We did. Got there early and were able to be seated right away. Amusing place. Some will be tempted to compare it to Trader Sams, but its not even close.Anyone make it to the Tonga Room in the Fairmont? I love that place...
IMHO, no the Lucas Films part wasn't wort it. It was fun, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor in your decision.I was really looking at this ABD trip just for the simple fact of going to Lucas films. Is that part of the trip worth it or should they try to land Pixar instead???
Just curious if your dinner at Waterbar was a full dinner. Or was it more of a serve yourself/munchie kind of thing?went to dinner at Waterbar an amazing seafood restaurant
Today was breakfast on your own and meet in the lobby to board a coach to head to Napa Valley and first stop the Silverado Winery. This is owned b the Miller family (Diane Disney Miller) the drive was beautiful as another sunny day and no fog. Went over the Bay Bridge to get there. We were greeted and shown around the vineyard and the making of wine. The junior adventurers made cork ornaments and body scrubs with sugar, olive oil, coco, lavender and rosemary. The adults got to sit down and taste 4 different types of red wines and then mix them to our liking. I have never done this before and was very interesting and fun. Then they made us a bottle of wine based on our mixtures to take home. Awesome. Then we were treated to a very lovely lunch on the terrace overlooking the vineyard. A lite Californian mixture of salad, pasta salad, salmon and beef served family style as well as 4 different wines to taste 2 white and 2 red plus a yummy chocolate mini cupcake for desert.
Then drove thru Sausalito very picturesque to Tiburon island where we boarded the Angle Island Ferry for the short ride to Angel a Island. Then got on a tram and had a 45 min drive around the island. There is so much history for the Bay Area on the island. We had a picnic lunch of salads and sandwiches and of courses cookies. Then back on the ferry for the return trip. Then back over the Golden Gate Bridge to the Presidio to the Walt Disney Family Museum.
Thanks. This is actually the research I did and realized that all I really want to do is walk around the Lucasfilm campus, which is a public park, see the Yoda fountain, and go in the lobby, which is also apparently open to the public on weekdays, and you can take pictures. The rest of the visit to Lucasfilm and the rest of the stops on trip aren't worth it for me to spend over $4000 for 3 nights in SF just to do it with ABD when I'm pretty sure I can do what I'm planning for between $1000-$1500 tops.Mathgeek...I don't think you can actually get into Lucasfilms on your own. You can see the yida fountain outside, but I think that is all you can do on your own.
I got my husband to agree to this trip because we do get to stop at Lucasfilms
Either way, with ABD or on your own, I'm sure you'll have a great time
