A bit of serendipity and an unexpected WDW trip...

I am....so excited and I need to share this with a group I know will understand! I am planning a sort of unexpected, serendipitous October trip for a few days to see Better Than Ezra play at the Food and Wine festival on the 7th and 8th!

I have been wanting to go but couldn't find anyone who could go along with me. Unsure if I wanted to take a solo trip for a few reasons, along with my already planned trip in January, I had finally conceded that my dream to see one of my favorite bands play a concert at my favorite place on Earth was just not going to be possible. Well this is where fate steps into the picture. My friend, not quite a Disney-holic but he appreciates WDW and has traveled there for many work-related conferences, will be staying on WDW property that week for a conference! So not only do I have a friend (and fellow BTE fan to boot!) to go to the concert with, but he said I can crash at his room at Coronado Springs! Add this in with a free plane ticket (thank you, frequent flier miles!) and my annual pass....this is a win-win-win situation!

So now I must decided where we will dine....I'm probably just going to go from the 5th-9th because he will only be there from the 6th-9th. Which means I'll need to book a room for one night (decisions decisions!) I will also be on my own during the day, which is sort of exciting because I love to explore the parks alone even when I travel with a group. I also need to try to make some dining decisions....I know he's dined all over property, preferring some of the more upscale establishments. This is all so exciting! I'm so thankful that I have this place to post my feelings without fear of judgment! :ROFLOL:

I can totally relate to your excitement! I have a solo trip planned for that exact reason. I was able to get three days off from work so I will be there for both BTE concerts AND Sister Hazel (I've missed them twice now by just a couple of days, once at F&W and once at HOB) on the 9th. To top it off I was able to get a lunch reservation at Le Cellier during my trip :sohappy:

I know, I'm very lucky to have these two great trips planned! My family shares my excitement but sometimes I need to share it even more, haha.

That is awesome! I was so surprised to see that one of my favorite bands would be playing at Epcot....I mean, how perfect is that?! Glad to hear after a couple of misses that you're finally going to get to see them! I haven't booked any ADRs yet but I need to...I'm hoping to surprise my friend with a dinner some night but not sure what his convention schedule will allow. Gotta treat him to dinner since I'm going to be staying at CS for free!

I won't be able to stick around for the Sister Hazel shows because I have a wedding that Friday and then a craft fair (I make/sell jewelry) on Saturday. It is gonna be a busy week for me!

I was really surprised to see them playing there too! I've seen them a couple of times, but it's been a while and now that the new album is out I'm even more excited! Hope you enjoy your trip :wave:
