Welcome foodies! I've been sitting around planning this trip for a couple of months and I'm almost done, so I thought I would share our planning! 
This will be my 3rd visit and DH's second visit to WDW. Last year, we were at WDW from October 2 to 14th, staying at the Dolphin. We got to try almost all of the F&W booths a couple of TS restaurants and some QS spots. The link to that first review is in my signature.
This year, we almost cancelled our trip, since we were supposed to move to a new house, but that fell through and I was very glad that I hadn't cancelled our hotel reservation!
We are again planning to stay at the Dolphin, King room, from October 16 to 28th, 2012 (12 nights).
On this trip, we will be celebrating 15 years together (we're highschool sweethearts). We also have 3 boys, ages 4, 6 and 8, but they are staying at grandma's house. We don't get to go on dates at home, so a couples-only vacation is a real treat.
We plan on going back with the kiddos in 2 years.
As a side note, I should mention that I had weight-loss surgery in November 2010. Since then, I've lost about 180 pounds, going from 350 to 170 pounds. This has been a real life changer, but it has also left me with a stomach of about 4-5 onces. So I don't eat a lot, but I must eat often, concentrating on protein. Greasy/fried food is not my friend.
Since we will be going to many TS restaurants, we plan on splitting meals or getting a couple of appetizers and skipping mains. Of course, I must have my cocktails, and I have a list of snacks to try out, too. Let's not forget our plan to try something from every F&W booth, too!
While I like more salty/savoury dishes and snacks, DH is a giant sweet tooth on legs.
And this man can eat! 
So while I try a bite our two of most food, he is the one actually finishing the dishes. He's really laid back and goes with the flow but sometimes chuckles and calls me the Disney Geek... 
This is a pic of us, last month. We both are French-Canadian living in Quebec, just besides Ottawa. I teach French to English-speaking civil servants and DH works in sales. DH does not speak much English, however.
Let's get this moving! Next: our plans and ADRs.

I was happy to see you had started a PTR. You have many great restaurants planned again for this trip. 
So I will be living vicariously through you and a few others here on the DIS who are going during that time. 
I found plenty of cute clothes for our trip and for work and some brand new Oakley sunglasses.
