My DH and 2 DSs and I went to WDW last May (2-9th). I thought it was our once in a lifetime trip....but I converted them!
My DSs were 6 and almost 3. They talk about it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. They watch videos of the rides before bed, lol.
So now DH and I are trying to see if we can make a way to get back while they are still around this age.
The catch is that I teach and I cannot take the days off this year. We also need to have a shorter trip. 4 park days? 5? They really loved MK last time and that is where my little DS (who will have just turned 4 and is tiny) can do the most. We didn't do AK last time but want to this time for Pandora.
We were thinking about early June (2nd or 3rd week). What is June like? Early May was pretty perfect. Are we going to die in the heat? My DH hates heat, but we managed fine in May by taking a mid-day break (which we would still do this year). I think I remember reading here the crowds have been pretty low in June the past few years? I realize the (potential) opening of TSL may change that.
Last year we also went compliments of a gift from my mom after she passed away. We stayed Moderate, did the Dining Plan, etc. This year we are trying to figure out a way to make it work, so we need to be budget conscious. Are we going to be disappointed at a Value after staying Moderate before? We are thinking of tickets through Undercover Tourist, still with a Park Hopper because that flexibility with a mid-day break is nice. Also no Dining Plan this time since we would not do as many character meals (still probably 1-2).
So...June? Advice? Should we do it? lol. We need to decide because our ADR date would be soon!!!
