We'll need to check with Cathie. DW and I are always there on September 12, but I don't know if food and wine starts by then.
We will see what we can work out tomorrow.
We talked last night about doing it in October as September is basically out for Cathie with her cruise and trip to see her son. Neda and I are checking the calendar tonight or tomorrow so hopefully will have an answer by the end of the week.

Ok the deal is this.....Oct is great beginning to mid month to do food and wine....doc is working on getting the vet clinic covered and then we pick a date so Missy and her husband can book a flight....guess I got him hooked after our overnight visit.....and then Dean, Robin and I being local (by then Dean WILL sell at least one house) and we are going to book DVC rooms at Beach Club to crawl back to our rooms....dunno if do. And Neda will also fly in or drive down but that's up to them to decide.....we are anxious for the FIRST EVER meet and greet for Food and Wine with our foodie e per Doc and wine experts Dean and me and our newly designated giggle expert Missy and John to round our our forumquotz....too bad we can't get Briar Rose to join in cuz we all love the Sleeping Beauty!

Thank you Doc for the quick lesson in why cheese is served at wine tastings. I really didn't know it!

I'm hoping to meet up with Dean and Robin on Sept 12 when they are down to "practice" Food and Wine for our meet and greet crawl....then the 15-17 is my cruise....after that I am driving back north with my son to do a huge craft show there and back home again by Oct. 1 Oct 21 is a wedding up north otherwise I think I'm good early to mid month for this.....so when doc figures out a getaway from clinic date we can get his shirt size and Missy's shirt size.....question....do we want shirts for the spouses too?

Lol! Their shirts need to say "My spouse has a Disney addiction".

I never commented on this thread. the food and wine is our favorite festival and a great reason to return each year. Friday and Saturday, get there early and leave early afternoon, nights are so crowded, you can't even stop walking or you get run over. Wednesday and Thursday are the best nights followed by Monday and Tuesday, Sunday depends if a holiday is that week. Resorts charge more for Friday and Saturday also. Weekends are used for Disney Springs, HS, AK, MK or the resort relaxing. I just read about your get together, hope it works for everyone and you all have a great experience.
