and to the boards Laura! Congrats on your upcoming trip!

I haven't been to WDW around Memorial day so, I'm not too familiar with how the crowds would be. But my guess is that it being a major holiday weekend with lots of people off from work and school would make the parks very busy. I would be prepared for it to be at least moderately crowded and expect long lines for the rides/attractions. There is a great website called Touring plans where for a paid subscription gives you access to a great planning tool, a crowd calendar for one year. Disney World | Disneyland - Vacation Planning Tools Might help you out with seeing the crowd levels around that time.

As for the resorts AoA and Pop Century, to figure out a budget I just go to the Walt Disney World website. From there I play around with various dates and resorts to get a rough idea on how much I should budget. I like that you can choose what type of room you want and just take it from there. You can also add on theme park tickets and the dining plan too.

HI Welcome to the boards!!!

Price out on the Disney site and then price it out with a Travel Agent. See who will give you the best deal. Watch for sales and deals.
