Jennifer,
All of this sounds so great and exciting, I can't wait for the festivities to begin. This is going to be a lot of fun.
You mentioned going to the lounge at the Contemporary on the first night after Wishes. I think a lot of us plan on doing the "Drinks On The Monorail". Might be a better alternative since you questioned, whether the lounges were open that late.
Another suggestion would be on either Monday or Tuesday May 4 or 5 to have a possible Illuminations meet. Even better would be to somehow obtain VIP seating (standing) for this. At which location in the WS to have this, there are many choices. Everyone has their favorites. I particularly like two locales being between Morocco and France and at Italy as well. If we could get the VIP seating maybe over in Italy we could head to one of the stands and have glasses of Prosecco for Illuminations. That would cap off a good night. Then afterwards we could go to one of the resorts either AS or POR. Just my two cents!
