Food and Wine Fun and CSR rocks trip report!

[vettegirl]

Welcome to my trip report. I am Lori love Disney to pieces and am always looking forward to the next trip. My MIL Carolyn also joined along for the fun, she likes Disney as well. However, I yet to meet anyone who loves Disney as much as I do LOL!!!
We arrived at MCO right before 11:00 AM on Monday Oct 26. There was no line for Magical Express and we arrived at the beautiful CSR right before noon. I was really excited to try a moderate resort and the CSR did not dissapoint. It really felt like a deluxe resort and the grounds were amazing. The staff was super nice and were very accomodating. We stayed in building 8B and were paces away from Bus Stop 4. Here are some photos of the resort. Check out all the hidden mickeys in the room.http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr155/lstipetich/Picture001.jpg

Coming up the rest of Day 1 Food and Wine Adventures and short MK Tour

So next we hopped on the bus and were at Epcot in less than 10 minutes for the Food and Wine Festival. I always get excited when I see Spaceshipe Earth, it's so beautiful. I was able to spot it from the plane, DW looks so small from the air, but man is that a different story on the ground. I still have the blisters to prove it :lmao:
So my first mission was to find the lobster and scallop fisherman pie in Ireland.

Well it did not dissapoint. It was heaven in a bowl. We both used a snack credit because the total for two pies was $14.00 and some change. Excellent use of the snack credit. Here are some more photos along the way

What type of camera were you or your MIL using?

So at Epcot we were able to ride that afternoon Soarin with a FP and the Mexico Boat ride. We mainly wondered around WS looking at all the food booths. I also love the store in Japan, I could stay in there all day long. We had a 4:30 dinner ressie for Biergarten one of my favs and went by at 4 and were seated. We sat next to some really nice local ladies and also saw the entertainment. Food was excellent as usual. The highlightsof the meal were the chicken schitzel, hot potato salad, and the berry dessert. Our server was also excellent.

Great update! Can I use a few of your pictures when I update the CSR FAQ thread?

[vettegirl]

Yes you can use whatever you want. CSR was so nice, it should be a deluxe resort IMO.
