 26th. Be Our Guest, T-Rex and Tusker House are on our list so far as possibilities.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Hey All! Did any of you apply for the Disney Moms Panel this morning? I did....hoping the fourth time will be the charm for me.
