Oh no...don't go back anywhere...keep on with your plans....I thought you got the non alcoholic drinks at RH and were still there.!!

That's a shame that they packed people in like that -- sounds oversold. Wonder if they'll change that for next year...

I dont know. I didnt see anyone who had the PP lanyard on when we were leaving or else I would have asked them how they felt the dessert party experience was and if they were going to give feedback.

Last year it wasnt so packed so I think they increased the packages sold this year.

The glow cubes by themselves are $4 or does that include the nonalcholic drink?
I can see paying $4 for everything not just the glow cubes.

Oh that's awesome thank you....I want them but my RH & FTF are both on the 22nd, and we re headed to MK 24hr after....I didnt want to sample too many drinks before it just to get awesome glo cubes

We bought alcoholic drinks and the price was broken down like the the rebel red was 9.75 and under it says millenium falcon 4.00

 

[ArielRae]

ok thanks!

 

[delmar411]

Most glow cubes or glow extras to drinks are $4-5 each.

I'm hoping maybe they see that crowding is an issue and adjust the space going forward this year. For those there, does it look like the space could be enlarged? Is it just blocked off with ropes?

I dont see how it could be enlarged anymore. There wasnt a ton of space between the 2 parties. I could be wrong but it looked like they had pushed out the space already. We werent over on that side of the street afterwards so no way to judge.

Every drink we've tried is tasty, so we're building our collection! We're 3 adults, 2 kids, and we're collecting cubes with both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. But I'm partial to the alcoholic ones...

Stop hoarding them all!!!

 

[ArielRae]

So out of all the different glow cubes offered which one has been everyones favorite?

 

[Nhebron]

is the Boba Fett Stein plastic? Just trying to understand why people are going crazy over them.

and I am super jealous of those with the RH ADRs. Looks so cool. I originally thought the food didn't look very good but now seeing the pics (including those adult beverages)...I am getting a bit jealous.

Went back to ask and the kids' drinks were limeaid, $8.09 with Death Star or milenium falcon.

This was from the drink stand at Backlot Express with this drink menu posted:



ETA: we were each able to pick the one we wanted btwn these two, but heard this was not always the case.

LOL!! We might be done... for today!

I'm sure others could already speak to this, but I'll be there doing VIP tomorrow and can post as well...

So it the deluxe premium FTF fireworks viewing on the right hand side of the stage? Does it have a larger/smaller space than the premium side? Gonna video the show with a DSLR and trying to get an idea of how close I'll be to the stage and if I wanna try a zoom lens or a wide-angle. i did a wide-angle last year for the fireworks but was so far from the stage that you can't make out much in the way of details.

It was nothing -- super fast.
