[tony64]

Nice Food, shopping and drinking, really wish we were keeping you company.

Have a great trip and I hope you manage a full trippie report as I'm looking forward to reading that one.

I was just reviewing our itinerary today, Kev, and noticed that I'd got it scheduled in for one evening. Striking it through felt like sacrilege.

For old time's sake:

Kungaloosh, I had forgotten about this picture, I just printed it off, and stuck it on my little board at work, it makes the unbearable place a little more bearable

Debbie and Jules (and Tammy), when I looked at this photo I thought "Where am I?!!" and then I remembered the itinerary for that trip and know that I was up to my neck in little kids here in the school library while the bunch of you were hooting around having a good time at the Adventurers Club. I believe I arrived about 36 hours later to join the party. That's how close we came to meeting, Jules! It's times like this that I realize just how much this job cuts into my fun.

Sounds as though you are both going to have a wonderful time

Lovely pre-trippie, Deb. The hotels look fabulous. Have a wonderful time both of you.

 

[brer_rabbit]

Hope you both have a great trip! I'm there at the same time (although staying in Bradenton so only a couple of night at WDW).

Lets hope we have great weather and low crowds

It just goes to show that you SHOULD write a TR Debs, as I want to know whether we are going to SSR with free dining, or CSR/POFQ with upgraded free dining next August, already booked RPR to finish and flights...but I have to decide by beginning of November....blow and bother.

I'm sure you will be hopeless with no companions to guide you on your route.....

 

[florida sun]

Brilliant pre-trippie my friend, and looking forward to a full one when you get back as well

 

[mark&sue]

ah Saratoga Springs you just can't go wrong with that stagger back from the Raglan Road pub.

Have a great time. Wish we were going too!


Susan

we fly on the same day!!!! who are you flying with?
we are only staying till the 12th though trying to get time off work at the same time for two nurses working in defferent departments is like trying to get blood out of a stone .
Were staying in the yotel the night before i really wanted to try this hotel and were on a bit of a limited buget. if you see us well be the two slighty childish 28 year old who can't contain there excitment (i so can't wait to get back to disney). i've been planing this trip for over a year

Sounds like a great trip you have planned Deb

We absolutely loved the IF & W Festival, and spent 2 nights there eating and drinking around the world! I'll try to get reviews sorted before you leave - but in case i dont you have to try the Beef Empanada from Chile - Absolutely amazing!!!

To be fair everything we had on both evenings was amazing, but that was the stand out!

And tell Matt to try the Moosehead beer from Canada and the Ichiban Beer from Japan!!

We're flying with Virgin, you'll have the advantage here as Deb's posted pics, best place to find us will be at or near the bar in the V-Room and from then on at or near a bar in WDW which will come as no surprise if you've come across my pre-trip report

 

[Boss Hogg]

And tell Matt to try the Moosehead beer from Canada and the Ichiban Beer from Japan!!

Thanks for the pointers Raph, I have already sampled both of these brews on a number of occasions, but will certainly be doing so again, and again, and again...

I have said in my pre-trip report that I am open to suggestions of what to drink so I shall add these after the coconut/umbrella drink request from Kev and other cocktail-y things

Thanks for the recommendation, Craig.

As I mentioned in my original post, we organised this trip around the IF&WF and had hoped to be at an Epcot resort for our first 5 nights. Having been on the waitlist since the 7 month window, we'd resigned ourselves to being at SSR. Yesterday was the very last chance for anything to come through on the automated waitlist and we made the decision not to bother phoning daily over the next week. Well, Matt just logged on and our reservation was changed to the BoardWalk yesterday! Having done the same thing every morning for 7 months, we're struggling to believe our eyes.

So, that's 5 nights in a BoardWalk studio (not BW view, but we can live with that), 2 nights at Royal Pacific and then back to WDW in a one-bed at SSR for 7 nights.
