So very cool! So sad I will miss it this trip. I need a special invitation to a secret soft opening in October. wink. wink.

Call me naive but have there been widespread issues at the parks where alcohol is currently sold? At disney prices and with the unique unmatched once in lifetime experience it offers I would be surprised to hear of many alchohol related issues or people becoming drunk and reckless.

there have been some - most in EPCOT either during F&WF or just people "drinking around the world"

But in EPCOT there are booths where one can get wine/beer/mixed drinks/shots/etc. and then move to the next booth, etc. .... here it will only be served to people at tables eating dinner. Could someone drink an entire bottle of wine and gets tipsy? Sure, but I don't think it will lead to the same issues

That said, I am sad to see Walt's vision messed with (I know, I know, not the first time) and I don't think it would have killed them to keep the one part dry .... but our family is fans of wine and beer in general so our next trip I am sure we will take advantage of this

exactly!

Ya know... Thinking about this... I just had a REALLY scary thought.

Their logic was "It only makes sense in a French Restaurant".



So if that's the case.... Why don't Italian wines make sense in an Italian Restaurant?


Or you know.... Mead and beers at a Colonial Tavern?


Or even worse.... 'How does it make sense to have a tavern without drinks?'.... so that opens up Gaston's and Tortuga.


I guess what i'm saying is that I don't really trust the current management to avoid the creep in the availability from opening this door.

Whatever. Thrilled to pieces at the menu, the high-end choices they've made with the wine list...it's spectacular. Just what one expects from an "experience" restaurant. Besides, those Champagne bottles are in the movie in that scene...can't leave them out!

I was quite pleased with the menu prices as well .... strip steak was the only item that didn't seem like a really good price and even that wasn't crazy ...

.... well those light up souvenier cups are a bit pricey

Has anyone seen the kids menu? The prices?

"And just an FYI don't know how accurate BUT a pin collector site is reporting that the new FLE-AP pins are being released at the AP preview days 11/3-4 and 11/10-11"


I just read this on a Facebook group I am in.
If this is the case we definitely won't be able to have a sneak peak bc the 3rd is our MK day!

It makes sense that these are the dates. No word yet on passholder site though.

I think it is an excellent move. It sets this restaurant apart as an experience...CRT remains signature with the princesses and this is turning into a nice dining experience, wine, a nice menu, beautiful castle...my only surprise is it is not two credits for dinner! I don't think it will creep in elsewhere...I think this will be part of the draw long-term and how one decides between CRT and BOG...a character experience or a dining experience. I also think it is unlikely people will be getting drunk on beer an wine over an hour dinner...the beer is not the bud light six pack generation...so I am not seeing a drinking around the work scenario.

Big thumbs up from me!

And the food shots on the blog look divine!

I was thrilled with the menu when it was released, and I'm even more excited now that I see the gorgeous pictures!

As others have stated, BOG is obviously not the kind of atmosphere where people will expect to be sloshed and acting like fools. When you go to a nice restaurant in your own town, you don't worry about that, right? I don't see that this experience will make a significant change to the overall MK atmosphere. Not that you won't get the random overly tipsy person on occasion, but that can already happen. There's absolutely nothing stopping someone who got drunk at Epcot from hopping over to MK. Yet, it rarely happens.

I have experienced, once, an obnoxious group of people drinking around the world at Epcot. But that wasn't the norm at all, and Epcot provides the atmosphere in which one can wander around "sampling" lots of different drinks.

This past Friday we were in Fantasyland just to see the new catsle walls and noticed an empty construction door. As we got closer, we were asked if we had about 45 - 60 minutes to try an new attraction which we of course said yes to. We then got to see the Enchanted Tales with Belle attraction. The line was cut off maybe 5-10 minutes behind us so we were lucky to be just passing by at the right time.

It is very well done and a great way to do a meet and greeet. The special effects with the mirror and animatronics are excellent. While it was clear it was a trial, since the CM in the first room flubbed over her lines a few times, we were glad to have the chance to do this attraction. We are not generally meet and greet people but wanted to see this at least once and now it's one less thing to do during the December trip.

I have some pictures from my iphone so not the best quality.

Oooohhh, so Im thinking this is actually more of a meet and greet than an actual attraction (like something you would ride on). Is that correct?

Thanks,

Doesn't sound like it, much the reverse. More of an attraction than a M&G, since photos so far are limited to show participants and no autographs.

Maybe the best comparison might be some of the shows available around the parks..... such as Indy, or american idol, or the Backstage tour pre-show...etc.

You get to watch a show, and audience members are picked to help participate within the show.

Biggest difference would be audience size, show length, and percentage of participating guests...
