Hello All!
Me, my BFF Becca and her darling fiance are going to WDW Oct 6th to 12th. When we booked the bounceback, it was originally going to be from Oct 1st to 12th. No kiddos this trip! No complaining....."we're going to EPCOT AGAIN!" Just lots of adult beverages, knoshing and people watching. I swear I could not ask for a better birthday present :yes:
Unfortunately, we don't have that much vacation time. Boo Hiss.......:thumbsdown:
I told Rebecca to go ahead and plan the ADR's to wherever she wanted to go cause I didn't care. Well, plan she did! We are eating more places than we have dining credits for! :tongue: Plus we want to eat all the goodies at the Food and Wine Festival.
Maybe I should walk to Orlando? :unsure: That way I'll be able to fit in my pants when I go home.
Anywho...we're staying at Pop Century and we have FREE dining again!! I actually had a free ticket from AirTran so life is very good.
My birthday is on the 10th, so I will be taking myself to Guest Services to get my merchandise voucher. What shall I buy? OH! maybe I will buy myself that ADORABLE! Precious Moments figure of Belle and Beast :yes:
What we have planned:
Tues, Oct 6th- Flying Fish Cafe. We've never been here!
Wed, Oct 7th- Biergarten for lunch. Ticky tocky, oi oi oi!
'Ohana for dinner
Thursday, Oct 8th- Liberty Tree Tavern for an early dinner and then MNSSHP
Fri, Oct 9th- lunch at Le Cellier
Dinner at Yachstman Steakhouse.
I think we shall call this MEAT DAY! :tongue:
Sat, Oct 10th- MY BIRTHDAY!!
Breakfast at 1900 Park Faire with uscwest & wdgrandma and hopefully Wendy and Chris
Dinner at Le Cellier
and I swore Rebecca told me we have an ADR somewhere else on this day.....but I don't seem to have it on my list.
We shall call this FOOD COMA DAY :unsure:
Sun, Oct 11th- Dinner at Kona Cafe
Mon, Oct 12th- We go home to the land that doesn't have Mickey Mouse and won't take my KTTK card to get a snack :thumbsdown:

I hope you will enjoy the Flying Fish Johnie, it`s on our list again this trip as usual.:thumbsup:
There is a comfortable lounge/bar on the floor above the FF should you want a pre-dinner tipple and do a spot of people watching. A nice place to kill a bit of time if your table isn`t ready when you arrive and they give you one of their buzzer thingies.

A week from tomorrow :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
Gonna start packing today since I have the day off....does anyone ever notice how much easier it is to pack when you're not packing for kids?
Johnie
28-09-2009, 06:57 PM
:tongue: of course I do, that's why Alysia has been packing for herself since she was 11. She's also been washing her own clothes since before that. Truly I'm not lazy....just making her self-sufficient :yes:
I cannot wait to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It s almost here! Have a fantastic time Johnie.

The time has come to say goodbye to all my company......:tongue:
Well I am off to the beach for a work conference Sun through Tues. So I decided to make it a long weekend :yes: Unfortunately I had to pack two bags :thumbsdown:
And then Tues, I am on a plane headed to WDW for my birthday! I don't know why I am so excited about this birthday.....I'm not getting any younger :unsure:
I should be around this weekend, not so sure how often I will be on the rest of the week.
