We've been to the F&W five times and never attended a seminar. We only went for a week each time though. This time we'll be there or four weeks and we will definitely go to some. Are the daily ones easy to get into?
Does the Sweet Sundays count for the advanced reservations for DVC, AP & TIW? I don't want to hold a place in the call queue if I just need to be calling on the 13th.
Also does anyone know if you have to be 21 & over for that one since alcohol is served?
Where do I go to find out if a seminar or demonstration is still available on the day of?
We want to go with the $15 ones or free ones. Maybe one signature but I'm not sure what one. We don't know most of those people at any rate.
You can get wristbands for the Eat to the Beat concerts? Please tell me more about them. Actually, please tell me more about the Eat to the Beat concerts. I'm determined to see the Gogo's! They're my favorite growing up.
There are no wristbands. First come, first served, and usually not even a line. These are usually easier to view that something like Candlelight Processional. I often show up only 10-15 minutes before a set and have no problems finding a seat. Since there are usually three sets, you have a few opportunities to see and hear the act. Oh, and the sets are usually all different. For example, last year, 38 Special did one acoustic set, which was pretty amazing. I bought their album of acoustic tracks from amazon.com while still sitting in my seat after the performance was done. ;-)
The $525 per seat pricing of the V&A special event has me a bit surprised/perplexed. Previous years, the big ticket events were more of the $375 per seat range. We did the Chef's Table--not during F&W, almost two years ago, and it ended up (with wine pairings and tip) to be about $780 for the two of us. I thought that was crazy, but this would be on the order of $300 more than the Chef's Table for a couple and you have to share the Chef among 16 diners rather than just the four we had with our experience.
I think it's a bit excessive. What's your opinion?
Super excited. We weren't planning to go to Disney at all this year, but we had dinner with some new friends last night and they really wanted to do a Disney trip with us. Turns out he travels a ton, so right on the spot he hooked us up with a suite at the Swan and a rental car using his points, which made it pretty hard to turn down a trip. So basically, we're on for 4 days in October !
Problem is - now I have a ton of planning to do in not so much time. Looking forward to checking up on this thread over the next few days.
Sorry, but last year there wer wristbands. If you have a Chase Disney Visa last year you could go to the lounge and get wristbands for preferred seating at the concerts.
Not required, but they did get you closer to the front without standing in line. (and amazingly some folks get in line at 11 am for their seat.)
Has anyone attended the Discovery of Chocolate event in the past? I searched for a review and found one from 2011 but was hoping to find one from someone who attended last year.
Thanks.
