rtguy007 74 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Can one of the fiends give me some advice? Thinking about heading down the last week of April and first week of May 2017. Anyone able to tell me what crowds and weather are like this time of year? I saw the crowd calendar shows light crowds but I know those are estimates. Anyone planning on being there at that time?

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 That is a pretty good time of year to go. The rates drop from Holiday the last of April, and the weather is pleasant to very warm. The WWW has been that weekend the last couple of years and the park crowds are not crazy.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Late April/early May is some of the nicest weather you'll find in Florida. The oppressive summer humidity will not yet have arrived. I agree with Carol (and the crowd calendars), it's usually not too bad in the parks. So, you're looking at a good time to come.

rtguy007 74 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks for the feedback Carol and TCD. After talking with my sister and brother in law, it looks like we are going to shoot for the week of thanksgiving and the week after in 2017. Went ahead and blocked those dates off because I know they fill up fast. On a side note, I was customizing the magic bands for the trip I just booked. I am going snarky......PURPLE MAGIC BANDS ARE HERE!!!!! Not sure if anyone knew this yet. Didn't see it on the forum. But now you can get a free purple one when booking. One of the things they did take away for online booking was the ability to notate a site/look request. I am going to have to call and have that added to the notes on my reservation since it is no longer available to add online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Last time I booked, there were some choices for those requests at online checkin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rtguy007 74 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Maybe that is where they moved it to. The only thing when I booked was some options to let them know you have slide outs, an awning, length, and if you want to be close to someone else checking in. The freeform field is no longer there to add notes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
