With only 3 reviews left in my Dining Report, I’m already beginning to feel the “End of Dining Report, No WDW Trip Being Planned in the Near Future” blues.
But it just so happens that my “at the office” boss (who also happens to be my DH
) happens to be out of our office all day today, so what’s that saying...while the cat’s away, the mouse will play???
So anyway in an attempt to cheer myself up (and perhaps also a stalling tactic
), I did a little bit of investigation and discovered that out of the more than 60 people who have posted on my Dining Report thread, nearly 2/3 of you are planning to visit Disney World before the end of this year.
That means I have potentially 40 or so Dining Reports to look forward to in the near future!!!
So on the behalf of those of us in the 1/3 group, I am going to attempt to make a list of Disney Dining Report poster’s with upcoming trips so that we can live (and eat & drink) vicariously through you.

), or if you have any information you would like to add/change then please let me know.
I love this thread!!
And I can't believe that it's only a week from now. I can't wait! 
I will take that as a compliment, as I really like Katie Couric and I find Perez Hilton to be only mildly annoying at times! 
It is sweet and very delicious! And whatever it is...I sure do love it!
