Epcot After Hours Tasting - New event

[Communicore]

I have a bad back too. I woulda demanded my shot to go.

Come on people...drink until they either give you a chair to sit you drunk buttocks in or your drunk butt passes out and you hit the floor...

Easy peasy....

Honestly that would suck. Now tequila would make it better but it would still suck.

But as much of a lightweight as I am, I'd need that chair before I finished my flight! Lol...

I still say that's the kind of thing they should make clear when guests book.

But then that means them actually being honest with guests.

I agree, the info has been kinda light on this event so far. I am still looking forward to our reservations at this event though

Has anyone here attended this event yet? What did you think?

Not pointing this at you but why can't people who don't want to do this event just let it alone for those of us who do? This event harms no one's ability to do whatever they want to do.

Why ask people to "let it alone"? Perhaps someone reading may not have the extra cash to pay for this event but would still like to enjoy a drink after hours and the suggestion @JohnD made about drinking on the Boardwalk is a more affordable alternative for them. If he had "let it alone" that person may not be aware that you can enjoy drinks on the Boardwalk after hours. Its education through discussion and different viewpoints. I think its silly to pay them money to be able to eat/drink after hours but how would I sound if I asked you to stop talking about your excitement for this event because I feel differently about it than you do?

I never said anything about not having the event. I was simply asking about the pricing structure. You could still have the wind down and offer ala carte food and beverage from a limited menu without requiring an up-front cost.

Had a friend attempt to do this over the weekend. Arrived at La Cava to learn her party of four had been assigned a standing room only table. When they mentioned two of their party had bad backs, management found two chairs, but told the other two people they would have to stand.

So apparently your $35 doesn't even guarantee you a seat.

Not really much of a "wind-down" if you have to stand the whole time. My idea of "winding down" includes some serious slouching in a comfy chair.

Because a number of replies on the multiple threads on this subject have gone well beyond offering alternatives to this event. Many of them have been negative and rude to folks who have decided to do this event. So to those folks I say leave it alone, if you don't want to go then don't. But stop the immature implications that folks who are going "just don't know better" and are "falling" for some WDW scheme. That is what I was referring too, not people making constructive comments. I have yet to see some one going say anything negative about someone not going. That is all I am saying.

I agree with you that no person here should criticize another for their choice to attend. I've spent more than $35 for random things at WDW that I no longer even have. $35 for booze and appz isn't a big deal, I just know Disney can do better, at least they used to.

$35 looks like a bargain now that they have announced the AK after hours event.

I am hoping this leads to more, but we will see. The $35 is much compared to the cost of the entire trip, if it is a miss then so be it.

But honestly, and don't repeat this to anyone, I got major points from the wife for planning a "date night" away from the kids while we are at WDW. And after 22 years of marriage I need all the points I can get built up for when I screw up Heck that alone is worth the $70 for the two of us!

You are crafty. I like your style.

This event must not be very popular. I haven't been able to find a review or description from anyone that has attended the event.

Edit: Found this review on Touring Plans. http://blog.touringplans.com/2014/04/25/epcot-after-hours-wind-down-review-la-cava-morocco/

So this review says they were offered to order more food and drink from the bar menu when tasting was done. This is the opposite of what some post here have reported. Some people have said that they were denied ordering any additional food or drink. I like the fact that you could order another drink and go walking through WS. we are staying at BC and our tasting is at Mexico so we will wonder thru the WS and get some nice night shots of the countries with no people in them. worth every penny to me

'Epcot After Hours Wind Down' event extended through the fall

 

[NYBaloo]

Does anyone know if they are still doing this event or did the offerings stop after the Food and Wine Festival was over?
