Hidely ho, foodarinos!!!
Welcome to the newest of our Walt Disney World food adventures ... the one that wasn't supposed to happen this year and actually hasn't yet but will very shortly. We leave for WDW on October 8th and will return to Stinktown on October 17th - that's my birthday ... there should be some kind of law against having to leave WDW on one's birthday.
As usual I've planned out our meals to incorporate a mix of old favorites and scary new places. And as usual we plan on eating our way around the world showcase food booths. And as usual we've got a few special F&W dining events scheduled.
So who are we anyway? We're a couple of silly DINKS who like to eat and drink and laugh.
Oybolshoi: Brenda a/k/a Bendy ... I'll turn 39 on the day we leave WDW and will no doubt need lots and lots of cheese to make me feel better about it once we get home.
DH: Jason ... just a wee bit younger than his old crohn of a wife and a far more adventurous eater, too.
Now, I feel honor bound to warn you that the following plan may still be subject to change at the last minute. Without getting into any details that you'd rather not hear, I've been under the weather since mid-August and am on my third dose of antibiotics. Odds are that I'll still be on more than one kind of drug come October and that could mess with our dining plans, but I'm going to do everything in my power to eat twice my weight in food and drink way more than I should.
So, without further delay ... here's the ADR and pre-paid F&W line-up:

And did I mention all those F&W Festival booths?
We managed to sample food and / or booze at a total of 22 booths. Officially we missed four booths that were offering food, and two of those were by choice because nothing had changed from past years.
We were not on the dining plan, but did have the DDE card and didn't hesitate to use it! Also, those of you who thought we were supposed to dine at V&A are not crazy or imagining things - we had to cancel that reservation for this trip and now plan to dine there in October 2009 for my 40th birthday.
And finally and most important ... welcome to our reviews!! Thanks in advance for taking the time to re-live the food joy with us. We have a lot of fun stuffing our faces and drowning our livers on vacation and hope you enjoy reading all about it after the fact. Feel free to make comments or ask questions or whatever else you may like ... I love hearing from people and have made some wonderful DIS-friends thanks to threads like these.

about this - happy because I love me some oybolshoi food reporting, and sad because hubby and I had planned to be there too from the 13th to the 18th, but had to move to the trip to January.
Whatever... 
What would we read if you didn't??
But Brenda is older than me.
