Hi, Tess! lol
Hoping this isn't a repeat question - has anyone seen or bought the cookbook for this year? Could not find one yesterday and assumed they stopped doing it. I see today on ebay and the parks blog that they are. Would love to get one even (sniff) at a higher price than onsite if the items we liked are included. Is anyone that has one willing to share a picture of just the table of contents, or check if I listed the 3 to 4 items we loved the most?
Thank you so much! We're looking forward to it.
This has been the year from hell for my mom: She lost her sister to lung cancer in the spring--and in the middle of that ordeal, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She beat it, and planning for Disney got her through a lot of the treatment. She's so excited to see WDW with her grandsons and do the Halloween party. And this is something special I planned just for the two of us.
(And that's why WDW means so much to me. Anticipating and planning for it has gotten my family through a lot!)
This will be my first time going. I see they have Eat to the Beat dining package. I won't be doing that but was wondering if you can get a seat if you don't do it?
Yes you should be fine. The dining package allows you to sit near the front, but there is plenty of seating.
I am so happy your mother beat breast cancer. I truly know what you mean about the planning for disney helping. I too was diagnosed with breast cancer and after surgery, chemo, radiation and surgery again I went this January with my best friend(hubbies are good but best friend is better) Planning really takes your mind off things. I am fortunate to be going again the end of this month.....this time with hubby and this time the planning is taking my mind off my hubby's impending dialysis/kidney transplant. I love Disney therapy!!
They did have reusable utensil set last year that came in a small plastic carrying case, but apparently it didn't sell well, so they did not offer it again this year.
If I recall there was a problem with trying to bring the cutlery set back into the park through security.
For me I prefer getting a fresh fork each time I visit a booth as it seems more sanitary to me, but to each their own.
I have family members that are using the same disposable soap dispenser for 10+ years... now that seems extreme to me ...
Did anyone attend PFTS last night?

We're headed down a month from tomorrow (YIPPEEEEEE!!!!!), and I'd love to have all my ducks in a row so we can get right to pigging out. Thank you!
Us too!!!!...We're headed down a month from tomorrow (YIPPEEEEEE!!!!!)....
Is there a checklist floating around anywhere of the F&W menus to make it easy to remember what you want to try?
