Too soon for an October 13 F&W thread? I hope not... - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

We will be there Oct. 6-13 staying at OKW. This is my favorite season of the year at WDW. I really love F&W. just hope we don't have any hurricane problems this year.

The weather's perfect that week (we've been other times in October to compare), all the different foods (of which DH would say that the Hawaiin beer's best)-I keep trying to find the best, so many to choose from. Are you thinking of any special events? I like to do one culinary demo, and always enjoy it. So when you're there, I'll be the solo lady eating clam chowder in the Marketplace every night.

I noticed that the 2BRs were already almost booked for the time we're there, and we're still 8+ months out so I'm not surprised there are a lot of DIS'ers already planning on going.

We definitely will do some special events, we have a large group and several have never been to WDW (let alone F&W), so I am eager to see the calendar of events. What is your experience with the culinary demos, do you have to sign up well in advance? Are there "day of" events or should I assume that anything worth attending needs to be pre-arranged? My wife, sister and 2 SIL's will be there, all love to cook and have asked me if I could find them something they could do one day as a "ladies" day, preferably something involving a little wine, a little cooking and none of the kids!

Most importantly, how will you still have room for clam chowder after walking around the festival all day? I did try the clam chowder on our last trip, it was really good.

We'll be in FL 10/18-10/27 but our BCV reservations are 10/20-10/25. I am hoping to switch to BWV 1BR std view at 7 months but am doubtful I will be able to (love saving the points and there's really no views at BCV anyway!). We are planning to go to USO either the first or second weekend.

Wish they could just match a waitlist to another waitlist. I want BWV and this other guy wants BCV so they just switch our reservations. That'd be great. Unfortunately, I don't see that ever happening!

F&W Fest is our favorite time of year.

We will be there with friends and family 10/30-11/3 at BWV

shortypots · 02-19-2013, 04:10 PM

We'll be there from Oct 11-20, first two nights in VWL studio, and the other 7 in 2bd VWL, however, we would love to move over to BCV if at all possible.

disfam2012 · 02-20-2013, 10:19 AM

Wow, there really will be a lot of us there! I feel blessed that we were able to book a 2br at the 8month mark!

BCV, here we come! Well, in 8 months lol

We will be at F & W Festival this year staying at the BWV in a standard view 1 bedroom October 12th - October 20th. I can't wait!!

We will do the Halloween Party one night. We usually also sign up for a few of the wine tasting seminars as well as a Food & Wine Pairing event.

I love the weather in October and the quality time I get to spend with DH.

Welcome to the Disboards LOVEARS!

WolfpackFan · 02-22-2013, 07:36 AM

As I previously mentioned we will be there Oct. 6-13 staying in a Studio at OKW (we hope). We've always had good luck getting OKW studios at 7 months. Is there any reason to think we would have problems doing it this visit? Also, we will be using some one-time points for the first time. With giving DD points this year for her honeymoon, we're real tight on points. We can't borrow, because we're borrowed out

paults · 02-22-2013, 09:03 AM

will be at BWV from 10/12 to 10/18 but will be trying to move 10/12 (first night) to AKV or BLT. DD and family want to see the other DVC's.

Welcome! I'm not sure when the schedules are released, but am excited to see what will be going on the days we are there. Either way, we'll find plenty to do and have a blast but with a bunch of first timers it'd be pretty cool if our trip coincides with some special appearance or event.

Excited to see so many people already booked and excited. I also notice some people are going for 2-3 weeks, that's awesome.
