How often are auctions like these held?
 
I think at least once a year. I've seen them in the past for sure.

Interesting. After I recoup some money from the wedding/honeymoon/house renovations I'd be interested in taking a look. I'm a sucker for Disney signage. Anyone ever take part in one? Anything ever go for a reasonable price?

I'm sure some stuff is reasonable but a lot of it is highly collectible and pretty expensive.
 
True but Tiffins is very good :)

I'm keeping mine. I'll watch the first showing then head to Pandora for the rest of the night.

Tiffins and the Nomad Lounge are worth it for the money. It is a classy, elegant experience with topnotch service that delivers excellent food and atmosphere. And the theming in the restaurant is excellent for those that want to learn about everything that went into the development of DAK. At the very least, we stop in at the Nomad Lounge for tappas and drinks on the porch. We have eaten in the restaurant 3 times so far and it is the best meal on site.

And that's why I want experience it.

Nomad Lounge deck and Geyser Point are 2 of our favorite new spots. Comfy furniture and great atmosphere for food and drinks.

Ok momentarily :offtopic: but I was taking a closer look at Nomad Lounge and put it on my list of possible 'take it easy relax and have a drink' places. But a quick question. I know they have outdoor seating...are you able to request to sit outside?

When we went, we just found our own seats, so it was up to us to either sit outside or inside.

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I had read that someone in a review said they did that and they were pretty good on spotting when someone new walked in but wasn't quite certain if this was the norm procedure or not.

I think for all of us who got to enjoy Nomad Lounge on a walk-up basis, once Pandora opens it will be an entirely different experience. It is currently the best kept secret at Disney!
