I was very late to this DR... Started and finished reading everything today! Loved every update and all your experiences! A 17 day trip! So jealous!
As I was reading, I kept telling my DH... "We need to go here" or "why don't we try there".... Needless to say, we have a lot of places to try!
The plan for your fall trip looks great... Convincing your DH to go to tea! Good job! I've been working on that too...
You have our current favorite restaurant on you list... Narcoossee's!!! YUM!! I've never had the almond cheesecake there though, but thanks to your review I am next time!
Thanks for the enjoyable read!
Thanks so much for joining in!
There are just too many great places to try and fit in all in one trip. We skipped so many places even during a 17 day trip. I think I need at least one full month there next time.
I wish!
I finally talked him into tea! He had the flu a couple weeks ago and was unbelievably sick. I took such good care of him and he was so appreciative that he said he would gladly go to tea with me as a thank you.
I am really torn right now on Narcoossee. I want to go, because we haven't been there for a full meal in quite a few trips, but I am also considering trying Citricos. I'll probably flip flop between the two for the next 6 months.
I have absolutely loved reading your report! What a wonderful trip you two had. 17 days! I would love to be there for 17 days during F&W. And I do remember seeing some of your posts on Barb's live thread. We love F&W time. Can't wait to be going back again this year.
Thank you for the awesome TR. Can't wait to see your final dining reports.
Thank you so much!
I am really looking forward to our F&W day in September. And we just found out that my SIL and her boyfriend will be arriving in WDW on that first F&W day, so we'll get to spend the day there with them which will make it extra fun. Not trying to wish away the spring and summer, but I can't wait for this trip!
Subbing! I love your report! I clicked through each F&W link. We're heading to our first F&W fest in October, although we won't have nearly as much time as you did. Thank you for all the details and pictures. I'm even more excited now. I will show some of these to my DH after he gets off work. He's going to die over the Wildmushroom Beef Filet from Canada. It looked so tasty! Thank you again for a great TR!
Thanks so much for joining in!
There is just not enough time to enjoy everything at F&W. As long as the menus stay fairly similar to last year I'll at least have an idea of what I must try this time with my one day. I definitely have a few booths I know I can skip. I can't wait for them to release the menus so I can start plotting it out! I hope you and your DH have a wonderful time there in October!
I love your shirt, Jeri!
Also, congrats on completing all 30 booths of the F & W festival. I think you and Rob were the only reporters for the live thread who made it to all 30. Bravo!
Also, I think your dining plans for September look great. I just wish they were for about a month later, like the last week of October when I will be there.
Thanks Barb! I still can't believe we were able to try so much stuff at the festival!
I know, I wish we were going later too! I swear, one of these times I am going to coordinate to finally meet all of you wonderful folks.
By the way, I still have your number in my phone and then my new boss at work gave us her direct work line in case we needed to call out because of all the snow storms the last couple of months. Well, her name is Barb too and I have both of you listed in my phone only as Barb. I almost accidentally called you at 6am a few weeks ago to tell you I couldn't make it to work because of the snow.
I realized it wasn't the right Barb a moment before I went to call the number. I don't think you would have cared to hear about my snow situation that early in the morning.
Needless to say, there is now a clarifying WORK* next to the other Barb.
I have so loved your report, and as for your upcoming ADRs, I can only say "I feel another trip report coming on!!"
Thanks so much for reading along this whole time! There will definitely be another DR! I love writing these. I get to relive the trip all over again. I was just finally able to put in for my time off at work, so it's finally real! A whole week at BLT is going to be heaven.
Hey Jeri! So SAD that your report is done! I know I've not been commenting much but I HAVE been reading along. Your trip must have been great! I bet you are happy that you will get at least a day of F&W in September!
Yes.. The "stamp of completion" really should be something a bit more than that! It's actually why we didn't complete our passport cause I mean.. really its a LOT of money to do that! A pin would be a nice touch!
Hi Paula! I'm so sad I only have two updates left.
I am so looking forward to our F&W day! I don't know how I'm going to fit it all in. You know how people always say on here that they see other people puking in bushes during F&W? We all assume that it's caused by too much alcohol, but maybe sometimes it's just people like me who only have one day there and they are trying to eat too much rich food all in one day.
I don't even want to THINK about how much money we spent at F&W.
That completion stamp cost us more money than I care to admit to myself. Don't think that will be happening this trip. It would be pretty much impossible to hit all 30 booths in one day. Or would it...
Jeri, you guys are awesome
Well done on completing every single booth.
I am a little ashamed to admit that DD and I visited even fewer of the booths at Flower & Garden than we did at Food & Wine. I am pretty gutted about it, even now, since there were so many items I wanted to try. We just didn't seem to have enough time or be hungry enough at the right times. Looking forward to more updates, although not looking forward to it being over.
F&G looks like it has some wonderful offerings! We were there for F&G 3 or 4 years ago (I'm losing track) and they started the food offerings the following year. Bummer. Not sure if we would really go during that time of year again, but I would love to check out the food.
I don't want it to be over! I need this as an outlet so I don't drive Rob insane with my obsessive Disney planning for a trip that is still 6 moths away.
