***The Official May 2017 Thread***

Does anyone have any insight as to why the all stars are completely booked in early may?

The cheer summit is likely to blame.

Family of 3 booked for April 28-May 5 @ AoA We are September people so pretty excited to see what this time of year brings, we've never been April/May. I'm reading some good things about crowd levels and the Flower and Garden Festival should be really cool to see. Just can't wait to be back at the World!

We are September people too and I'm excited to see how May compares! It's been years since I've been in May

Very happy to find this thread. We're going to WDW April 29 - May 20; staying at OKW. We've been in constant planning mode since June and still are changing plans daily We absolutely love The Illuminations cruises and will be taking one again this trip. Once I schedule it I will post about it here in case anyone would like to join us.

I just posted the same thing on the June board, but since our trip covers May dates too, I have to follow both!
Hi
I'm back on the boards and wanted to check-in that my fiancé will be staying at AKV-CL 5/28-6/3/2017 as husband and wife . We get married 5/26/17 and start our honeymoon at the Most Magical Place on Earth followed by a Caribbean cruise!
I was last at WDW forever ago 6/2012 and last at AKV-CL 10/2011 CRAZY!!! My fiancé has never been to WDW, however, we did enjoy a DL trip this past May. He said "Now that I've seen DL, I have to see WDW!" Wish granted!
Can't wait to catch up with everyone and Disney news!

Very excited to be able to join you guys in planning for May!! DH and I will be doing another kid-free trip, arriving 5/18 and staying until the 22nd. Quick trip for F&G, which I love Hopped online today and lucked into Jetblue's one day sale so our tix were $80/RT
No idea yet where we'll stay or what we'll do other than spend a decent amount of time in Epcot, but the important thing is we're GOING!!

Just booked POP CENTURY for May 9-18. Hoping for a room discount to come up soon. It's our 25th anniversary trip.

Happy Anniversary!!!! We got a lovely frame as a gift from a cast member for our anniversary in 2012. You guys will have such fun!

We're 170 days away from our vacation! I was so looking forward to the 180 day mark so I could start making our dining reservations. Now that they're all made and I got everything I wanted... I have no other countdown until we hit 30 days for fast passes! Ahhhh!

In the meantime I've just been digesting everything WDW to amp up my waiting.

Hey...look who joined in the May party!! I wish we had Jetblue as an option here, wow! What a price!

Count us in for May too! We have vacationed the last 5 years in September and this past year in October, but find that it's getting very crowded at that time. We have decided on 5/20/16-5/25/16. DS gets out of school on 5/19/16, so we are leaving the next morning. We are also renting points for the first time ever and staying at the AKL - Kidani Village with a Savannah view. We are paying for our dining out of pocket and buying our tickets either through parksavers or undercover tourist. Amazing this trip will cost us the same or a little less as our free dining trips in the fall, but with a deluxe resort!

It was just luck that we logged on to their site yesterday and caught that one day sale! Oh, and I tried to get our dates to coincide with yours so we could actually meet but they didn't work for my mom and she's watching the boys. One of these days though!

Just switched from AOA Little Mermaid to a Water View room at Caribbean Beach!! And saved money in the process!! Woot!!

Love it when the new deals come out!!

 

[IndianaRRT]

Just called the reservation line to see if the new Fun & Sun discount could be applied to our existing reservation. Success!! We are so so excited and counting the days--Ft Wilderness, here we come!

So we've had some changes to our visit! The dates are the same, but we are pleased to say we've added a family member.

Haha...no babies!

Our nephew is now part of the family. He made the decision to come live with us after an abusive upbringing by both birth parents and stepparents. Here he will be able to finish high school and enjoy some things he's never been able to, like a Disney vacation!! Since we've no outgrown the room at WL, we changed today to the cabins at FW. We are so excited to celebrate DD's high school graduation, but now we can also celebrate DNephew's graduation and first visit. We are counting the days!!

God Bless you for opening your family, home and heart to your nephew.
