Who's in for May 2013 code watch?

[Ryantitr]

I just booked our airfare for the end of May, beginning of June with United. They were unusually cheap for some reason. Unsually they're one of the more expensive carriers, but for our family of 4 from Chicago, it was only $1200 total. Last year around the same time, airfare was about $2200 for the 4 of us on United. You might want to check them out. They would not have been my first choice due to the fact that normally they're more expensive.

Thanks for the heads up. We were going to drive but because of your note I checked out united flights out of Buffalo for our trip and for the four of us the flights are only $1,080 total after taxes and fees.

Planning a trip in early May as a present to myself for graduation! Its been a long 4 years - graduation is May 4th and we (myself, my daughter and my granddaughter) leave on May 7th!!!!! Really hoping for a discount too!

Looks like we are now spring travelers...used to always do Fall. The Fall has gotten too busy with cheer competitions and DHs job, so now watching for May or early June discounts. It's a bummer b/c I so LOVE MNSSHP

Nice!! I would totally grab that!!!
With price of gas..... time to drive.... posibly having to stop at hotel halfway.... (we just can't handle a 16 hour drive! )
That is a pretty good price!

the cost out of Cleveland is still holding at $343.... too high.... hoping it drops soon.

Jumping on the bandwagon! Planning on a trip for either the end of April or beginning of May! This will be our first time going in the spring! We usually go the end of summer or Oct. So don't know how it is in WDW in the Spring!

 

[bentopher]

Does anyone know which weekends in May are going to be the Star Wars weekends for 2013. Is it only the 2 weekends?
May 17, 18, 19 and May 24, 25, 26 ?

I'm so excited for you guys! I wish you could plan it for a little later in May so we could finally meet.

I know Lisa, thanks!!! I'm so excited!!! This is such an unexpected trip!!!! Would have loved to be able to meet you. But I know the later in May, the hotter it is down there. And with two little ones & a husband who hates the heat, we are trying to avoid going when it is too hot! We haven't actually booked the trip yet though. We won't be doing that till about the end of November, beginning of December. However, I am planning away!! Looking forward to making our ADRs as soon as I can!!! Can't wait to to some of the new Fantasyland Expansion! We haven't been since our Honeymoon in Oct. 2008, so we (well me mostly) are going through Disney World Withdrawal!! The actual dates we are probably going are April 30 - May 5! Celebrating all our Birthdays!!! More so mine & DHs! (Mine is 5/18, DH is 4/29, the kids are earlier in the year, DD 1/19 & DS 3/8) But we are making it a big family Birthday celebration!!!!

It looks like this year (according to mouse savers.com) the only GP discount for May was released 11/30/11 and was a 5-30% off room only. Is that all we can hope for? We are traditionally Fall travelers so I haven't paid much attn to spring discounts in the past.

 

[firstwdw]

We went May 2012 with 30% off room at WL which was released mid Feb so it seems as though they opened up more rooms

Awe - thank you!! Congrats to your DD also and I hope you have a great trip!!!!! We've only been once during the Star Wars Weekends but thought it was pretty cool!

subscribing!

We're looking at a late May/early June trip (after DD is out of college for the summer and our Chinese exchange students head home for the summer).

I've been pushing this trip around for over a year - keep shifting the dates back to accompdate time/money. Started as a GirlzOnly with DD, and now I think it's DH, DD & me, and I may offer a spot to one of DD's friends if they can come so we're not an odd number. Or maybe I'll see if the Chinese Daughters want to come along before heading home (but that still leaves us with 5 (someone always has to ride alone!).

May try combining it with a trip to Universal - want to see the Harry Potter stuff!

Always ;-)

Hi! I don't think the official dates have been released, but going off of previous years - those dates should be the May dates. We will be there for the 5/31-6/2 dates! Can't wait!!!!!!

That's what I've heard as well.....we were planning on catching the last one in May if we can this year

DW and I are going on May10 for 7 nights. Yippeeeee! Besides being huge fans of Disney,we are also both Noonatics ( fan's of Peter Noone ). AKA Herman's Hermits Starring Peter Noone. They are playing EPCOT May10,11,& 12.

 

[mackenziefaith]

We're in! DH, myself, DD12, DD9, and DD1 will be there for 8 nights beginning 5/3! I haven't booked yet. Still trying to decide where to stay. We were supposed to go in March, but the cheer competition we're going down for moved.

 

[babytalula]

I am in for a code watch! I just booked our cruise (May 5-9) and now I am thinking of staying at the park a few days (may 9-12) after we get back. I had no idea about PIN codes until I read this then went back in my old emails and saw they have been sending them to me! I got one in March of 2012 that was good for 4/23/2012-8/13/2012 free dining plan.

So excited this will be DD(4) first time and my 3rd time (1986, 1996)

I know it's too soon to look for discounts, but I have taken to lurking in January boards. I'm waiting for them to get a discount because I know until they get something, I'm most likely out of luck!!

My family and I haven't booked yet. We are booking 3 packages during Thanksgiving. We are waiting as long as possible without missing our book dates for ADRs, so hopefully, they have more need to give discounts. Hey, it's an idea...

But I can't hardly stand the wait! We are probably going to stay at CBR. I've never stayed there, so hopefully, it'll be fun and something new!

 

[rabell]

I'm in! We are going for five nights the 17th of May and staying in the AOA Lion King Suites. The number one reason I joined this site (which is great by the way) is to try to keep informed as soon as the discounts become available. We're praying hard for free dining! I had pin codes for it in 2012 and in 2010 but couldn't find if I had one in 2011. My sister had one that year though. Regardless, I'm excited and ready to go now!! #whiteknuckles
