I know that you are already expanding your budget for this trip but it sounds like a park hopper would make your decision a little easier if your budget will allow it. You could do morning at DHS and afternoon/evening at AK on your second WDW day and get the best of both worlds. You definitely...

I am definitely planning on embracing the spontaneity of a last minute trip and making the most of it. There are 6 of us going in total so a lot of this trip will definitely be different from my typical trip in many ways. I'm super excited about it! Surprise Disney trips are the best kinds of...

So I have so bad news and some great news... My girls trip has been cancelled, unfortunately medical costs are going to be too high to swing a girls trip with my best friend this year. However, I got a call yesterday from my boyfriend's mom and she wants to plan a Disney trip! There is a catch...

Etsy probably has some shops that would make somethings like this, I know of many wonderful Disney-centric Etsy shops that make everything from ears and t-shirts to candles and jewelry. I just did a quick search and found this...

I LOVED Moana. I made a point of not knowing much about it before going to see it and I am so happy that I did, the music is incredible! My boyfriend even said that it was one of the best movies he's seen in a while, Disney or otherwise. He isn't as big of a Disney fan as I am so this is high...

I have some potentially very sad news. This trip might not happen :cry: Over the past few weeks, some unexpected medical and financial situations arose and my friend and I are unsure as to whether or not we will be able to make this trip a reality. Hopefully, we will know for sure in the next...

Looks like we're switching trip styles! I had so much fun on my trip with my boyfriend and I'm sure you'll have a great time. Going with Disney newbies is always so much fun, it's almost like you get to experience it for the first time again just through their eyes! I read your most recent...

Planning is one of my favorite parts of any vacation so I literally jumped on the planning train the second it rolled into the station! Here are the details: Who: Me (Kaitlyn) and my best friend (Becca) When: May 11-16, 2017 Why: Becca and I have ALWAYS talked about going on a vacation...

Hello! And welcome to my first ever adventure with trip reporting! I'm going to WDW in May 2017 and thought that maybe I should write a TR since I love reading other people's. Let's see how this goes. I'm not really sure how to start these things so I guess I'll just jump in... Since I'm...

Yay! Congrats on graduating and your trip to Disney!!!! Everyone is given a free pass to let their inner child shine while they're at Disney. My boyfriend and I went on a long weekend trip last January, we were 22 at the time and meeting characters was one of our top priorities too (our first...

It's not the money we're concerned about it's taking too much time off work that we're being careful of. We both have at least one other vacation planned for 2017 and this is kind of more of an extended long weekend trip for us rather than a full vacation. Otherwise we would definitely be...

@Rinx we are planning on staying on property (we're looking at moderates right now) and using Disney Transportation exclusively. We just finalized the dates for our trip about 3 weeks ago so the planning is just beginning.

Thank you so much for the info on renting DVC points! As you mentioned, I'm running up against the clock if I want to book for this May using a DVC point rental. I don't think it will work out this year but with all that I've learned about the process through my own research and all of the great...

OHMYGOSH that view! I would LOVE to stay in a room with that kind of view someday. Looking forward to the rest of your trip report!

Thank you so much! This is all great info. It looks like AKV might be our best bet based on the prices you posted if we chose to go for a DVC rental. My friend's step-sister works for disney and might be able to get the CM family discount for us which might be more of a discount than a Disney...

We're looking at May 11-16, 2017. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the advice everyone! Thank you for the very thorough evidence of the cost justification for renting dvc points! It does seem like I might be a little late to the game to get one of my preferred resorts if my trip is in May. I'll do some research to find out what's...

Thanks @mouse_luv! Since you have had positive experiences with renting DVC points, I'm guessing that you would recommend it? Have you ever stayed at AKL? I think that's my top choice at the moment mostly based on price and the fact that I love the theme of the resort but it seems to be a bit...

I'm looking at renting DVC points for the first time for a trip in May with my best friend. We've never taken a vacation together and we've been talking about this trip for a while now. We're both recent college grads, celebrating being adults (and we want to go relive our childhood in WDW...

I am loving your TR so far! Your writing style is so entertaining, I feel like I'm experiencing this trip right along with you! Also, your photo taking skills are not as bad as you make them out to be, I actually think that they're pretty good for in-park photos! At least you take them, I'm...
