Thank you Miss Jasmine!!!!!!!!



I had been able to find out some of this information but not all of it.

 

[JandD Mom]

Thanks Miss Jasmine.

I thought I read last year that a private viewing area for Illuminations was included in the reserve dinners.

Do you know if that is still the case for the 2003 reserve dinners?

 

[Miss Jasmine]

JandD mom, that perk is not listed.

 

[SamSam]

Wow, DH and I planned out a whole week of wining and dining from the info. Now if our selections are still available when I call, we'll be so happy Thanks for posting.

We just happened to visit during the F &W festival in 2000, not knowing anything about it. Although we didn't do any of the *special * things that you listed, we really did enjoy all the little booth set up. Especially Asti and chocolate dipped strawberries, Yum yum yum!!!!

Does anyone have menus for special dinner events?

 

[nasmith]

There have never been menus posted for the special dinners beforehand in the past. The Menus are built around the wines by the Chef's involved - You'll find out what yummy things they've concocted when you get there!
