Disney is BOOKED for May !!

We booked it last night -

I didn't sleep I had so much anxiety over that major ginormous price tag. (We are also bringing and paying for my parents as a "Thank You" for everything they do for us and the kids)

I want to throw up. Chat Icon

It was 30% off the rooms - We're staying @ the Yacht Club
I liked that it was walking distance to Epcot & MGM and the pool is amazing ......and there's that cute Boardwalk w/in walking distance too

With 2 and 4 year old boys I'm not really going to attempt fine dining Chat Icon

We are going Monday - Saturday.
Was going to do Sunday to Saturday but it will be my sister's 1st mother's day and even though we usually celebrate on satruday, I didn't want her to flip out that I was 'taking my mom away and leaving her alone'

that is a perfect amount of time. you guys are going to have so much fun! excited for you guys.

We went in early May and the weather was perfect. It wasn't too hot in the mornings to walk around the parks and then it was mid-80's in the afternoon.

Great! Enjoy! We are going mid May too! We leave the day after mother's day. If you haven't done it yet go book your ADRs the popular ones might be booked up. I know we booked under the 180 window but Be our Guest has long been booked up. Are you staying on or off site?

Some big changes are coming probably by the time we go.

Check your ressie. You should have gotten 30% off PLUS a discount on your tickets if you went with the current public deal.

1. Best place to rent a stoller? Someone said Stroller Magic

That is exactly what we did. 5 nights 6 days and i thought it was great

Garden Grocer is awesome. SO easy. My only problem is I waited until the DAY BEFORE to order from them! and couldnt get a delivery on my arrival day, and got it the day after and then forgot to call down to get that day bc we were out ALL day so we didnt receive it until our 2nd full day (3rd day). But that was our own fault.

There are several stroller companies. Do some research.
gardengrocer is like peapod. They will deliver to bell services if you are not there. I recommend ordering 2-3 weeks before. We went the same time in 2010 and we ordered 2 weeks ahead and got the only slot left for that day. A lot of people in the villas orderfrom them so the times book way in advance. Crazy but at least you have your items.

I shipped a box last time and would recommend that if you have diapers, wipes and swimmies you will need. It was cheaper than brining an extra bag. A medium uhaul size box about $25 lbs cost about $18. Send it ground a week before you go. They will hold it for you.

I just used Baby Wheels Orlando in December and had a great experience. Stroller was spotless and they offer the City Mini GT. Was waiting for us at the Wilderness Lodge at check in. Just left it at bell services at check out. Their insurance was only $15 (cheaper than most others), and their rates are great. I will be using them again in April

I have no idea how big the basket is on a regular to be honest. I put some water bottles, snacks, ponchos, sweaters etc under there. My child is almost 6, so I went with the GT due to the higher weight and height limit. It pushed like a dream!
