Reading the above details, the impression I get is this is a custom made event for those who like to drink alcohol…and drink several servings within the time period.

Not much offered otherwise…such as an insightful tour around the Pavillion, or some other activity besides guzzlin’.
There is a lot of cool history and fun facts about this space, but I guess drinking lots of margaritas is what this is all about.

This is strictly a dining and drunkin’….uh..I mean drinkin’ social event.
For a D23 event, I would have expected a bit more to it then that.

I agree. As a gold member I’ll be letting them know how this is not the type of thing I joined d23 for - Tom and retro do such a good job with events that actually “get” what Disney fans want.

Like, at minimum I would expect Mariachi Cobre featured as part of this. They are a major and very important part of the pavilion.
