Pie That Brownie, Fruitcake! Updated Post #1832 - The End

so if I see that button around I can yell HEY I MADE THAT even though I won't have one on myself.

Of course! But why won't you be wearing one?

Cringe, cringe, cringe... I have Catherine's button.

I don't get mine till Oct 15 - it's in the temporary custody of very good hands.

To be fair, I did ask you if you wanted me to send it out to you before this first trip. I did make sure it's packed in my park bag.

I would love to hear if Jordan got any comments about your button, though.

The basket for your birthday treat sounds yummy . Hope you have a great day, not long now!

Well, here she is - this was taken last night. Notice the button is being proudly displayed already!

She is on her way to Epcot right now! They have a behind-the-scenes cast member preview today, too. I can't wait to hear what that is all about.

Brenda - I'm glad you ordered something special from the florist. I really think this is going to be your best trip yet!

That's a very cute picture and I'm pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say "we can't wait to hear about the CM preview"

and no one takes over either comedy, great writing and the most mouth watering food like you. Thanks for the smiles and all the calorie free drooling. I'm not supposed to eat sugars, but I haven't really accepted that yet, so reading your reports is a wonderful way to indulge in everything without gaining an ounce.

Happy Eating
Linda

Terrific picture and that button looks awesome!! Am very much looking forward to hearing Jordan's thoughts about what she was able to sample today. And we think this is going to be our best trip, too!!

so if I see that button around I can yell HEY I MADE THAT even though I won't have one on myself.

Sure, why not? I'm going to yell, "I plagarized that!!"

I've had a lot of catching up to do on your TR. I think the wine and cheese basket sounds very equitable...I try and disguise these gifties as "joint" things too. Its your bday, so you deserve it!

Hi Alison! Thanks very much for stopping in to take a read ... and as much as I love my hubby if I waited for him to order these things, even after providing explicit detail, he just wouldn't. So I take a little initiative and everyone is happy ... WDW; me; Jay; Discover Card.

Cringe, cringe, cringe... I have Catherine's button.

To be fair, I did ask you if you wanted me to send it out to you before this first trip. I did make sure it's packed in my park bag.

And to be more fair I was the one who sent it to Lori in the first place.

I would love to hear if Jordan got any comments about your button, though.

So would I!

Thanks Andrea! I hope to have lots and lots of great pictures to share with everyone once we get back.

Ditto!

Hi Linda! Thanks for the lovely comment. There will be plenty of sugar on this trip, more's the pity for my hips. I'll try to take some extra good pictures for you. Sorry to hear you had to give up the sweet stuff ... that would be a very tough thing to do.

Thanks everyone for taking a read! Getting very excited now that the Festival is open!

 

[Mrs. Charming]

Will do! That day, we will be a roaming mob of probably about ten people, I think. Just look for a lot of people with New Hampshire/Massachusetts accents accompanied by a big blond from the Midwest!

Haha awesome!! I'll say hey if we see you!!

I just found this thread! Goes to show you how much of a stranger I've been to my beloved Disney dining boards. Shame on me.

Super stoked for your upcoming report - I'm so on board this tasty train!

I know ... that birthday is getting very close for us, isn't it?

The 23rd ... we have a vodka seminar at 3:45 that afternoon. It should be over by 4:30. We have to head back to the BCV to get ready for dinner but since we have to leave through the international gateway and pass by the squishee booth in France we should meet there for a birthday slush, don't you think? Would 5PM work? Do you still have my cell phone number? I'll shoot you a PM just to make sure we're on the same page.

5 pm is great! We're going to take it easy on our 1st day... since we'll have been up since 3 am (Not looking forward to that, I'll have to say!) It'll be an early-ish night. I have your cell #, and will call you... can't wait for the slush (and the warm weather! it's like the arctic up here!!)

C. Marie!!! Where have you been hiding??? I'm so glad to see you here - I hope we are able to spin out one last set of fun and food-laden reviews for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned for last minute ramblings and chatter!

Thanks for joining us!

Alrighty then! I've got you penciled in on my DIS-friendie calendar ... if I don't hear from you, Jay and I will be at squishee stand in France by 5PM on Friday, October 23rd.

Have a happy happy birthday on the 17th!!!

You have a happy happy birthday on the 17th also! Wish I was going to be there for the party. Have fun!

 

[Timon]

Just wanted to pop in to say

Can I just say how excited I am?

Right after you guys leave, we leave! Looking forward to meeting up with you guys

And then I come home and I have your trippie to look forward to!

 

[mcarthur205]

Just getting onboard for your reviews Brenda! Sounds like you've got an exciting trip planned, there's nothing better than being at WDW on your birthday. I really enjoyed spending my birthday fun card at Mousegears in April.

Our next trip will be the F&WF in 2010 so I can't wait to hear all about the fun this year!

Hi CarolAnn ... thanks for joining the fun! I'm going to try to spend my giftcard at the Festival welcome center ... I'm sure I can find a ton of things to use it for.

You will love F&W - next year I'll have to read your reviews!

I'm in-late, but in!

Better late than never, my friendie; and you haven't missed much yet.

Hi Bendy Girl. I haven't been able to check in for a while. When are you headed out?

Hiya Sistah! We leave two weeks from tomorrow morning!

Y'all have a safe trip, and a wonderful birthday celebration!

After much thought and consideration ... equivalent to a single morning rush-hour drive from my house to the dim cubical where I practice my nefarious arts for the soulless dominions of finance (approximate time: 60 minutes) ... I too have decided to create my own rating system for our trip this fall.

I will not be using these for every food or beverage item that we try ... that smacks of effort. For the most part I'll be using them as an overall rating for meals / experiences, but I'm sure there will be instances where a specific item will be so memorable that it will deserve its own rating.

So, without further ado ...

For culinary and / or alcoholic nirvana, no one brings it home like Ren and Stimpy:

For good eats and drinks that leave us feeling fine and a little frisky, we have Batmanuel:

Dining experiences that are adequate, but which fail to make us forget that we are still proletarians, will get a nod from East Germany's favorite cat & mouse team - Worker and Parasite:

Something not quite right with a dish? Is your server pouring antifreeze instead of wine? Did that food booth snackable and or beverage turn your stomach inside out? Never fear, Jay Sherman's here:

Lastly, and let me preface this by saying that I hope we never have to roll this one out, we have the worst of the worst. This designation is for food and beverage that you wouldn't feed to your garbage disposal or service so bad it can only be described in terms of pure cussedness ... a situation so foul that we call upon the Mouth of Sauron to warn everyone away. His picture is bigger because he's got a lot to say.
