anyone thinking food and wine 2009?

[bonnielynn]

I am contemplating going down.. just wondered who had the same thoughts..

 

[CarolA]

My trip has been booked since November or December. That's the ONLY reservation I book that far in advance!

 

[bzzelady]

We are going the first weekend-September 25 to 27th. It is a surprise trip for my DH's college graduation-he dearly loves Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and he was really bummed that we already had the big family trip planned for the first week of December and that he would not get to see his favorite band play at Food and Wine...little does he know that instead of going to Ocean City for the weekend that he will be getting on a plane to Disney
Hey, I just told him that we were going to the "beach" for the weekend-I didn't really lie as we are staying at the Beach Club for the weekend

We have our trip planned since our 11th month booking window, switched to BWV at 7months. We will be there Oct 2-6. We are so looking forward to drinking around the world and walking back to our room.

 

[Goofy's apprentice]

We're 11-month bookers as well. At 7 months we switch out. Our waitlists have all come in so we are 5 days at BWV and 3 days at BLT. It is our annual adults-only trip and we look forward to it so much !!

 

[TIGGERmetoo]

We booked at 11 months too, Sept 26-Oct 3 at BLT. I love food and wine, the festival too!

I booked the last weekend in September at 11 months out as well. We're looking forward to the MNSSHP on the Friday and enjoying F&W on Saturday and Sunday! If they have the Sweet Sundays (I think that's what they call the brunch on Sundays) this year, I do hope we can do it.

We're going in October, too. We're booked for BWV with BW view for 4 nights, then 2 nights at AKV savannah view for our DS. We made both reservations 11 months out to be certain to get what we wanted.

 

[Slakk]

We are at BLT for 10/28-11/1 MK View woo hoo!!! I love F&W!

 

[SamSam]

I booked 11 months out, the Wine and Food Festival is a 'must do' for us, so I'm on the phone right away at the 11 month window.

We have two trips planned during F&W and it can't get here soon enough.

 

[kapeman]

Add yet another; booked at 11 months and switched at 7 months to BCV for the second week in Oct.

Any advice for F&W first-timers?

Are the beer seminars any good?

I'm also booked for BCV in October, 10/16-10/22. 10/13-10/16 I'm at AKV Jambo House.
I'm afraid I can't help you with the beer seminars since I don't drink beer. One thing I did though that I loved was that one day it was raining, so I spent the entire afternoon inside the Festival Center going from one free demo to another. Got lots of good food there! Also, one tip at BCV is e sure to check out the movies on the beach.

 

[SCDizneyDawn]

We also booked at 11 months! we were at the BWV and at 7 months we changed to BLT (had to waitlist for MK view, still waiting) for the second week in October!

See you all there!

 

[ak1024]

We will be staying at BLT for a week in October beginning on the 18th in a Lake View room. We go every year for Food and Wine during DS's fall break from school.

 

[disneymotherof3]

We'll be there too! We'll be staying at OKW Oct. 25-30. I can't wait! This will be our 2nd F&W.

Where is the Festival Center?? That sounds like a great idea on a rainy day.

 

[DisneyHumbug]

We'll be at BCV Sept 25 for a long weekend! Looking forward to drinking around the world and stumbling back to the room for a day or two or three...
