Great performers! Now if they would only announce which artist will be featured each weekend (Mary Blair, Herb Ryman, etc.) I can, maybe, make some plans!!

How will the Pro Bowl affect Disney activity?

 

[bobbiwoz]

I hope this continues in 2018...I will put in my schedule for sure!!!

How will the Pro Bowl affect Disney activity?

Pro bowl is at WIde World of sports with activities that I know of happening at MK and Epcot

That said looking again I notice each pair is there two weekends so I'll be going to the newsies one the second weekend or at least planning to go

Nice. We saw Kissy Simmons And Alton Fitzgerald White on the DVC Member Cruise in September.

The Pro Bowl itself is in Orlando, not at the Wide World of Sports. There are activities at WWoS but not the game.

18 to the 20th - is there fast passes or dinner packages for this ?

 

[tinkerhon]

We are friends with Kerry Butler and can't wait to see her!! She's a Disney fanatic ! If anyone gets a chance, listen to her album "Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust" - it's beautiful !!

According to the following link the entertainment will be the same for 2 weekends in a row. We are planning on going Jan 16 and again on Jan 23. but I was wondering since the entertainment looks like it will be the same is it worth going twice?

Has anyone been able to find the dining packages online yet? I saw the article that they were available to book now but haven't been able to find them.

I just calling Disney Dining and the CM could not find any information and told me to call back in a few days. LOL!

I called about an hour ago -- the WDW-PLAY number -- and had a great cast member who spent a lot of time looking for the packages. Finally found them after a few calls to managers, etc. I have a late lunch booked at Rose and Crown on Jan 22.

It's showing up in MDE as "Rose and Crown Dining Room Festival of the Arts Lunch (8:00 PM Show)".

When she listed participating restaurants it included Coral Reef, Garden Grill, Akershus, Biergarten and Rose and Crown. When she looked for availability, it showed Biergarten only for lunch. Then she searched for dinner and found Rose and Crown for both lunch and dinner.

She kept apologizing for the length of the call, but I was delighted she got it booked.

Thanks! I will call again and see what they can find! You know the saying call and call again!

I called the WDW PLAY number this time and the CM, with her managers, help found it under Disney's On Broadway Concert Series Dining Plan.

I looked at Coral Reef for lunch and dinner and they were both $69 for adults and $24 for children.

I already had an ADR there and DH and I had figured our meal was going to run about $73 total with 2 entrees, 2 beverages and 1 shared dessert.
If we took the dining plan it would be $138 instead of $73. That is $65 more for another dessert and maybe appetizers and seats that are suppose to be free? I am just not sure that is worth it for us.

The show is being preformed 2 other times that day so maybe we can get seats for one of those.
