Let me introduce my family. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here we are:
From left to right is Kaylee, age 15; me (Jodi - aka the Mom), David (aka Dad to the kids, but my Prince Charming of 22+ years to me) and Amanda, age 19.
Just a tiny bit of background about this trip.
We are from Appleton, WI. All of WI gets 2-3 days off of school at the end of October for a state-wide teacher's convention. So we have been to Disney at this time of year many times and it's one of our all-time favorite times to come because of crowds, weather and of course - THE EPCOT FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL!!
This trip was originally supposed to include 13 people in all - my two best friends and their families with my whole family. However, for various reasons, both friends with their families had to drop out.
So then it was going to be just me, DH and DD15. We had invited DD19 all along but she is a sophomore in college in MN and really didn't think she would be able to get out of all of her responsibilities (work and school) to come.
However, at the very last minute (5 days before we left) she asked if she could still come. She was able to work things out with her professors and boss and I was able to snag her a free flight on Air Tran for the way there and a $107 flight on the way home. I couldn't believe that!
LOVE Air Train - gonna miss you!
We are DVC members but we love FREE dining (see my signature - this was our 8th time on a free dining trip). We had rented some of our DVC points to friends this past summer, so we really didn't have points left for this trip and with 4 adults, free dining is an awesome deal for us.
We LOVE POFQ and so we decided to stay there and had the regular ddp free. We had the very best room location I've ever had at a Disney resort. We were in room 4225. It was on the second floor, in building 4. It was the second room in from the stairs which led to to food court entrance. It was literally like 20-25 steps from our door to the door to enter the food court.
So filling up our refillable mugs or getting a yummy snack like beignets was quick & easy! Speaking of beignets, that was the first use of our 20 snack credits and we forgot to take a picture! SORRY!
I do promise LOTS of food porn to come though, so stay tuned.
