Great trip report! We did a quick 4 nights last year in August in a tent at the Fort before our cruise! We really enjoyed it, but agree that we don't want to do it again in August. We definitely plan to do it again!
It sounds like a wonderful week to start your vacation! The food tour sounds awesome! I love learning all the little details behind the themeing and designs at Disney.
Yay! I have read a couple of your reports! So glad to hear that! We have only gone in May and just the one day in August last year. I am excited to go in the "fall"." :)
