I would like to report that this was a total bust, a huge dissapointment and waste of money; that way I would never have to worry about trying to get tickets to this unbeleivable event.
Seriously, as word gets out about how completely incredible this party is, it's going to be like Cindy's. People like me, who never remember to set thier alarm clocks in order to call Disney Dinning will not have a chance of getting in.
I knew we would be sampling 50 types of food and wines, beers and many other libations, but I imagined samples. Not exquisielty prepared, beautifully plated mini entrees, appetizers and desserts, and all the wine and whatever else you chose to drink.
Service was impeccable. There was minimal waiting, even if there was a small line it moved quickly. All the chefs were gracious and hospitable, almost like they were hosting they party themselves and were just really happy you could make it. We sampled everything it seemed and went back for those we liked the most. There seemed to be an endless supply, no station running out of anything. Even the oak grilled lobster tails. It was just my husband and I attending together and the most pleasent part of the evening was sharing tables with total stangers, making conversation, everyone we met was as happy to be there as us.
I could not beleive how quickly the night went. It seemed like we were there minutes when they were making the announcment for the begining of Illuminations.
To be honest the next day was pretty rough. Never ever drink multiple glasses of champagne, red/white wine and aged scotch on the same evening. At the time it seemed like a good idea but I will certainly know better for next year. For those of you who have tickets for one of the remaing parties I have just a couple words of advice. Pacing; something I did not do my self. Everywhere you turn someone wants you to try their wine, beer, scotch etc. It would be impolite to say no. I guess I did not have to finish it though, That might have prevented my extroidinary headache the next day though.
This will definetly be an annual event for my husband and I. I woudl reccomend it to anyone who loves food, drink and conversation!!!
