Hello Everyone, welcome to my pre-trip report for my upcoming Food and Wine adventure. I shall be enjoying the World, Food and Wine and possibly MNNSHP in late Sept/early Oct 2008. So without further ado I shall name the cast of characters for this most exciting trip.

Me - Just call me Sleepy, I am a 27 yo Disney nut who also happens to be a former CP.

Big Sis aka Doc. She will be 29 on this trip and loves to plan and take charge of things.

Also joining us are:

Mom aka Happy. She loves going to Disney and this will be her first trip since 2002 when I did my CP

Dad just call him Grumpy. This is also his first trip since 2002.

There are two who will not be joining us on this trip however and they are:

Little brother - just call him Dopey. He says he hates Disney. I don't know where we went wrong with that boy. He obviously did not come from the same gene pool. :sad2:

Little bother's girlfriend or as we will call her Snow White since she doesn't fit any of the dwarves personalities.


Now onto the fun stuff like where we are staying. On past trips Doc and I have been very budget minded and have stayed at AsMU. This year however since we were lucky enough to get the Bounceback Free Dining we have decided to upgrade and stay at POFQ. Doc has never stayed there before bu myself along with Happy and Grumpy stayed there in 2002 and we loved it. The resort is smaller than the other Mods and very nicely laid out and lanscaped. I love how it's no more than a 5 min walk from the furthest building to the busstops and food court. Happy and Grumpy have their own ressie and did not get Bounceback so we are hoping for free dining to come out in April like it did last year.

For tickets we have 7 day MYW parkhoppers. We love to hop. It is so much fun to spend the morning and part of the afternoon in one park, go back to the resort to rest and then hit another park for fun and dinner.

Of course we are all on the DDP. We love it even with the changes. We like how we don't have to worry about paying for most of our meals and it really helps us budget things.

In future posts I will be adding our itinerary as we work it out along with new things that we want to do this trip and old things we want to do again. I shall also include restaurants and CS locations we plan on eating at. So stick around. It should be alot of fun.
 
Hey Sleepy, great start :goodvibes :goodvibes DH and I have been there during the wine a food festival before, we had a blast! :drinking1 We just love Epcot. Looking forward to your posts...I will be posting a PTR soon too, I'm a little nervous about it. It will be my first!

Don't be nervous...this is my first PTR. I have been to Food and Wine the past two trips I have taken and I love it. When I did my CP it was during the fall so I got to do Food and Wine over and over again. I could never tire of it.

Welcome to my report!
 

Your trippy is the perfect size. Keep them all short. When they get too long, people who read a lot of reports will tend to skim it.

Gud job. :thumbsup2
 
Nice start. Already getting tips from Buzz, good job. :thumbsup2 Can't wait to hear about the F&W fest. Have not been to it. I might think about it for the future if the crowds aren't too bad. :banana:
 
Hello! :) Looking forward to more! I have a question confession to make though...I was hoping to pop over for more info about you. Right now Im reminded of the SNL skit "It`s Pat!" and with all your posts on the same threads as me. I keep seeing you as the guy in your avatar!! Help ME!! :lmao:
Pleeease? :flower3:
 
We just may see you there. DH and I alsways go there at that time.

The cutie in my avatar is one of the Atherton Twins from Cirque du Soleil Varekai. I don't know if it's Kevin or Andrew as they are identical and I can't tell them apart.

To everyone else...welcome and thanks for stopping by. In the next couple of days I will post how this trip came into being while Doc and I were still on our last trip.
 
Great start! We'll also be there at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. It'll be our third trip for F&W and we can't wait!
 
I have some great friends, really I do. But I don't think they understand my Disney obsession. I am rarely so obsessed about things, except perhaps Star Wars, Harry Potter and stuff like that.

I have this great friend that I actually met at a Harry Potter convention type deal. This was back in 2006 in Las Vegas. We were both hanging out in the entrance area to where the convention was being held and got to talking. Eventually we found out that we lived within 15 min of each other. Talk about coincidence. So we return to the real world and kept in touch. Oftentimes I would go to her house to play games and watch movies with her family.

So we met in July and in October my sis and I made a trip to WDW. Her first trip back since 2001 and my first time back since my CP. There is a point to this story...trust me. We get back and I am telling her and anyone who would listen about my trip. Met a friend of a friend of hers and turns out he was a CP too. But that has no bearing on our story.

Fastforward to April and free dining. My sis makes a reservation to go back for her birthday. I am excited and tell my friend. She is like, "Wow, that's great."

Get back from our free dining extravaganza and again I am telling anyone who will listen about my trip and I mentioned we were going back on 08 and she said, "You are going AGAIN?!!???" She just doesn't understand. If it were a Harry Potter convention she would understand but she does not understand Disney. And I even got her son presents on both my trips.

I am working on her son though...trying to teach him to say, "Mommy...I want to go to Disney World."

So that is how my report got it's name.
 
We are going to the F&WF later on in Oct. and staying at POFQ as well. It will be great to hear your plans as we plan. :goodvibes
