I don't know about many people, but I've done it more than once. Had dinner at the CG, monorailed around to the GF for drinks, then back to the CG for fireworks.
Question is, do they really care? As long as there's someone to book it and "something" to see, Disney will gladly charge you for it. Guess we'll see what HEA brings.I don't understand this extension. I thought HEA is supposed to be more projection/light/laser-focused than fireworks-focused, and thus it's not going to translate as well from a distance. Or will it?
But that already exists. You just book a standard meal at the CG. All this does is adds a new menu and a bigger price tag to what they already offer :/Question is, do they really care?

So it will be like dime beer night at a college bar?If there is unlimited alcohol this could be a great deal!

I have been wondering if they ever will close the dine early and come back loophole. Personally I don't think you should be allowed in the elevator unless you have a reservation coming up in the next half hour or if there is space at the bar. Although of course this might mean people with a 7pm reservation try to string out a meal to 10pm. I'm not sure of the best way to implement, but dining at 5pm and coming back at 10pm for fireworks seems strange, to me anyway.
Why not just make an ADR for CG? Sounds like this is just having dinner in a more blah space?
You do have to have a reservation, the last time I was there, at CG to get off on that floor.
We have done CG and personally, I would rather be in a quieter room enjoying appetizers and unlimited beverages then having dinner in a noisy dining room. My wife and I have been called foodies but this is not a restaurant we like to go to. We have been twice and each time it has been very noisy with screaming kids and adults talking very loud just to be heard over the noise. So, yes we would rather pay $99 a person to be a room of on the side away from the restaurant and enjoying unlimited drinks.This event confuses me.....
You see, we routinely go to the Grill for dinner. With 20% tip, and several glasses of wine..... over the years, we hit about $180 for a couple.
COULD hit $210. Folks, we eat filets.... we don't go cheap. And we can watch Wishes, if we want to do so.....
Now - $99 a head for appetizers? Why would someone not just book dinner?

Sorry, but this is incorrect. You can go up with no rez, dine and drink at the bar, and then go out and see the fireworks if you so desire. If the bar gets too crowded, they'll shut this off for a while. If you try it too close to fireworks time, you have less of a chance. I've done this several times myself, and it works great when you didn't have a chance to make a rez 6 months out.
