*~*NEW October 2013 Thread*~* Our Month Has Arrived!

What are you most looking forward to doing this trip?




Our family can't wait to do MNSSHP. We went two years ago but my son developed a fever in the middle of the party and fell asleep before HalloWishes or the parade. He was so bummed and of course, we headed back to the hotel earlier than we would have liked. Can't wait to have the whole party experience this time around.

We are looking forward to our first MNSSHP and of course checking out the food and wine festival. Fall is my favorite season too! Sending you pixie dust to wish your family good health for MNSSHP this time.

First of all, you need to have a tasting buddy. 'Does everyone have their tasting buddy?' Taste everything, but share each item! We always aim to buy one of everything, share the tasting, and throw it out if we don't like it. That is how we manage to get through everything and save some money. The passports available in the shops are a good way to keep track. If there was something we really liked, we will go back for it. Oh, and we take five days to do this.

If it is your first time, I also recommend trying some of the less expensive ($14-$15) seminars to get a 'taste' for how they run, the sort of information included, etc. We find them really fun, and you get to sit down in the AC for a while. If you are more adventurous, the other special events are a good time too. We love the Sunday cheese seminars. Really disappointed we weren't able to get reservations for the Hibachi Experience. And I called as early as possible, before general public reservations even opened!

Most importantly, stay relaxed. It gets crowded, there may be long lines, but that's ok. You are there to taste some good food, try some new wines, and have fun.

We leave for Disney in 30 days!! I'm trying to get our daily park plans finalized by using touring plans. I'm not totally impressed it seems to be a lot more work than I thought for a paid subscription. How are you guys making your plans?

Excel spreadsheet. Love doing it that way.

MDE has potential. Not fully user friendly yet, but it does track all of my reservations, even as I keep adding new ones, sometimes over the phone, sometimes on the internet.

We like to try a few things and share. I really like the gift card wrist bands. Since you wear them on your wrist, no need to fiddle with a wallet or change, just swipe your wrist band and you are on your way.

There is a Food and wine festival thread on disboards that contains lots of helpful info.
