Becci, Do tell on your experience of WOC!! Did you have dinner ressies? Lunchbox tickets? Or did you just get Showpasses? Would love to hear all about it!
Becci, how was your birthday trip? And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you.
Hi!! Thanks for the Birthday wishes Linda. The big day is actually tomorrow - I can't believe I've reached the big 4-0 !!
But who's counting?
WOC was great! I posted a little about it on one of the WOC threads. Here is some of the info:
We did the WOC package at AG on Saturday, 6/12. We were a group of 4 adults. We decided on the veggie/cheese antipasto appetizer. I believe the other one was cheese/cured meats/fish??? They also served sourdough bread. The bread and appetizer tray was NOT the same they had on the Girl's Trip - I liked the one they served in Feb better.
All of us ordered the tri-tip and enjoyed it. ( I'm almost positive it was the exact same entree that I had there on the Girls' Trip) Three of us ordered them med-well and one well-done. All of them came out as ordered.
The dessert tray looked better than it tasted. (This also was completely different than what was served in February.) Once again not bad, but not spectacular either. But we were so full at that point also we didn't care. We all ordered soft drinks and then they also brought us coffee with our dessert (we had to ask for it though). This was all included in the 36.99 price. I have a Premier AP and they took 15% off the bill.
Our dinner ressies were for 5pm. We were seated promptly and service was good. I can't remember what time we were done but it was around 6:30. The ticket said to line up for the preferred viewing area between 7:30 - 8:30 so we decided to ride Toy Story Mania before lining up. We waited quite awhile for that ride so we didn't get to the viewing area until 7:45pm.
All the CM's in the WOC area knew were to direct us. We had to "go through" quite a few CM's before we reached the CM "in charge" of the Preferred Viewing area. Do not give up your "ticket" until the last CM! We were in the Blue section (not sure if all the preferred viewing is in that section or not). We were given the choice of "wet" or "not wet". Because we were 4 women who planned on shopping after we chose "not wet"!
Our view was dead center, but farther back. The area was not at all crowded which was nice and we didn't have a problem seeing because of that.
Would I do it again? Yes! However, probably not with my kids. (We will stick with Fast Passes with them - or possibly the picnic meals). I have two "Disney Adults" kids, ages 10 and 12, that would not have touched anything on the appetizer platter and probably only the steak on the entree and not the potatoes or veggies. It's hard to justify spending $36.99 on them eating so little when we can get Fast Passes and get a good viewing area.
WOC was really amazing! I can't wait to see it again!
