I know some of you are keeping track of my pre-trip but I've been getting addicted to everyones dining reports so I think I'm going to be doing one of my own just for all you foodies out there. :thumbsup2

My mom and I are heading down to the world for my birthday 9/26-10/3 on the Deluxe Dining Plan. We KNOW it's a lot of food but we mainly got it due to being able to sit down in AC and relax throughout the day. Mom gets tired easily so taking our time is our motto for the week. We're not ones to go back to the hotel and bum around though. Also, since it's during free dining, you can't really pass up 3 TS meals for $32 each a day, right?

So who's the picky eater? My mother! :eek: She's a tiny little thing that only eats because she knows she has to. NOT because she enjoys food. :sad2: I don't understand how I'm related to her. Also, she's pretty much a vegetarian. She'll eat shrimp and filet of sole/flounder...but that's IT in terms of 'meat'. No beef, no chicken, nada. And another thing? She's not into trying new things. Or anything that's spiced differently. Oh...and no alcohol.

Me, on the other hand, will eat until it hurts. If I love what I'm eating, I'll keep eating it. It's bad. :) I LOVE food. I love trying new things. I love going to new restaurants. I thoroughly enjoy eating, especially with a perfectly paired glass of wine. I will eat almost anything, except seafood. I do try it all the time but I just don't have the taste for it. :confused3

Obviously my mother and I are complete opposites so this should be entertaining. :)

We'll be trying a few new places and as always, eat at the trusty ones we love too. We're also going to be there for the Food & Wine Festival so somewhere in between ADRs we have to figure out a way to use up those 28 snack credits!

Here's the list of places we have ADRs for. I keep wanting to play around with the online system some more and tweak the times/places but honestly? I think it's pretty perfect for us already.

As I write the reports I'll update this post with a clickable link to the actual post. If it's new to us (well, if we haven't gone there in over 10 years), I'll include a * next to it.

Thank you! :) I just read your most recent dining review and now I'm hungry. That panini at Tutto has me wanting to drive to the Italian deli right now for dinner...hmmm...not a bad idea :thumbsup2
 

Woohoo, a glutton! You're one of us!

:banana::banana::banana:

Not that I would know anything about gluttony, mind you.

Looks quickly at my signature pics.

Oh. :rolleyes1

LOL, after eating that I was on a panini kick for a while, wento Costco and bought all the fixings and DH and I pigged out for a few days on these wonderfu sandwiches!
 
Woop! I'm in.. My NJ born and bred DH and I will be at POFQ the same time as you :) 9/25 - 10/2.

I'm in. Looks like a good line up. Have a great time we'll be there 9/30-10/11.
 
Interesting line up ... I look forward to reading about it once you get back. :thumbsup2
 
Sounds great. We're trying DxDDP for the first time in August. We'll let you know how it goes.
 
You have made some great choices, and I can't to read your reviews when you get back.
 
I'm in - great lineup! We'll be eating at many of the same places in December. I can make my ADRs the first day of your trip so we will count down together! :goodvibes

Thank you! This morning when i first saw your post i also saw the link in your sig from your last trip. We have very similar tastes...especially the no seafood (well hardly any for you guys!) thing. Loved everything you guys had! Seemed like a perfect trip and love that it was just you two :)

Thank you so much! It was very special for me to have the time with him. We are trying to branch out in the fish & seafood department. Have been trying some new things but just haven't liked anything yet. But at least we are trying!
 
I thought I had posted on here, but I guess I am mistaken :scared1:. Well, I'm here now. I feel your pain with the picky eater, I too am the one who will try anything at least once. Boy, our trip is going to be different now that Dale will most likely be on a special diet :rolleyes1.
 
We will be down at beginning of your trip. It looks like you have some good restuarants picked out. I wonder about Kouzzina-I can't wait to read your review. I would like to try it next year with my hubby.
