Just an intro to our longest trip yet. Usually it's 2 weeks but since our grandson, daughter and son-in-law are going to be with us for the first 7 nights of the trip we will in a 2 bedroom at Copper Creek and after they leave me and the wife will be in a 1 bedroom at a Riviera for 9 nights.
We are very excited since this is our grandson's very first introduction to Disney World and
we are ecstatic to be taking them with us. Plus this is our daughters First trip back with us since she was 15.

Here is the cast of the crew:

As you all know every trip I like to focus on one particular food item. In past trips I've focused on pickles, burgers and bread puddings of Disney. This trip we're going to do something a little bit healthier and focus on salads of Disney cause why not.
Also banana breads, since they are a few to be had and not focused into yet.
Of course there will be many treats and many burgers and of course pickles along the way, so have no fear.



Lots of snacks, Food & Wine festival booths and quick serve which will not be mentioned until the final trip report.

And for anyone who has not read my many fulfilling trip reports, brush up buttercup lots of reading and drooling....

Love reading your reviews! My hubby and I will be staying at Riviera 9/8-13. I hope we get to say hi!
Thats awesome, We would love that, You know what me and the wife look like, so if you see us please say hi!
And I'm very happy to hear you enjoy my reviews
 
So glad another report is coming! Remember, pickles are healthy too. And I want to know if listing “grandson, daughter, and son-in-law” was in order of importance?😜
 
It sounds like a great trip and I can't wait to hear about the food. BUT - you and I are the same age and we are NOT old enough to have grandchildren. We are barely out of childhood ourselves. Tell the truth - where did you "borrow" your daughter and grandson from?? LOL.

Thanks! I have people think we are siblings when together, when people guess my age that meet me for the first time it's usually 32-35. Guess it a good problem to have. Can't wait till I turn 55 and ask for the senior discount, gonna be a whole lot of shocks....
 
Love your reports and am looking forward to two weeks of eating! Also very interested in what you find in terms of salads and always love hearing about good burgers. So fun to see WDW through a kid's eyes. I hope it's magical (& delicious) for all of you!!

Thank you for enjoying my reviews, and stay tuned soon we're getting very close to departure date and it's going to be a food filled 16 nights...
 
I can't wait to hear your reviews! My oldest grandchildren are 2 year old twins, so I am anxious to see what Gavin's favorites are.
