Without a doubt, the highlight of this past month was our visit to the Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival. Of course, around these ‘parts’, we affectionately refer to that feast as the Epcot® International “Food” & Garden Festival … with good reason!

To cover the event, we published:

• Our “Food” & Garden ’13 Pre-Festival Top 20
• A ton of pictures in our minute-by-minute “Food” & Garden flash reports!
• The All in WDW Final Top 20
• And, our chance meeting with Epcot Executive Chef Jens Dahlmann!

Mrs. All in WDW and I had a blast bringing you this account of our “Food” & Garden exploits, and we thank you for …

… following along with us on our journey! If you have a chance, slip down to Orlando and enjoy the best of Chef Dahlmann’s cuisine.

Dining was definitely the theme of the month as we introduced our first All in WDW-published “Dining Recon” with a recap of our visit to Beaches and Cream Soda Shop. I still want another one of those burgers! I also tried my hand at making what is now one of our favorite Disney dishes – Hurricane Hanna’s seared tuna. Check it out “All in WDW-style”. Finally, just a few days ago, we took you on a photo tour of the BoardWalk Inn’s Belle Vue Lounge – where we discovered that there is a way to have your drinks and dinner too.

Now, we have arrived at the numbers portion of the monthly update – the stats. When last I reported, we had concluded our third month of “life” with 20,953 page views (about 230 page views per day). One month later, All in WDW has seen 28,575 total page views for an overall average of about 235 page views per day. The most-read post in the last month was the, aforementioned, “Dining Recon: Beaches and Cream Soda Shop”. Mmm, that burger!

Once again, “The World of All in WDW” has grown bigger. As of last month, the list numbered 43 countries. Now, it proudly sports 49!! New to our “world” are: Austria, Guam, Indonesia, United Republic of Tanzania, Estonia, and Antigua and Barbuda! Welcome, all! Thanks for your support, and thanks for stopping by! My question is this … who will be #50?

If you have followed me for long, you know how this update ends … I want to specifically say thank you to all 51 of my Facebook and all 316 of my Twitter followers for your support, comments, “Likes”, “Re-Tweets”, and “Follows”. I want to thank everyone who has subscribed to the site via email or bookmarked it in your web browser. I want to especially thank all of you kind people who pop over from Reddit. Your support energizes me each and every day! Thank you!! You guys all ROCK!

Get to the “Food” & Garden Festival, my friends, and tell Chef Jens that All in WDW sent ya’! Oh, and stop back tomorrow – something BIG begins!! Cheers!
