Hi,
Don't know if you remember me from last years trip at Pop (hubby and I were in
ECV's and power chairs), but I wanted to offer this if you want both free dining and the festival. I don't know if you have commented on this, but I lost count when the pages were in the 6 or 700's, so I apologize if this has been covered.
We stayed longer than most of you, we checked out on 10/9, so we might have seen more problems than you have.
We found that first off, we were too full to even try the festival foods, even if we had used our snack coupons. It was much more crowded in EPCOT than we had seen after numerous trips there since it opened. It was harder to get around the weekend locals who came in flocks (and why not?) We just felt that we could not enjoy the benefits of both food events to the fullest.
We raced down to CBR (first time ever in a mod) three days before Christmas to take advantage of the bounceback. Never dreamed DH would make the suggestion to drive down for just one night to book. Woohoo hubby.
Anyhow, we are booked from the 10-20 of Sept at POP. I really prefer it to at least, CBR. I think we may hit the love bugs, but...we lived in Fl for many years, and we can deal with them. Hopefully we overlap some of you, so we can say hello again, but I doubt that MommyMichelle won't be my next door neighbor two years running.
Hope you all get your dream trips,
Leslie
