This is actually the second part of a question I have. The first part being in the resorts folder.
This August comes the big 50 for me. For a while there was much deliberating as just how to celebrate this, a party, a dinner?
After much consideration, I have decided to throw myself a birthday party in WDW. The deal is, friends join us down there for a vacation, and I throw a dinner party on my birthday.
I have invited my friends to join myself and my other half in Disney World (we have been going down there about every other year for 20 years).
I have about 10 friends who have decided to come and now the process of booking is underway. An important piece of information is that of those that said "yes", 4 are really very serious about it and have made flight reservations. The other 6 ... well we'll see as we get closer.
The deal is, they join us for vacation and I throw a birthday dinner in WDW.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this or restaurants. I will be picking up the tab.
What restaurants do people recommend? I had thought of Artist's Point in WL. I have the price of about $50 to $80 a person in mind, including drinks. On a philosphical level, I am only going to turn 50 once (that is, until I hit 150), and I have saved and budgeted for this.
If it only comes out to a party of 6, I have thought about Victoria and Albert's. Anyone have any experience with a birthday party in this venue.
I have to say, that some of my friends, after a drink or two, can become quite, shall we say loud and happy.
Any suggestions anyone can offer or experiences in both venue and planning would be most appreciated.
My other posting is in the resorts thread, where the question is regarding Port Orleans French Quarter or Riverside. Thanks!

You've come to the right place for information and opinions. I think your idea is great, too. The only advice I have is that if some of your friends get "loud and happy" after a few drinks, V&A's might not be the place for you- I think the place is kind of subdued. Also, this restaurant is a price fixed, multi-coursed dining situation, and is quite pricey. Check out
