Exactly, why didn't they tell you about this second option? glad there's an option though.

 

[jedijill]

Ughghghgh I hope you hear soon! And it's friday! How aggravating that you didn't get ALL the information and instead had someone deciding what they thought was in your best interest. GRR!!!

 

[Linda67]

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to hear about your house!

Sending good luck from England

I second that another good luck from England. It might be easier to build you own! With a 50% deposit why not!

 

[Leshaface]

I've been SO busy today, but I knew you were going to hear an answer on the house, so it's the only reason I got on. Consider yourself lucky

I'm praying that you'll be getting what you want today!

 

[franandaj]

Yes start a new thread...just for the house you see I only have 2 of your threads I'm reading ( this & the D23 upcoming) and you can get around the Dis connection by calling it " Road to the perfect DisMeet" as this will be THE place to meet when all is said and done

Hell even I who HATE to fly will get on the longest flight in my life to get to CA for the housewarming

Well if you count the number of thread Kimmar067 has started and the number of people following them, I'm nothing!

It gets even better.

Just wait! It gets better!

Thanks for you good wishes! You're going to have to wait a little longer!

That was the idea with the remodel on 1st street! With land prices in Long Beach we can't afford that!

I feel lucky. Hopefully tomorrow I will be equally as lucky!

So I've started a new thread on the Community Board. If you want to hear about the house, you'll need to join over there. If you really want to know what it going on and can't wait to read about the background, scroll down to number 6.

If you've been following everything here, you'll get the latest news at #6

Here is the link.

I noticed in your itinerary that you are avoiding the F & W kiosks at the weekend? Am I interpreting this right or is that just coincidence. You say it will be mobbed by locals. Being a newbie to F & W and we can go any day is it best to pick a weekday? Do you guys do the kiosks for lunch? That's what Jo was thinking. Me my special diet not possible but will bring something with me so I can enjoy it through her! Might be the odd thing I can eat!

Are you on the F&W thread? All reports say to avoid the kiosks on the weekends. The lines are very long and by mid day to evening, especially Saturday, many people are drunk and it's just no fun. Definitely plan on hitting them for weekdays.

Here was our experience. We went in 2009. I wanted to try just about everything at every kiosk. We had dinner ADRs but went to the F&W festival every weekday. We would split all the plates and each kiosk had 2-3 offerings. We would eat things from about 3-4 kiosks and both of us would be full. We would ride something like Ellen's Energy adventure or the American Experience, and then get hungry enough to do another few booths.

It was a mistake to have all those ADRs because we were never hungry for the whole week. This time we only have ADRs for the days we plan on doing other things, or because we want to share the time with the friends we are meeting. Soon I plan to post my hopes and plans for the second full day.

Thanks that is useful info! I will check out that other thread also oh no re drunk folks don't fancy going around people staggering across my path on my scooter! It's bad enough as it is. I try to avoid people but my scooter seems to be a person magnet people just migrate towards it!

we also have avoided the F&W kiosks on the weekend, just way to many people...

 

[Luvchefmic]

you could not pay me to go to F & W on a weekend..it is unofficially known as F & D...Food and Drunk nope not going there NOT a pretty sight

 

[sarahk0204]

Yep, those funny Americans

We thought it was funny that whenever DH ordered coffee at Starbucks or McDonalds or wherever they'd always get his name wrong. We didn't think our accents were that strong I found it easier to shorten my name for orders.

Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards

Actually, we've had names in our family gotten wrong by Starbucks, and we're from the Midwest, which isn't supposed to really have an accent. Sometimes, it's the Starbucks baristas that are the problem, rather than a cool accent...

I see that Allison actually commented the same thing pages ago. Great minds, right?

 

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

Lol re Food & Drunk.


Starbucks get our names wrong in the UK also. But then a bit like the DCL announcements where I find it amusing to come up with a different family name for us ( this year we are The Drapers...love Mad Men ) I give a different name now anyway. Last time my earl grey was for Frank and Jo's hot chocolate was for Weenie. I was hoping they would call it as 'Frank ' n 'weenie' ...

I know exactly what you mean. PIO had a very eye opening experience when she went to DL with me last year. We weren't even halfway through our day when she said, "People don't see you down there, do they?" "And they are always cutting in front of you." She didn't realize that scooters don't have brakes which is really important when little kids jump in front of you playing chicken!

They have finally released the full kiosk menu for the Food & Wine Festival


Check it out here!

I don't have much time to comment, but I am deeply saddened. My favorite molten center chocolate cake is no longer available! They have replaced it with a Chocolate Pudding, which I don't see how it could be nearly as good. Most everything else looks just about how I expected it. Lots of good eating to be had!

[jedijill]
