Hi DM...

We used to take the kids out of school each trip so we could enjoy May in WDW. We'd go the week before Memorial Day, so we were leaving on Saturday when the big crowds were just arriving for the holiday weekend.

The very best part for me was the Epcot Flower & Garden Show (I am an F&G junkie!). Plus that weather issue is a killer for my kids. DD is especially crabby when she gets hot (sorry, LittleMissDisney!). May for us has always been perfect weather! REALLY perfect.

Once, a gardener CM was putting a few extra pieces of ivy on the topiary of Belle in France. They do it with hairpins and little ivy plugs. She showed us how to do it, and I got to stick a tiny piece of ivy into Belle's skirt. A favorite memory!

Anyway, if I had the chance to plan a May trip, I would do it without any regard to any other time. Here is a photo of why:
