[Tink rules]

You're too funny! I knew I was going to spell madelaines wrong ... but they sure tasted good! Try them the next time you're in France!

You know after all these great trip reports and the future and soon to be up and coming food injestion... I'm renaming my right hip... BENDY!!! Cause it's all gonna end up there anyway!!!

 

[HPHammer]

Thanks for the reviews, Brenda -- I know how time-consuming it must be, but yours are some of the very best reading!

Have fun in Vegas!!!

 

[sunny04]

Thanks for all your time put into this report. I enjoyed reading it. Maybe we'll see you in October!

 

[WDW Fan]

Once again, a great trip report Brenda!!! I really enjoy reading all about your dining experiences and hearing about the beautiful deluxe resorts that you stay at. I'm sad that it's over but I'm happy to know that you'll be back to WDW this Fall for the F&W Festival again Hope you have a wonderful trip to Las Vegas and will look forward to reading about it on your Blog! Till then...

 

[honeybee30]

Another boss dining review, homeskillet!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Brenda and Jay - both for letting me live the F&W festival through you two. Maybe someday I will get there and will be able to enjoy all that goodness that I sometimes drool over when I'm reading. Until Fall, but I'll catch you on the other blog.

Laura

 

[A&A'sGrammy]

Thanks for your very unique view of everthing you ate and drank!!! Your word style is addictive!! I already have withdrawl pains! I can't wait until October for more Disney yummyness!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Brenda aka Bendy, I do not know what amazes me the most, your writing ability, your pictures or the fact that you eat all that stuff and can still fit in your britches at the end of the trip.

If what you have is catching, writing talent or metabolism, please send something infected, immediately!!!

Looking forward to meeting you one of these days.

[jeminni]

Great review Brenda, I really enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to your Las Vegas review, my DH and I will be going there next year. I can't wait to read your next review.

 

[Mic_n_Min]

Thanks for another awesome TR Brenda! Can't wait to read about Vegas on your blog!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I just had to post to say "Bravo Bendy, bravo!"

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your reviews, and apologize for not posting as much as I should have - sometimes shakin' with laughter prevents that, you know.

Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up.... YUM!!!!!!!

Brenda,

I second everything that SlightlyGoofy said!

Have a wonderful trip in LV. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
Stay well, both of you.

[zweihund]

Simply wonderful, Brenda.
Have a great time in Vegas, Boca, and finally Orlando!

And this time.....bring an extra battery for the cell phone

 

[oybolshoi]

Hey everyone ... thanks again for your wonderful comments!

I just finished the entire review from our dinner at Tony's last Saturday night ... it's the first post on the blog so check it out when you have time. It's a long one .... but what else would you expect from me?

Remember ... the link's in my signature!

Bendy out ... gotta pack!

 

[oybolshoi]

Thanks for the great report Brenda!

Thanks for coming back to read - I'm glad you've enjoyed it!

Even the earthquake gods are not happy your trippie is over!

Glad you're ok and hope your foundation is ok.

Thanks Sistah P! That whole earthquake thing was downright scary, but I think the basement is in good shape.

Right back atcha!

If you had been on stage I would being standing up clapping as you take your final bow...BRAVO BRAVO!

Thanks so much - you're making me blush!

Bravo, Brenda, for another fabulous food report! I really shouldn't read these so early in the morning . . . when I should be working . . . on a Friday . . . now I'm just hungry and disappointed that I'm not on vacation somewhere!

Truly, Brenda, thanks so much for all the time and effort you put in to share all the food love with us. Thank goodness you have more trips in the works!

Have a fantastic time in Vegas!

Hi Lori! Thanks for following along with us for so long ... I feel like I should be sending you a commission ... or at least a holiday greeting card.

We plan on having many great experiences in Vegas and are looking forward to sharing them with everyone. I just hope we manage to make it as fun as WDW.

I can't believe it's over! But I sure am glad you and Jay are okay--I wondered if you felt the earthquake when I watched the news this morning. We can't lose our favorite food critic!

Hey Jamie! Thanks to you too, for sticking with us through it all - I know it's been a long report. And we seem to have come through the shakes yesterday in decent shape ... we've got one crack and maye some slight damage to the roof over our porch. We'll have a better idea after we get an inspection.

Did you guys feel it at all?

I still say it's a crime to put mustard on fries--mustard belongs on pizza! All the offerings on your last day looked really good, it makes me sad that we'll miss F&W this year. We won't be on DDP so I could have actually tried all this stuff.

See you on the blog! (I'm really happy with the smilies today, aren't I?)

I've yet to try mustard on pizza ... maybe some day when I'm feeling really daring I'll try it and then PM you to let you know what I think.

Over! Say it isn't so!

Brenda, as always your stellar dining reviews have been so much fun to follow - I will miss them terribly. Thanks for the ride and I will definitely be watching the blog for your Vegas reviews. Have a great time!!

