Help me decide [quick]... tour or brunch? - Page 2

They both sound cool, but I would pick the Backstage Tour!!

Peppertink · 08-26-2008

I am all about the tour! Access to places that others don't get to see is pretty cool!

johnkimv · 08-26-2008

I would do both, they both sound wonderful!! Mark something else off on your list that you can do whenever or that you have done before!

Sorry, but the Chef in me picked the Sweet Sunday.

Jess, do the Sweet Sundays. Since the chef is named Alice (you know, Alice's Restaurant?) and is from Berkeley, I'll bet she has a great Alice B. Toklas brownie receipe! Sample a few of those, then hit Illuminations......Far Out, Man!!!!!

My friend did the tour last year and loved it. He told DH that we have to go on it.

PhilliesFan · 08-26-2008

If the Sweet Sundays is only part of the food and wine festival, I say go with that one, and save the backstage tour for another visit.

CarolinaTilt · 08-26-2008

Both seem great, but I have to go with the Backstage Magic Tour because you get to go behind the scenes and go in all the "Cast Member" only places. So cool!!

**WishUponAStar** · 08-26-2008

Well, we decided on the "Sweet Sundays" event, I just called and booked it.

I REALLY REALLY want to do this tour but the Sweet Sundays event is exclusive to the Food & Wine Festival and ever since we left Florida we NEVER get to go to Food & Wine. It takes up a shorter amount of time, it's 1/2 the price, and it's something we both can be really into. The pastery chef who's doing the event that day is renowned for her treats, some even called her the "queen of chocolate." She's baked with Julia Childs and has at least 5 dessert specific books out, so it will be a once in a lifetime typa' thing.

You can book the tours up to a year in advance so I am going to put that on my PRIORITY LIST for our next trip. I may even try to book it for June.

Monique · 08-26-2008

Although they both sound awesome I would choose the Dessert Sunday. The Backstage Tour will always be there but the Dessert Sunday will only be there for Food and Wine Festival. Plus the fact that I just love dessert has nothing to do with it!!

EXACTLY what I was thinking! The "Backstage Magic Tour" will always be there...seems like the "Sweet Sundays" tour is a once in a lifetime thing. What are the chances are that very same chef will be there making those very same desserts again???

And since you're going during the Food and Wine Festival, might as well carry on with the theme!!!!!

missymouse · 08-27-2008

I vote for Sweet Sundays. I can't pass up a yummy dessert, and you'd get to try 3!! I also don't have any desire to see all the ins and outs of WDW. I think it might mess up the magic for me.

When I replied, I didn't even notice you decided! YAY!!!!!! I'm so happy for you. Like you even said, you can do the Tour next trip. This is really a once in a lifetime kinda event. CONGRATS!!!!!

lisalovesmickey · 08-27-2008

Glad you decided on Sweet Sundays. Its a great concept and you are gonna have a great time.

PLUS, we were not much of a help since the poll is at 50% each as I type this!

I think that you made a really wise choice. The Sweet Sundays tour sounds incredible. I like what Kim said about carrying on the theme too. Makes sense. Can't wait to hear all about it!
