The other day, I was going through a drawer and I found some wine charms we bought at EPCOT back in 2003 at the F&W Festival. They are mickey heads and engraved on the back say EPCOT 2003!!

I forgot I even had these.

Melissa, they look similar to what you are making.

Just wanted to pop in say "Greetings!" to my favorite group of PFTSers!

I can't believe the festival opens next week - woo hoo!!! I can't wait to hear what you think about it, Jeanne. Thanks again for offering to send the programs - I'm looking forward to planning things out even more once I see it!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I know!
We're heading out September 29th to do the preliminary check-out. This will be the first year that we manage to go more than once! Looks like we have at least 3 visits planned, which means I can sample EVERYTHING.
Well, everything vegetarian, anyhow.

Happy Friday, and to those of you on the same pay schedule as us, happy PAYDAY FRIDAY!

I must be on the same pay schedule! Hopefully I can use a little of it to have fun this weekend, before it all goes out again.

Is everyone getting excited?!!!!!!! I know I am!

Did y'all read that the tasting seminars are in the old Wonders of Life Pavillion this year? Sounds out of the way, but the lines are inside instead of waiting in the heat. So that will be good, hopefully make it worthwhile hoofing it from the WS to FW.

 

[yearbook50]

I'll let you all know in 10 days since thats when I arrive.

I was surprised about the festival headquarters being all the way over at the Wonders of Life Pavillion. I can't wait to see how they utilize the space. Waiting in the AC is going to be heaven.

I can't wait to hear from Jeanne/disneykid, they should have gone this past weekend!!!

 

[girli565]

Oooh, I'm so excited!! Only 16 days left... I think... This from a teacher, who can't count properly, lol, that's why I teach social studies!!

The pics of the food look wonderful! One question though... didn't the quesadilla in Mexico have chorizo & chicken in it the last few years?

We're excited too! We leave in 12 days!

And I totally understand the counting thing. What makes it worse in my case is that I work in finance / lending.

Yes, you are correct. The last couple of years actually, it was a chicken and chorizo quesadilla - one of our favorite snackies (along with some Dos Equus or a Fiesta Margarita). I hope they haven't changed it.

Ha, so now I don't feel so bad. Math was never my strong suit! Funny thing is I started out teaching social studies and now since I teach emotionally handicapped students I teach all subjects but really dislike the math and science aspect of it. Oh well, I am certified in all subjects now so that's a plus!!

I've been noticing that it says only chorizo in the quesadilla, which would be so disappointing. I have this unhealthy love for all foods mexican or Tex Mex so this is always my fave booth that we hit up like 3 to 5 times in a visit! I am buying the festival cookbook just for the chilaquile recipe, those things are sooooooo yummy ... and it doesn't hurt that all the other wonderful food recipes will be in it too!

Beckie, I've said the same thing on another thread! The only difference was " So much food AND DRINK and Soooo little time!!"

With all the math checks going on here I had to count my days on the calendar! And it's not 16 like my ticker says but only 15!!!! Probably cus we kept adding days on the front & end of the trip!

 

[girli565]

Well I'm just excited for a vacation!! I was just changed from teaching learning Disabled students to teaching Emotionally Handicapped students and I'm ready to cry at the end of everyday. They are so frustrating! And I know they are actually sick but it's just frustrating when a 14 year old child doesn't see why running around the cafeteria and throwing bananas is wrong! Especially frustrating when their parents don't understand the problem either!

Ok... vent over! So F&W Fest HERE I COME!!!!!!!! in 15 days, lol
