CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Have photos for my post ready, but Photobucket is totally uncooperative. Will have to post them later. Today we went to EPCOT for the sole purpose of using our FP+ for Frozen. It was down most of the afternoon. The fifth time I checked, it was open again. David was so tired that he sat in the car while I rode it. The standby line was 120 minutes. There's no way I'd stand in that line. Yes, it was cute. Yes, I'm glad I saw it. Will I do it again? Probably not. Will post an update when PB decides to cooperate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Tuesday, 9/20: When we arrived at Frozen to use our FP+, it was down. So we went on around WS and tasted at F&WF. Our first stop was Poland for the Gobalki: I thought it was a little bland. David thought it needed salt and pepper. It was just okay. Next up was the Beef Bourgignon at France. It was good, as always. Our last selection was the Artist Palette at the Wine & Dine Studio: It was great. We both enjoyed it. Finally on the fifth try Frozen was back up. We drove back to the Fort and went looping again. After the rain of the past two days, many loops are flooded. This is in the 700 loop: This was our third trip to F&WF, so we collected our Passholder glasses. And the bottom of the glass: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I was out of town for a couple of days, and I just caught up on your trip report, Gwen. Your indoor photos are amazing! Seriously, that is some wonderful photography considering you were in a moving boat in very low light. I'm jealous that you already have your passholder glass, and I haven't even made it to one Food and Wine visit yet! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I took it. 3 hours ago, Travisma said: Are they beer sized, or more a couple of shots on the rocks size? I don't have anything to measure them with, but I'm guessing they are about 5" tall and 3 or 3.5" wide. Very thick, heavy bottom. 3 hours ago, Tri-Circle-D said: Your indoor photos are amazing!

And I'm jealous that you live so close and can visit so often! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Photobucket is impossible tonight, so only one picture. And that's because I posted it on FB NaCole arrived this morning, and she is right across the street from us! Ya'ay! David helped her out with a few things. He had designated today as his driving day. So he got in the car and ended up driving to Melbourne. Then when he got there he turned around and came back. Didn't even get out of the car until he got back and went to Walmart. Meanwhile I had a great time at Disney Springs. It's been a few years since we've been there, and I was blown away by the changes. I took lots of pictures, but since TCD has posted such great pictures I won't bore you with mine. This afternoon we dogsat Simon for awhile. He's a sweetheart. Then we went looping with NaCole, Simon, and the kids. When we got back, Mikeypro came over to visit. It was great to meet him. We have no FP+s for the next several days and will be winging it. Mikeypro and bhall 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again for the help this morning (big thanks to Mike too?). Love that we're next to you...hopefully the kids aren't too much. They had so much fun looping with y'all tonight (we all enjoyed that!?). Thanks for watching Simon...no doubt he preferred that over his crate. Crazy, neurotic one that he is ☺️ 23 hours ago, CCIntrigue...aka Gwen said: This was our third trip to F&WF, so we collected our Passholder glasses.

Once you've visited EPCOT three times, you can go to Innoventions (the one on the right on your way out) and pick it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's three visits to Epcot on three different days for this year's Food and Wine Festival, and only one glass per passholder. Last year, you had to stand in line to get a stamp proving each visit. This year, they are keeping track of your Magicband. A visit could be scanning your band, walking in, and heading straight for the exit. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thursday, 9/22: Today was an MK day. We got there a little before noon. I took 250 pictures, so it's gonna take me awhile to wade through and edit them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

imaginator 1 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Anybody have any word on what was going on? We saw a bunch of WDW vehicles going around when we got back from HS about an hour ago. Took us a while to realize why it seemed so dark, lol.
