Food & Wine & Friends, or 'Wishing a Year Away'. October 2012 PTR *NEW 11/18 TR link!

great ADRS! I really wish we had tried AP in December, so i will be anxious to hear how you like it!

I am glad to hear you will be doing a TR for May :thumbsup2
 
I also enjoy writing TR's.. although I have only done them for 3 of my DL trips... I think it helps me in remembering to take pictures if I am planning to do a TR! Otherwise I forget things (However the opposite is true as well, there are times I should put my camera down and enjoy what is going on!)

I love having them to look back on and read later!

I can't wait for AP! We've visited WL a couple of times and just love it there.

I am sure between Mark and I the May trip will be interesting, to say the least!
 
hi. just read your PTR. Very exciting to have 2 trips planned! and so soon.

You are going to love artist point, I've only eaten there once (when I stayed at WL) but have very fond memories of it.

I feel like we would have very similar touring plans, especially the resort bar crawl. :) I'm actually choosing a hotel on my next trip based on the bar. And if all of the stars align, I'll be able to get an AP and visit at least 2x. Hoping to hear about that very soon.

Thanks for reading, very glad to have you along!!

Woah! I finally found someone else who considers bars an attraction! Have you seen partythroughtheparks.com ? It's an amazing website that gives reviews of different bars in the parks and resorts. Not all of them are up there, but they are always adding more.

My favorite resort bars so far are the pool bars at AKL (both Jambo and Kidani), and at the Poly. The bartenders at the Poly were always very nice.

I'm also dying to check out the Crew Cup lounge at... either the Yacht or Beach club, can't remember which right now.

My favorite bar in a park is the Tune-In Lounge attached to 50's Prime Time. And I can't wait to try the Dawa Bar near Tusker House in AK

Um, should I be embarassed by how much I just wrote on the subect of drinking?

:rotfl2: prior to my dd's last trip, she talked a lot about "the booozes" She had perused the websites and I believe even read the one you noted. I think when you dont have kids with you it makes it a lot more doable to indulgence in the boozes. ;)

I'm so going to have to check out that website! We didn't do to much drinking on our last trip but this year I am planning on it! No need to be embarrassed! We are all adults!

ha. you're in good company :)

Poly bar - LOVE - could (and have)spend hours there. I somehow have way too many pictures of me on a hammock with a blue hawaiian.

Last trip we ended up in the bar at the boardwalk and the bartender there was just awesome. Really knew his stuff and super nice. My boyfriend ranks it as part of his top 5 of that trip.

Haven't been to AKL in years, will have to check that out. And the 50s Prime time, yeah we found ourselves in there a lot too. Oh and of course raglan road. That place just calls to me. ha. Yeah so :drinking1...

Absolutely- Ben and I are the only kids we have to worry about, so we can sample quite a bit! :cool1:

It's a fun site- they talk about the food at the different bars, too. Makes it easy to find the places you want to plan on spending some time!

ha. you're in good company :)

We will definitely have to check out the Boardwalk bar- sounds amazing!

Wouldn't be a vacation without a little indulging (or over indulging :laughing: )
 
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the fact that in just
Two Weeks I'll be in Disney.

My brain is not comprehending this, since a)I try not to talk about it too much at home cause Ben can't go :worried: and b)I'm so focused on the October trip, this one is just kinda sneaking up on me.

I do need to put some thought into what I am packing to make sure things fit and/or are not in need of some quality time with the washing machine. But that's a project for next week, cause I'll need something to distract me by then!

In other news, our weekends are officially booked through June now... I have a feeling this summer is going to fly by- which is fine by me since I want to go right from May to October, anyway!

Weeeeee! So exciting! I'll be there in 2 weeks from today. We are staying in OKW as well, despite what my ticker may have you believe :lmao:
 
Hey there! I haven't been over here in a while! I just wanted to stop by and say hello! I'm super jealous that you will be in Disney so soon! I'm so sure you will have a great trip, and I can't wait to hear about it! October is getting here faster and faster, and I'm getting more excited every day! It's finally seeming more real, now we can make ADRs! :)
I hope you have a great week!:goodvibes
 
Just getting caught up after a few weeks off from the DIS. Congrats on getting all your ADRs! Sanaa and Artist Point are two places we still have on our to-eat list. I'll be up early on Thursday morning to make our ADRs.

Two weeks!!!!! How exciting! :yay: Of course, I am totally jealous.
 
SO jealous! The two weeks will definitely fly-- and ahh, isn't the way it always is this time of year?? I literally have no idea when my next "relaxing" weekend will be!
 
Congrats on hitting the two week mark!!!:thumbsup2

I know what you mean about not wanting to talk too much about the trip. I catch myself going on and on about parts of my mother/daughter trip to DH, and I can tell it's something he does not want to hear.:confused3 At least you can talk about your October trip as much as you want, though!

I can honestly say that I wish this was me, and yes I waffle between wishing for October and hoping for summer here in Vermont. These two weeks will fly.
 
Yay for 2 weeks until Disney!!!! :yay::yay::yay::yay:

Less than that, now!

Chances are good we'll run into each other! Hope you have an awesome trip!

Once ADRs were made, I definitely felt the October trip was more real! It will be here before we know it!

Sanaa is SO good! And hopefully, Artist Point will be too. Good luck getting your ADRs!

SO jealous! The two weeks will definitely fly-- and ahh, isn't the way it always is this time of year?? I literally have no idea when my next "relaxing" weekend will be!

The next couple of weeks are pretty packed, so I am sure May 6 will be here before I know it.
I never get relaxing weekends- since I work most of them, any I take off are for specific reasons. It's the one thing I hate about my job!

Congrats on hitting the two week mark!!!:thumbsup2

I am definitely going to miss Ben on this trip, we just have a certain way of doing things... not to mention all of our inside WDW jokes. Once I am back from WDW this time, it will be all October planning, all the time!

I can honestly say that I wish this was me, and yes I waffle between wishing for October and hoping for summer here in Vermont. These two weeks will fly.

I am SO excited to be going so soon. It just doesn't feel quite real...

Summer should be a lot of fun, so I kinda want it to last forever but also hurry up and be over! I'm torn!
 
Yay 13 days now!!! :cool1: My trip is only 12 days away, I can't wait! It's so close and yet so far! It doesn't seem real, does it! :woohoo:

No, it does not feel real! I think next week will be when I finally get the full 'almost there excitement'. Once I start thinking about packing and stuff. :goodvibes
 
This isn't trip related, but I hope you don't mind if a share a life update!

It is very hard to believe, but today is our 2nd wedding anniversary!

Hope you don't mind if a reminisce a little...