PPZ

PPZ!!! Thanks so much for reading along and remember ... next time when you see Jay and me stuffing our faces at WDW say hello ... we're harmless and we'd love to have a chance to meetcha in the real world.

And don't forget to come back and share your dining experiences with us once your next trip is over. I especially would like to hear about your dinner at V&A!

I have loved all of your reports and they have helped me make some dining choices and have finally convinced my DH to try the Party of the Senses and maybe a wine pairing or two!

Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into this report.

Hi Kathy - thanks for reading! And that's such great news about F&W for you and your DH. I hope that you both enjoy PFTS ... are you planning on attending this year and if so, which weekend? Jay and I will be at the 10/11 PFTS.

I always hate to see your reports end, can't wait for the next one! Excellent job Brenda!!!!

Thanks Kathy! I'll be looking for your reviews before we head back this fall and I know you've got some great places lined up. I'm hungry just thinking about your upcoming reviews!

wonderful trippie as usual Bendy! Can't wait to see what is in store for this coming October!

Shelley! Thanks for coming back to check our progress. Let's just keep counting down the days to that cruise next October and enjoy all the food that shows up inbetween, shall we?

I'm kinda sad this report is over, but I intend to read all your blog entries, so that should provide a little "dining report like no other"!

But I just had to say that the breakfast at Boma is absolutely scrumptious! Everything is so fresh, the coffe is great and the atmosphere is so different than the one at dinner! It might be one of the reasons why we're probably going to buy into DVC AKV... Food is a good reason to buy a vacation time share right???

Hi there! Thanks so much for reading and come on over and blog with us any time you want! That's great to hear about Boma ... we're really looking forward to trying their breakfast buffet after hearing so many great things about it here on the DIS. And I'm looking forward to trying a new pressed pot of coffee!

I've been a lurker on your TR since the beginning but now that it's over I wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed it. Drooling over all the booze makes me want to go and try the F & W festival one year. We're going during F & G festival in a few days and somehow looking at the flowers just doesn't seem like it compares to wandering around world showcase eating and drinking the whole time. BTW also love Plankton. The mickey hat is the best.

A lurker de-lurks! Thank you for reading and for letting us know you're here. I hope you get a chance to try F&W at least once - it's wonderful even if you never book any special events.

We went to F&G last year and we really liked it - we just found ourselves looking for all the food booths all the time!

And Plankton thanks you for your compliment ... he lost his mouse ears for the last time in October and is currently traveling with a nekkid head!

Another fantastic report Brenda and to end it off with some cheese, madelaines and a bottle of Fairy Tale Cuvee, it doesn't get any better.

I can't wait to read about the Vegas trip!!!

Thanks for reading Deb! I hope we have some good stuff to share with everyone once we get home next week.

 

[Tink rules]

Hey Brenda...

What do you do when Planky sends out for takeout twice a day???? I know... take away his to go menu...

 

[oybolshoi]

I'm so blue that the TR has finished. It's been so much fun but at least I know that after this trip the Scottish Whisky distillers can sleep easy in their bed's at night...consumption looks like it may be on the increase.

Thanks for sharing the fun and I'll look forward to your next TR.

Thanks for reading along with us and yes, be sure to let those distillers know that Jay and I are growing ever-more fond of their product!

I am sorry to say that it is not going to be this year, Brenda. We are headed there in September instead. Our dates are 9/27-10/1 for now. As much as I would love to stay until you and Jason arrive, I don't think our finances, and more importantly my students, will allow that!

We have never gone to F&W Festival at the beginning, so this ought to be interesting!

Well, it's too bad our trips won't overlap this time but there's always 2009! I'll be looking forward to reading all about your trip and hearing about F&W from the early bird you'll be this year.

It's over???!!! Awww, I think I need a moment......

Sniff, sniff.. Okay, I'm better now.

Another great one Brenda! You are the reigning Queen!

And I know we couldn't have enjoyed half as many dishes from ANY OTHER two skinny people!!!

Hi Sheryl! Thanks for reading and for the kind words ... you're making me blush.

Did I read that right? You will be back in the World this fall? Is that from fear of the Food Gods? It seems that plagues have been sent down upon your poor "stinktown". Flood waters & now earthquakes?! It must be a sign, Dear Brenda! That you will continue to bless us with many more wonderful food reviews. From Disney or anywhere else in the World! (yes, the real world too! Although Vegas isn't quite the Real World either, is it? ) I will be checking in on your blog. Can't wait to see & hear what Vegas has to offer!

Yes, you did read that right. We were able to pick up a WDW trip this fall due to some good fortune (and hard work) for Jay from his employer. He deserved a F&W do-over after the last trip, dontcha think?

I do hope to see you on the blog, and I hope I can manage to do a good job with non-Disney material! Thanks again for reading with us ... and when will you be in the world this fall?

