News Round Up 2017

This is amazing!

I saw this one earlier today and find it intereting because it comes on the heels of reveals of two similar products over the last week by other companies (including one being crowd-sourced). None are ready for market, but it seems the race is on.

A look inside Pandora

@rteetz you are killing it with the videos today...I can't wait for Pandora, not because Avatar was an amazing movie, but because I think it is just going to enhance the "connection to nature" experience at Animal Kingdom...it's like connection to nature 2.0 - what it could be like in the future or what it might be like in other parts of the universe...so cool to me!

Avatar is only going to make my favorite Disney park even better.

That place is always full at fireworks time as it is. Wondering how this fits in? Hmmm.

They have a couple private dining rooms up there. They might be using those.

but most of the regular diners go out to observation deck. Wonder if they will still let people that eat early come back up?

I believe at least one of those rooms has their own observation deck.

Hmmm. I have ate up there many times and didn't know that.

They don't by chance come in through the side entrance at DHS that I didn't know anything about do they?

If you're really curious, google "Napa Room Sonoma Room California Grill" and the first hit should take you to a link for Disney weddings. I would link you myself but I don't want Disney wedding advertisements coming up in my browser from now until the end of time. If you look at an aerial view of the Contemporary there are actually 4 catwalk/observation decks up there. The two closest to Seven Seas Lagoon (the ones on the west side of the building) are the ones used for California Grill patrons to view Wishes, if memory serves. The special sparkle whatever it is $99 party sounds like it uses one of the other two.

I was interested in how it works and the quality of food/drink you will get

You can make a pretty good meal at CA grill for $99 and still get to see the fireworks - so what's the "plus" of this event?

I think the plus is the plus. If that makes sense.

People seem to like the all inclusive food events.

That's true - which I guess led me to wonder the quality of the food and beverage. They have a great beer and wine selection there so that could result in good value - or not if the selections are very limited

Guess to me if they have great options (for the food and beverage) then it seems likely me a fthe n all you can eat/drink evening. Thanks f not seems like you can do better just ordering off the menu and still get the fireworks
