Sad to hear about the food going down. It would be interesting to see how downhill / prices up it would need to go for people to stop going as much. Food & Wine gets so busy, it's def my least favorite festival at this point.
I definitely prefer Flower and Garden but at this point with essentially year long festivals it just isn't as special as it used to be.
These costumes are AMAZING! Good idea Casey!
Thank you!!! She did great!
So nice that you got down for a quick weekend!! Wish it wasn't so complicated to do that right now!!
I certainly feel for you all. I had no idea it was as complicated as it is to travel here.
Man...to each his own but...I can't imagine drinking a while cup of that stuff...
I'm with you. But he loves the stuff. When he ordered the Beverly drink the guy at the counter was actually trying to convince Jason not to order it
I so want to do another weekend trip myself...but think I'll wait until the weather here in MD makes me want to escape again. The weather here right now is pretty good wouldn't you say?
I so know what you mean. It certainly wasn't fun going into hotter weather. But since we got back you are so right our weather is divine. We went apple picking today and I'm actually sitting outside now sipping some wine and its perfection.
I love the country bears so so much so your costumes are so adorable! My kids won't step foot in Country Bears any more which makes me sad.
Thank you. I sure hope Casey never outgrows Country Bears. She has such an old Disney soul and loves all the retro rides. I cannot fathom if she would ever outgrow it.
have to say I'm not totally surprised about your Food and Wine experience...I feel like it was like that when we went for Flower and Garden as well.
Maybe it was because we had just done Flower and Garden but the year round festivals certainly don't have the allure that they once did
Well we may be trying to make our way into DC again this weekend. A good friend of my SIL who lives in NC lost her dad to COVID this year and there is a huge display of flags for all the people who have lost their lives in DC and I said I'd try to locate the flag she has there for her dad since she can't make it there herself.
I'm so sorry to hear that but hope you were able to get down there. I saw it on the news and it looks like beautiful way to remember so many people.
Best resort on property but I might be biased. :0
Not biased at all. Just a sign that we share tremendous taste.
The best lounge on property, bar none! Did you have Rob or Crystal as your server?
I don't think we did. Our service was fine, but nothing memorable.
Mushroom is actually a good "unami" taste.
No mushroom is just a mushroom taste and one that I do not like
Those costumes are amazing! I love them. I am with you on Wilderness Lodge, we love it so much we ended buy into Copper Creek several years ago and I couldn't be happier about it.
Thank you! It had been 5 years since Casey and Jason had stayed at WL and it was so much like a homecoming. We've toyed with looking at DVC. Not in the financial cards but if we did I'd be lining up at Boulder or Cooper Creek.
You guys are #DisneyGoals
❤
We will be here on Wednesday and I cannot wait!!!!!
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!! Hope you all have a great trip.
I heard about this. Jason is definitely a keeper. What a sweetheart!
He is!!!! I'm hard to surprise but he pulled it off.
You all looked amazing!!!!!
Thank you!!! We had so much fun.
So happy you had a good trip! Your costumes are amazing. Casey is a genius!!!
Thank you. She clearly gets it from me
I have not yet tried the pig ear salad but hope to next week. I have been lucky enough to visit a few times since the festival started (in July!!!) and I have to agree with you that so far I've found things kind of lackluster.
I think it is just festival overload. Everything is fine, but nothing is spectacular and there really doesn't seem to be much difference between food and wine and flower and garden these days.
SO excited to hear how much you enjoyed Citrico's. We have an ADR there coming up and I have been eyeing the hamachi.
So happy you get to enjoy it too. Please let me know what you think. Hope its as wonderful for you as it is for us
