Today we continued our journey, eating our way around Epcot. CANADA “Le Cellier” Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle Butter Sauce – This was delicious! Nice tender, melt in your mouth beef, lots of mushrooms, and who could turn down truffle butter? GREECE Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki – Such a tiny taste made it hard to evaluate. The tzatziki sauce overwhelmed the luke-warm chicken. And, unfortunately the bread was dry. Spanakopita – Nice and warm, flaky outside, tasty inside that was not mushy. Griddled Greek Cheese with Pistachios and Honey – Good thing there was honey and nut

Thursday was the soft opening for Disney’s Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Come on along as we start a journey around the world with stops in many countries for some (we hope) fantastic food. Cast members, their families and friends were encouraged to attend. Official welcome to the festivities First we had to purchase our “thing-a-ma-bob” so we don’t have to drag out the wallet each time. It’s so convenient and certainly makes it easier for Disney to part you from your money . SOUTH AFRICA Seared Filet of Beef with Smashed Sweet Potatoes and Braai Sauce – The meat was so tender you could

Yesterday we went over to the Carolwood Pacific meeting room at the Wilderness Lodge DVC building. We met Dave and saw Russell. Both were very busy talking to the many people interested in Disney railroads.

If you're interested in FWRR, you can purchase these books and the mugs too. Notice the spike and part of the track in the upper center of this picture. These are actual blueprints from the FWRR Here’s

These are actually postcards of River Country, but they are from our 1st WDW - and Fort trip December of 1980. Pretty tame (or some might say lame?) by today's water park standards, but in 1980 it was pretty impressive. The slides, etc also emptied into the lake - not a heated swimming pool. The water was PAINFULLY cold (even to someone from Milwaukee who grew up swimming in Lake Michigan), but we wanted to get the most out of the trip. It was a blast!!!

We'll be there from around the 12/11 thru 1/?. Come see our thousands of inflatables. Probably get them up in time to take them down. And gotta watch some bowl games.

Hey knuckleheads, didn't you read my posts? Didn't I previously post that only the RFID cards are being used and that quite a few of the resorts have already been converted to use the RFID cards. And that all of the resorts will be converted sometime in 2013. Let's move on.