You know after all these great trip reports and the future and soon to be up and coming food injestion... I'm renaming my right hip... BENDY!!! Cause it's all gonna end up there anyway!!!

Awwww, thanks ... I'm flattered!

Thanks for the reviews, Brenda -- I know how time-consuming it must be, but yours are some of the very best reading!

Have fun in Vegas!!!

Thanks so much for coming back to read even though you've been so busy - I really appreciate it! I hope you have fun when you're in WDW this summer and I hope you come back and share some food love with us!

PS. Pete says hi to Cowboy!

Thanks for all your time put into this report. I enjoyed reading it. Maybe we'll see you in October!

Hi Cassie! Thanks for reading and definitely say "hi" if you see us wandering around this Fall - it would be great to meetcha!

Once again, a great trip report Brenda!!! I really enjoy reading all about your dining experiences and hearing about the beautiful deluxe resorts that you stay at. I'm sad that it's over but I'm happy to know that you'll be back to WDW this Fall for the F&W Festival again. Hope you have a wonderful trip to Las Vegas and will look forward to reading about it on your Blog! Till then...

Thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to read along with us! Be sure to stop by the blog when you have time and say hello, and thanks for the good vacation vibes for Vegas!

Another boss dining review, homeskillet!

You are just one of the funniest peeps I've never met. I can't wait for your next reviews!

Brenda and Jay - both for letting me live the F&W festival through you two. Maybe someday I will get there and will be able to enjoy all that goodness that I sometimes drool over when I'm reading. Until Fall, but I'll catch you on the other blog.

Laura

Laura, thanks for reading! And some day you'll make it to F&W ... it just a matter of time! And please stop by the blog when you have time ... there should be some good stuff posted there very soon.

Thanks for your very unique view of everthing you ate and drank!!! Your word style is addictive!! I already have withdrawl pains! I can't wait until October for more Disney yummyness!

Thanks so much for the lovely compliment ... and thanks for reading! October will be here before we know it ... I hope!

Brenda aka Bendy, I do not know what amazes me the most, your writing ability, your pictures or the fact that you eat all that stuff and can still fit in your britches at the end of the trip.

Looking forward to meeting you one of these days.

Slightly Goofy/Linda

Linda, thank you so much for reading along with us and for your highly entertaining posts - you never fail to make me smile and sometimes laugh out loud while I'm at work. And thanks for the kind words ... I'll see if I can cough into a perfume bottle or something and ship it your way.

It would be a pleasure to meet you - please let me know if we ever have overlapping trip dates so we can meet up at Casey's for a dog on a horrid whole wheat bun.

Great review Brenda, I really enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to your Las Vegas review, my DH and I will be going there next year. I can't wait to read your next review.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope we'll be able to give you some good ideas for Vegas once we come back. And I'll be sure to post a notice here once we've got a review up on the blog.

Thanks for another awesome TR Brenda! Can't wait to read about Vegas on your blog!

Thanks for reading! And the blog will definitely have some tasty pics and hopefully good stories to go along with them!

I just had to post to say "Bravo Bendy, bravo!"

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your reviews, and apologize for not posting as much as I should have - sometimes shakin' with laughter prevents that, you know.

Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up.... YUM!!!!!!!

Tracy! I thought maybe I'd stopped being amusing, I haven't seen you around in so long ... Thanks for reading along with us and I'm glad to know it's been as fun for you as it has been for us!

Yum is right! I still can get that stupid song out of my head!

Brenda,

I second everything that SlightlyGoofy said!

Have a wonderful trip in LV. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
Stay well, both of you.

Deb

Thanks Deb! I hope to have some good stuff for everyone to read once we make it back next week.

Simply wonderful, Brenda. Have a great time in Vegas, Boca, and finally Orlando!

And this time.....bring an extra battery for the cell phone

Thanks Erica! It's always a pleasure to hear from you and I promise ... no misbehaving electronics will accompany us this October!

 

[DisneyJo]

We thought the fish was excellent - lightly battered cod served piping hot on a bed of french fries ... oops, sorry ... chips. And they're even better with cheap yellow mustard!!

Oh Brenda next time you must try your fish and chips with malt vinegar and tomato sauce

Thanks for all your great reviews Brenda

 

[honeybee30]

You are just one of the funniest peeps I've never met. I can't wait for your next reviews!

Touché.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Brenda, I do not think I have ever been so flattered. If I am able to make someone like YOU laugh I have accomplished something. Thank you for the kind words and I sure do hope we do meet up sometime. Just remember I am the big deaf lady with the big smile who looks like she is about to fall over.

I am going to be at DW from Aug 30-Sept 13th. Are we overlapping? If so we are having some big pool parties over at the POP Century. You would have a ball with all those wacky, ummm I mean, interesting ladies. I am the only normal one there. Scary thought is it not?

Slightly Goofy who is far from normal and is proud of it.
