Follow me to the Boardwalk! 10/23 - 11/7 UPDATED 4/13 BEACHES & CREAM

[jabead]

Today my latest and (who knows maybe?) greatest Disney dining adventures begin! I'm posting this from the airport while waiting to board a plane that will take me to my "HAPPY" place. This will be another (mostly) solo trip to again enjoy the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Due to a recent change in plans, this will be my longest ever Disney World vacation. I will arrive this evening, Oct. 23 and depart for home on Nov. 7. While I originally planned for only a 10 day trip, with the announcement that this would be the final year for the Osborne Lights I decided to extend my trip for a few days so that I can see the lights on their opening night, Nov. 6. I just had to see the Osborne Lights one more time!! But not only will I be seeing the lights on Nov. 6 but there will be food involved too, as I will be attending the Merry & Bright Dessert Party!


For all but two nights of my trip I will be staying at the Boardwalk Inn, hence the title of this dining report.








Therefore my dining adventures will be focused on the F & W Festival and other Epcot restaurants, plus the Epcot resort area...with a few other restaurants thrown into the mix here and there. I promise you though that this dining report will include some surprises. As time allows I will update the Table of Contents in the next post, so check back here if you'd like to see what I'll be reviewing. Also, if you are an Instagramer, you can follow me @jabead. I'm going to try to post a food highlight daily.


I'll end this report introduction with something that a DIS friend, Niki Andiokno, recently shared with me on Facebook.

​

This made me literally laugh out loud. Hopefully it did the same for you. Oh, and rest assured I'll be taking photos of all my food, even if something is not ok.
