I figured I'd start something a little more condensed for each month instead of the whole year... Thoughts? Anyone want to join in?

Who is going in May 2026 and where are you going and/or staying??

We'll be there May 9th - 17th for my youngest son's 18th Birthday trip!

He wanted to do a split (Because he couldn't make up his mind) so.... We'll be at Boulder Ridge, Boardwalk and Animal Kingdom.

Ah, I see you started it. I think this is a great idea! Oooh, I like your choices for a split stay. Birthdays at Disney are the best!

We will be at BLT (first time there) and Poly (first time in the tower) in May. Glad to have rides like Big Thunder opening back up and doing a real fingers crossed for a preview of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Since we are only there until mid-May, it's probably a bit too early for the preview, but maybe we'll get some magic!

I have a May trip planned. Our first trip as DVC owners. We are doing a split stay at Boardwalk, which my husband got from stalking the site through 86 different versions lol. I'm so excited. We rented points for a Boardwalk stay before - and our room was 5 minutes before the refurb. I'm excited for a new experience there because my first impression has kept me from staying there since! lol. Actually hearing everyone giving it love on DVC Fan made me certain we just landed in a room that needed a LOT of love and I needed to give it another shot! I can't wait to be 200 steps from Epcot during Flower & Garden. The countdown is killing me 😱😱

I stayed at Boardwalk last September and while the room is fine -- nothing special. The views is incredible. I had the Boardwalk view and it was the one balcony that I used the most!

To add to that, the location is pretty great too! Just a short walk to the back of Epcot. I also like the lobby.

Did you say where else you'll be staying, since you said you've booked a split stay?

How fun!! Congratulations!! What a great way to celebrate! .....We would so love to get married while down there in May, but this is crazy! Just wish there was some way to do it and not take a whole day nor a whole month of income! We just want to say, 'I do', 'I do' and then it be done! LOL I was joking with a friend and asked if he knew someone that could just meet us in a parking lot somewhere. eh...

We have a BLT/BWV split stay in May! Being local and doing day trips is great, but there's nothing like a real vacation!

Happy to call the BoardWalk, Bay Lake Tower, and Grand Floridian home!

I'll be checking into Kidani Village on May 2 for 8 nights. First meal on the 2nd will be dinner at Boma. Final meal on the 10th (Mother's Day) will be late breakfast at Boma. This will be my 5th time staying at Kidani. I just love waking up to see animals from my room. Boma is my favorite WDW restaurant.
