So I finally got around to calling member services to book around 7:15pm, I actually booked a Saturday demo online earlier today (Gale Gand Sat Oct 19 at 5pm). I was told that the Bacardi mixology and the lobster culinary demo (3pm) on Oct 17 are not available. Is it really possible that those 2 are sold out? I mean, I know Bacardi is popular, and I guess lobster as well, but it just seemed odd. Is Adam Mali a famous chef? He's doing the lobster demo, he's from Brasserie S&P Mandarin Hotel, San Francisco. I was able to book the shrimp 5pm demo the same day, and since I couldn't get the Bacardi mixology, I went for the Lasseter family wines demo at 2pm. We don't normally drink wine, but oh well, we'll try it. (plane lands on Wed 16 around 6pm, so didn't even ask if the Bacardi was available that day, and 17th is the last day for it)
I also was able to book the Mon Oct 21 culinary 1pm scallop, and the Pisco Portion mixology that same day.
Maybe I'll try back tomorrow and hope it was a glitch somehow. I really didn't think things without famous chefs would sell out the first day. And I would have thought the Lasseter name would be more popular than Bacardi among Disney folk, but I guess you never know.
