Epcot Food and Wine Festival – October 2011, Part 2

October 23, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

Friday, October 21 – another beautiful but chilly morning in Orlando! We decided to take a trip to Animal Kingdom – our second favorite WDW park (after Epcot). We had just missed a bus, but caught one less than 20 minutes later, and there were only 5 of us on it! Too early for the … Continue reading "Epcot Food and Wine Festival – October 2011, Part 2"

Disney Dream – October, 2011, Part 5 and Epcot Food and Wine Festival

October 22, 2011 by Laura Gilbreath

Our last moments aboard the Disney Dream this morning…the final morning of a cruise I always find to be a let-down – everyone is in such a rush to get us off the ship by 9:00. It was a beautiful morning in Port Canaveral – but chilly!!! Only 57, and it was only supposed to … Continue reading "Disney Dream – October, 2011, Part 5 and Epcot Food and Wine Festival"

November 2, 2009 by Laura Gilbreath

I’d planned this to be a blog about Sweet Sundays, and the Culinary and Wine demonstrations we attended today but it’s late and I’m too tired to finish writing about all of that, so for now I’m just going to do Eating Around the World – Round 4 instead. That’s what we did tonight with … Continue reading "2009 Epcot Food and Wine Festival – Day 4"

2009 Epcot Food and Wine Festival – Day 3

November 1, 2009 by Laura Gilbreath

We got started a little bit earlier today – we were out of the room by about 9:15. We had a private bus to Animal Kingdom! We had to run to catch it, but there was no one else on it, and we didn’t pick anyone else up at Swan or Dolphin, either! The bus … Continue reading "2009 Epcot Food and Wine Festival – Day 3"

October 31, 2009 by Laura Gilbreath

Since we’re still on west coast time, morning didn’t come very early for us – it was 9:00 when we got up – though that’s still 6:00 at home! Whew…already warm today, though. Is it really supposed to still be in the high 80s in late October??? We walked to Epcot, where we had a … Continue reading "2009 Epcot Food and Wine Festival – Day 2"

November 16, 2008 by Laura Gilbreath

(This is what happens after you get home from vacation – it takes a long time to get back and finish that trip report!) So Tuesday we started our day at Animal Kingdom. A cold front had moved in and the weather had turned chilly, even though it was sunny – the high was 63 … Continue reading "Epcot Food and Wine Festival – Days 7-8"

October 29, 2008 by Laura Gilbreath

Considering our late night Sunday night we got up fairly early on Monday, since we wanted to be at the Studios when it opened to try to get a couple of rides on Toy Story Mania.
