Oh my goodness -- I don't know where my brain has been but we just got our school schedule for next year.


I didn't realize we get out May 30 next year (providing no snow days!)

I just looked up Gay Days for 2008 and bummer it will be June 3 - 9 so basically the same timeframe.


Kind of nixes that idea.

No, no, no, you've got it ALL wrong!!!

You need to go the last of May/early June of 2007, because that's when we're going, and we can meet up!!!!! You're on your own talking your DH into that, but I'll give you the same offer I gave Natalie.....you can stay with us in our room at Pop! Now, doesn't that sound like fun? The four of us, you, and your four (?) kids, and your DH if you can talk him into it. Heck, I won't even charge you!!!!!

Just FYI though, Gay Days is that week this year, I *think* it starts the Thursday we're there, which, according to my ADR list, would be May 31....the same day as Chef Mickey's breakfast and 50's PTC dinner, if you're interested. I'm avoiding the parks they're going to be in, using TGM (2nd recommended park when he recommends their park) and hoping for the best.

I'll give you a full detailed report when I get back, if it will help you any! And, FWIW, I've heard the earlier in June you go, the less crowded it is.

Becky!!!!

Hey dont know if you remember me but wanted to let you know that we too are going during the same time period!! May 31-June 7! Dh said we could go *if* I pay for the trip myself (meaning no income tax refund) so I am determined, have the room only booked and already paid for half!! It would be so cool if we could meet since we miss each other on our trips to the American Girl Place!

edited to add: We have gone twice during Gay Days. If you avoid the park that they will be at during that time all is fine. We have seen a few groups of them all wearing the red shirts but never seen anything inappropriate. And the parks aren't that crowded but still hot.

You know we have only been during same time period too, I have no idea what Epcot looks like with out all the cool flower topiaries. They really are a highlight. Plus what is cooler that wandering around MGM and seeing all the Star Wars characters!

hey, this is my first time on this board.. but since we are leaving in just over 2 wks for DW i am seeing if i can find any last minute tips!

i did not know about this gay days thing.. we are going the same time you are, may 31 - june 5. what is this all about? what parks will they be at/when, and how did you find out? how does this impact the parks/schedules/resorts/restaurants etc?? i mean is it really in your face or is it you can participate or not? my kids are super young so it doesn't really matter, i'm just wondering if/how it will affect things like poolside at the resort and parades and normal DW activities..

thanks! kathy
