2025 Wine and Dine

Still waiting on our tickets.....

On other news (without getting political on agreeing with it or not)... anyone starting to worry about govt shutdown and the impact on our airports... from our local news, the delays have already started and it will only get worse if the government shutdown keeps going... and goes on till our race weekend. I know there is nothing we can do about, it is like worrying about weather but I cannot help it.

Yes, I'm super worried about it. I even thought of just renting a car and driving from northern Virginia if it comes down to it I hate that 14 hour drive that could just be an hour and 40 minute flight.

I Still have one (1) afterparty ticket for sale if anyone needs it! Sadly we can’t go to the race now. Wouldn’t hate to see it go to waste.

Anyone know what the food lines are like at the party? Do they typically keep all of the stands open for the party or do things shut down around 10p?

I wasn’t there last year but the year before the festival booths were open! Lines weren’t too bad. Shorter than during a normal day.

Some more Beak and Barrel reservations just dropped. Got one for 2:50 on sunday!

Oh, ok. I just looked it up, and the answers seem to point to no. Not unless you already have a day ticket that gets you into EP or an active AP for that day. It also sounds like most of the "good stuff" will already be long since taken anyway, by the time you got in at 5:00.

The best strategy seems to be to ride the not-so-good stuff during the 5:00-10:00 period, and then work your way to the big rides once the day guests are forced out.

We had the same ride strategy at the party last year, but hit a snag when they closed the line to Guardians early without notice. We were going to ride it last on our way out of the park. We walked over there a little bit after midnight and CM's were lined up before you get to the ride stating they had closed the line already. Not sure if they opened it back up later on, but we decided to leave. Just something to keep in mind!
