Haha to funny! My exact ressie until this morning when I upgraded to a moderate resort!

 

[WallE]

Our crew will be arriving at WDW on May 26. Will will stay at Pop.

 

[kapeppy]

Count us in! My aunt and I will be there May 4th through the 9th to celebrate our birthdays. Unfortunately we can't be there ON our birthdays so these dates were the best we could do! We will be staying at Pop. Just wish the May hours would come out so I could do some more planning! Leaving for WDW in 12 days and I already have my next trip planned! Woo hoo!

 

[That Mom]

Wow, there are lots of anniversaries being celebrated in May. Hopefully, we will be there for our 29th May 13-20 at WL. I just have to get the final numbers together for DH who isn't a Disney lover (I know...how did we stay together for 29 yrs??)

 

[MinniesYooHoo]

We are going in May also! We have 2 birthdays and 2 anniversarys in May! This trip is also my DD's first time to Disney, so this trip is full of celebrations. I can't wait!!!!! We booked POFQ. (BTW, our trip was also paid in full last week! Things just don't get much better)

We're going May 14-22 - havent been for a couple years so very excited!! I was just wondering, could anyone give me an idea of what the crowds might be like around this time? Thanks!!!

We go this time of year, every year and love that it is not too busy. You will stand in some lines, but for the most part, they should be less than 20 min. except for Dumbo, which always has a long line. IMO, early to mid-May is the best time to visit. The crowds are low because school is still in and the weather can't be beat (70 lows and 80 highs)! You'll have a great time!

 

[BigGreen73]

We are going 05/04 - 05/14. we will be staying at the POFQ using the 4//3 deal.

Now if WDW would just post the May hours and we could make ADR's, life would be perfect.

 

[summersalt]

Booked at the Poly
Decided to do the DxDDP this time since it's just the 2 of us!

 

[Villainess]

4/21 - 5/9 deciding OKW/SSR or both

 

[mickeystoontown]

Hey there, I recently emailed Disney to ask about May hours and when we might expect to be able to book our ADRs. (Even though I have already subscribed to the ADR thread). Thought this information might answer questions you may have wanted to ask but hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Here's the email and their response (on top):

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World Resort.

have not yet been determined or released. Operating hours are usually
available up to 180 days in advance. We encourage you to visit the

Good afternoon,

We are currently booked for a stay at Pop Century for 5/28/09 to 6/6/09.
We will be celebrating our son's 12th birthday (missing it by just 4
days) and our 25th wedding anniversary (happens while we are there)!

But, I am finding it hard to plan our dinner reservations and our
itinerary because the May and June hours aren't posted yet. Do you have
any idea when they will be released?

Thanks in advance and have a fantastic holiday, Lisa

 

[BridetobeDisney]

Hey! Would you add me to the list? May 9 - 16 at Pop...I'm so glad you are putting together this list!

 

[BridetobeDisney]

Hey, Tyson is napping so I decided to put the list in order of arrival date. I added myself to the list too. I hope you didn't mind!

[3boymthr]

Count us in.

Going May 3 - 9 for DSs (13) (9) (6) first trip ever and DH & my first trip since 1993 (and only our third trip every. Probably last trip for another 15 yrs or so (if ever) as DH likes to go somewhere different every year so we're going all out and staying at the YC.

 

[MOM POPPINS]

Hi.. Our whole gang will be there May 23-30 at the Boardwalk! We all love the Boardwalk and are looking foward to staying there again. DD's 8th. birthday is on June 1st. so I might add a few nights so she can celebrate Disney style!
