So...When is everybody going to F&W?

[OKW Lover]

OK, this is seriously messing with our plans.

We booked a 3-night cruise on the dream for 10/6-9 (Thur-Sun). We were thinking we would do F&W either before (10/2-6) or after (10/9-12), possibly a bit of both.

But, now we find that the Swolphin is doing their special event on 10/7-8. Last year's event sounded so good we wanted to do it this year. So now, do we change our cruise? And what about all our DIS friends that are going to be at WDW the first weekend of F&W?

Decisions. Decisions.

We'll be there on both sides of your cruise Jeff. You'll have fun no matter what you decide.

I'm going with my mom in October! This will be her first ever trip to WDW and I cannot think of a better time to go than F&W!

She's always talking about how she loves tapas and could subsist on that, so I think she'll really enjoy it!

We'll be there the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend - October 8th.

Decisions made! Results:
Moved the Cruise to 9/1-4
Doing WDW 10/1-10! Have OKW currently booked for 10/1-7, but will wait list BWV/BCV once we are inside the 7 month window. Expect to book Swolphin for the rest of the time so that we are there for their F&W Fest.

Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of our old (or perhaps I should say long-time) DIS friends during this time!

It would be great to see you and Alicia again....I see a slushie from France in my future!

We will look forward to that.

...and I doubt that we will stop at two.

We decided to wait this year and go down the October 12-17. We had invited some friends who farm so we thought the later the better. Have our reservations at AKL Value Studio (thought we could save some DVC points that way). Now I wish we were coming down earlier. Met OKW Lover last year and would love to see them again. We also attended a Sweet Sunday last year and really enjoyed it so we wanted to be there over a weekend to do that again. Hope some of you are coming down same time as we have planned. Should be a great time. We love F & W.

 

[wdwscout]

We've decided too.
Pop from 10/1-10/7 (giving the DVC a rest)
Swan or Dolphin from 10/7-10/9

Doing Epcot's F&W, MNSSHP and the Swolphin F&W Classic.

 

[OKW Lover]

Met OKW Lover last year and would love to see them again.

We would love to see you and Dana again too. Sorry we didn't manage to cross paths on PCC 2.0.

 

[BriarRosie]

I'm no longer going in October. No F&W trip this year. Europe is taking care of that for me. But you know that I'm going in December instead because you replied to my post on Facebook.

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

I was hoping to go for my first F&W this year but there's no discounts for the weekend I can go in October.

So for now, I'm booked to go in September. If a discount shows up for my October timeframe I'll change it. Otherwise, no F&W for me.

 

[sshaw10060]

Traveling in Sept/Oct is tough for me, so we are looking at 11/1-11-8. We could attend MNSSHP, MVMCP, and the last weekend of food and wine. I am bummed to miss the Swolphin event, but that just isn't in the cards.

 

[parrotheadlois]

We haven't booked yet, but we want to do the Swan/Dolphin event. I think we'll probably arrive the Tuesday before and will have to go home on Sunday cause I have to be at work that Monday. So I think that's Tuesday October 4th to Sunday, October 9th. We have flight issues since we fly out of Lehigh Valley (1 flight a day, not every day) and I'd like to stay at the Dolphin but may stay at BCV if the nights not included in the package are expensive since we're BCV members. So our plans are very planned yet.

 

[OKW Lover]

think that's Tuesday October 4th to Sunday, October 9th.

Don't know if you have Columbus Day (10/10 this year) off, but if so, that would give you another day at WDW!

 

[tinkbutt]

we are going the 2nd- the 9th!!! can't wait AKL from the 2-9 and the dolphin from the 7th - 9th!!!

 

[cdotla]

We will be there as well from 9/30 - 10/10, straddling btwn OKW and BCV. Plan on hitting the 5k Family Fun Run, MK's 40th, the W&D Half Marathon, and the Swan/Dolphin event. Wld love to attend a Dis meet!

We'll be there from9/30 to 10/8. Also planning on 5k, and the Swan and Dolphin event on the 7th and probably MNSSHP. Not sure yet where we are staying. Will know by the 28th when the 7 mos window for booking DVC opens up. Maybe we can do a meet the food and wine classic?

 

[doconeill]

Alas, it looks like several things will prevent us from making the trip at this point. Still have to look into it.

Hotel booked ... CHECK
Flight booked ... CHECK
Entered Race ... Still pending

Bill and I will be at WDW on September 29th - October 4th for F&W and we plan to do the 5K Family Run. NO KIDS!!!!!! We are staying at the BCV. It will be short walk to F&W. I can't wait! I saw that they aren't giving a free MNSSHP ticket with the race entry this year. When do y'all plan (if at all) to attend MNSSHP? Also, MK turns 40 on October 1st. Does anyone know if something special is planned at the MK that day (besides the 5K Race ).

I hope we can meet up with some fellow DISFriends while at WDW.
