"That will be all, Jeeves" January 2011

[Sassagoula Billy]

Should this be its own shindig? Will it be separate and apart from The Grand Lady on the Lake? Who knows. But for now, here is the gathering of foodstuff ADRs and plans set forth for the great WDW food fiesta I'm calling...

"That will be all, Jeeves."
A Degustation Celebration

The Players, at Twelve Oaks
Sassagoula Billy..............29, yours truly.
Mama...........................Auntie Mame and Grace Kelly rolled into one.

In Atlanta
The BFF........................39, best friend of 10 years
BFF's DFi.......................30, fiance with wedding date set for 2012

Okay, so none of us lives in Atlanta, or at Twelve Oaks. And this trip isn't even taking place the Port Orleans: Anything. But the whole prospect is so grand and epic and cinematic and Max Steiner cueing up the Metro Goldwyn Mayer orchestra that I felt impelled to go all Margaret Mitchell. So for all intensive purposes, Twelve Oaks is the sooo not southern - okay, Florida meets San Diego - Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, and Atlanta is the Pop Century. Again, nothing Atlantean about that either.

But that's the cast of characters. Them's the locales... and...

ADRs to follow.

Oooohhhh... V&A?!?! I can only imagine! We ate at LC & at GFC for dinner a few years ago. DH loved LC but GFC was a bit stuffy for our redneck Hoosier selves.

I'm so excited to do all the stuffy stuff (stuffy stuff?), because it's a whole buncha firsts for me. Even if it's not as wondrous as I hope it to be, it's a bit off the ol' bucket list.

Sounds like a great lineup so far

Danke! We're only doing a three day trip, so I think that's all there is planned.

It'll be short and sweet but hopefully wall-to-wall lovely! And you probably read that I've never even set foot in the Grand Floridian. So, it's a whole slew of anticipatory years (awkward sentence) leading up to this great, GRAND, moment.

I'm sure I'll see Mame and Patrick there in spirit. That's certainly how I'll feel.
