Yay I was thinking that no one would be down around the same time!! Where are you staying?

 

[Brocktoon]

I'll be down the same week. Just booked my air fare this morning. I'm only flying one way. I'll hitch a ride with the parents in the RV on the way back.

There's nothing better then arriving at the Fort from the airport, and having the RV already set up and ready to go. All I need to do is grab a nice cold beer from the fridge, and sit outside under the awning.

A big part of my week with be spent at the World Showcase during the F&W Fest. This will be my 3rd Fest ... '06, '07, and now '09

That sounds like a good plan..We are staying at POP...I am going down with my parents as well..but planning to split off and have time alone too...so if you want to meet up at all during the trip let me know!!

I have never been down during halloween time or F&W Festival and I am really excited to see the world at a different time!

I might be down there then. I had forgotten about the October meet, but I am thinking of registering for the ToT 5K run which is on the 24th. If I am feeling ambitious I may do the 13k instead. There is also a run in September I may do, the EE Challange, besides a 5K it is an obstacle course and scavenger hunt.

I'll be going on my first solo trip in Oct.! I'm going to be in the 5K ToT race on the 24th as well!. I can't wait, I'm so excited! I'm doing the happy dance right now I'll be in the land of Magic from the 21st-25th-

The real excitement for F&W Fest begins around the end of July when they start releasing the event schedules. There are a variety of free and pay events with tastings, demonstrations, celebrity chefs etc ... Yes I'm one of those Food Network geeks

Just a word of caution that the F&W Fest can get expensive. It's great drinking and tasting everything, but things can get a bit pricey. For me it's worth it though. I'm like a kid in candy store when it comes to all the international kiosks. And of course Sam Adams always has a special F&W Fest Anniversary brew on tap (I love my beer)

Cool, I also signed up for this but I am doing the 13K. It looks like it will be fun running through the park at night.

 

[dissybroad]

Yeah I can't wait! I was thinking of doing the 13k but decided maybe next time . I have never participated in anything like this at Disney so I'm really juiced! Have you ever ran in this race before? I know this is completely off the topic of the thread, sorry Shannon84

Yes sorry for the hijacking. But it does take place late October.... I have never done this but know some that have and they said it is a lot of fun. and the park is open for runners and their guests until 2am, I think. This will be the longest race I have run, but it will be a good warmup for January. I am signed up for the half.

I knew of some of the races but I didn't know they had so many! I think i might need one or at least someone to carry me to Star Tours afterwards! . I have never been to Disney solo so I'm excited but nervous-
