F & W Dates for 2012

[Sandisw]

We are planning an adult only trip to WDW for F & W next year over a long weekend. We are debating between going the 3rd weekend in October or attaching it to Veteran's Day.

Since I have that Monday, the 12th of November off (and its my and another adults birthday!), we thought we'd go then.

I know that F & W typically ends around that time. We'd be arriving on Saturday and leaving Tuesday. If it ends, though, on Saturday of that weekend, we will go with the October dates.

Thanks!

One of the members on another board received the 2011 F&W Guide in the mail. They posted that the 2012 dates are: Sept. 28 - Nov. 11, 2012.

Thanks! I think we might go for the October weekend instead. No sense of going for F & W and then having it not happen 2 of the 4 days!!!!

Just be aware that the dates in the Festival Guide MAY change-they did for year. Last year they printed the dates in the 2010 Festival Guide, then those dates changed by several days. For people who'd made their plans for this year based on those published dates, it was VERY upsetting when they changed. And based on that happenning, I'm surprised that Disney published dates in their guide this year.

How did they change? I have booked my visit about 10 months in advance for week one and it's the same dates. Is it ending earlier then expected?

I'm at work right now, so I don't have last year's guide, but I think the 2010 guide listed the dates as beginning 9/24. I'll check when I get home tonight.

One year the forecasted dates for Epcot's Flower and Garden changed dramatically as well.

I am looking at the 2010 Food and Wine brochure and it is mentionned that the 2011 Food and Wine would be presented Septembre - November 13, which are the actual dates for the 2011 F&W.

I am not sure that I am looking at the brochure that was sent to me in advance or a brochure I took when I was at the 2010 F&W...
