Welcome to my first PTR!
I had a few alternative PTR names:
Around the World in 80 Noms. But obviously it won't be Food and Wine, so that doesn't really make sense.
How much nom could a woodchuck nom if a woodchuck could nom noms? But that just doesn't actually make sense at all... and are woodchucks real or are they like unicorns?
Anyway, here we are, less than three months out so I thought it was a good time to start a pre-trip report. AKA "Let's talk about what I'm going to eat" for the next 75 days. I LOVE to eat, and that's at least 50% of the purpose of travelling for me. We'll have the QSDP and we're going to try to stick to it as well as we can, with maybe one table service. It'll be hard to miss out on all the great TS restaurants, but I'm determined that we can be stuffed and satisfied with only quick service and snacks.
Intros (WHO!)
This is me (Kelsey) and my husband (Jason) in Disneyland 2 years ago.
This is the only photo we have of the two of us from that trip. No Photopass, what?! One successful selfie? Pitiful! I'm pretty sure I took more photos of food than of us. I'll do better this time though!
However, I DID do a trip report (see signature) as well as one for our honeymoon trip in 2009! Check them out if you're into DisneyLAND at all.
Here we are on the same trip, in Pismo Beach for a friend's wedding (the purpose of the trip to California). Looking dapper!
And here's a pic of all four of us who will be going on THIS trip from our last trip to WDW together in 2008. We will call them K (her) and R (him).
They have been to Disneyworld and Land a few more times than we have, they are the true disfans!
We are super excited to be going back to "Big" Disney as DH thinks of it... he says he has no interest in going to DL again. Well, I have no problem with going to WDW! He's just happy we can drink and he can smoke cigars in DTD. Whatever gets him there!
WHERE! We are staying at Pop again because it's cheap and we liked it last time. Looking forward to checking out the AoA food court too.
WHEN! We'll be arriving around dinner time on September 4th and leaving early on the 11th. We'll have five full Disney days and one Universal days so we can visit Springfield and the Simpsons.
WHY! Free dining, $265 round trip flights from Seattle, cuz we want to and umm, YOLO? That was how K got me to commit to going, she told me a sad story where the moral was 'you never know when you might die, so why bother saving all of your money instead of going to Disneyworld?' I shed a tear, and then my credit card shed some tears. We have free quick service dining and we're going to do our best to not spend too much more on food, so hit me with ALL of your best, most delicious QS restaurants and specific meals. K is a picky eater, but we're all cool with going our separate ways for meals.
WHAT! Umm... trip to WDW? Isn't that obvious yet? Our friends are looking forward to a child free trip! Their daughter is super cute and perfect, but they decided that at 2 1/2 she just isn't quite ready to wait in line and they'd prefer to stay out later than 8pm!
So that's the 5 dubs. I hope I will get some readers, and I promise, if you buy in now there will be a great trip report upon my return! Be back soon for an update

I did notice there are still a TON of ADRs to be had when I'll be there.
Im an accountant, but Im still kinda fun. I love: yoga, kickboxing, crocheting and snowboarding! Kickboxing is over for the summer, and so is snowboarding obviously, and crocheting dies down when its hot out, so Im kind of sad to just be doing yoga this summer. But it gives me more dis time. And Ill go golfing with DH a few times, and well probably go for some long bike rides. 
It's just the way it worked out planning around the crowd calendars! 
Maybe because everything is in such close proximity here? I'm not sure! There is one right over the bridge in NJ but the toll is $13 which makes me sad lol
