Pam, you could at least say hi to us all!!!! We miss you!!!
I am so sorry to hear that you had to cancel your trip Pam. I had to do that in 2008 at Christmas time and it was such a bummer. I feel for you girl. I can't wait to see your wedding pics and hear all about it though.
I hear the June crowds aren't as bas as the July crowds we experienced last week. I have to say that it wasn't that bad last week much better than I was expecting really...even with some pesky teen tour groups. We managed to do everything we wanted with the exception of Fantasmic.
We are becoming a family that can only travel during school breaks. It is becoming more and more difficult to miss school because of testing so we have decided that we will have to travel during school breaks. That means more crowds.. Does your school district have a fall break? We are going this year during our fall break (first week of October) and intend to go again at that time next year. If you have an odd break maybe you could take advantage of that...otherwise I LOVE May but I vote June only because it will be easier on you to schedule.
Oh Pam, I'm sorry that you had to cancel your Disney plans. I have to vote for May. We'll be there May 25th through June 4th. I wish our paths would cross.
Lets see .youll have to figure out what the most important aspect is ..For us, I know Victoria can always make up school work and they will even send some with us, so Im not too worried about that, so whether school is in session or not isnt a big concern. The cost??? Oh yeah .that one is the big one for me!!! If I can get something for less than what is normally is, then Im there!!! I just look at it as Disney World clearance!! Same merchandise for less. Works for me .thats why I love Free Dining!!! I HATE CROWDS!!! So, this is a biggie for me, too! You would think Id hate Disney for that reason, but I can tolerate limited crowds for Disney!! Ive been in June, December and April and I think the least crowded had to be in early December and the most crowded in June. Now, that may have changed by now. April was definitely crowded, but thats how my parents did it ---- always on school vacations.
So, based on MY preferences, it would be May 10 17!!! Is May peak season still?
I'm sorry to hear that you had to cancel your trip.
I vote for April. We love going in April. I can't take the heat in the summer. And the tour groups in August can be unbearable at times too...........
So bummed to hear you had to cancel your trip, but sometimes life just gets in the way!! As you know, we love May because of the great weather and lower crowds, but you have to do what works best for your family! Does your school have a winter break in February? We went in Feb once and the weather was perfect. Warm during the day (enough to swim) and a little cooler at night, but no crowds! Just a suggestion!!
Anyway, I can't wait to see wedding pics! Congratulations!!
I think May is your best bet, but if Emily gets too stressed, I don't think the June week would be awful. I definitely understand being bummed-- so sorry!! At least you still have this trip to look forward to and plan! It's just a bit later than you thought.
Can't wait to see wedding pictures!!
Was soooo looking forward to meeting you and your adorable family- but I can totally understand where you are coming from. So I will DEFINITELY be along to read your 2011 PTR!!!!!!!!!!
I personally would do May. Get there before everyone else does!!!!!!! April you will probably be dealing with the Spring Breakers, and June is hot as h***
so I think May would be great for you and your family.
Can't wait to see those wedding pics!!!!
yeah, what Janine said!!!!
Oh, and Janine.....how about booking a bounceback for May??? Great idea, eh?
Whew, I just got CAUGHT up with your thread....that was a LOT of reading
I vote for your June dates, but I'm biased....they're the SAME dates as our 2011 trip
I can't wait to see pics of the wedding!
Well, you know I homeschool, so you probably guessed that missing school doesn't seem like a very big deal to me! I vote for May! I have heard such great things about the weather and crowds in May. I share your pain, we canceled our trip as well, I can't even begin to figure out when we will go again, so I'm glad at least you can look forward to another trip at least!
