Welcome Party?

[Laurafoster]

Can anyone give me some suggestions for what to do for a welcome party? Im already having a illuminations dessert party on the day of the wedding so i dont want another dessert party.

There will be ablout 26guests including 4 children. I dont want anything thats going to cost a small fortune though!

Any idea's would be great!

Do you want a preivate event?
If not, do a character meal (ex. Chef Mickey's, 1900 Park Fair) or Mickey's Backyard BBQ - they are a lot of fun.

It doesnt have to be a private event, im not really bothered about that either way. I Like the idea of Mickeys Backyard BBQ, but serveral of my family have done it several times. Someone else mentioned a luau?? does anyone have any info on this, how much it costs for adults+ kids etc?

The luau is roughly the same pricing as Hoop-Dee-Doo, about $50 for adults and $25 for kids ages 3-9.

were having our welcome dinner at the rainforest cafe at dtd in the amazon private room with a custom menu. its costing like $2400 for 64 guests.

as for the luau we were not impressed with the new spirit of aloha show, i would go with ohana instead which is just great. buffet meal like $24 per adult plus entertainment like hula games, etc. check out the info at allearsnet.com/dining ohanas is good for groups too with long tiki tables.

I guess I was under the impression that the luau and ohana were the same thing. My FDH wanted our rehersal dinner at the luau but our wedding is on a tues and they do not do luau's on mon night as far as I know. So, ohana sounds close to what he would like do you have any more info on that??

2bweddndis - yep the luau/spirit of aloha show & ohana's restaurant at the polynesian are two seperate events/restaurants.

ohana's restaurant is on the second floor of the main house at the polynesian resort. its family style $24.99 per adult & $10.99 for kids 3-9. round tables & long tiki tables which can easily fit a large group, we had 22 at a table during a big family trip. you can also see the mk fireworks in the distance & the music is sometimes piped in to the restaurant.
