Sounds like you meet at the GCH and then walk over to the park, then up the stairs outside Pirates into the old Dream Suite. Weird they mention fireworks, but not Fantasmic. I guess because it's still closed. I don't remember that balcony being a great place to view the fireworks though.
I guess $2500/couple is reasonable for Disney
. Disappointing it doesn't include a night at GCH though.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
$2500/couple for a once in a lifetime opportunity is expensive; but not outrageous. I would seriously consider it, provided I didn't have to arrange the other 10 participants.Sounds like you meet at the GCH and then walk over to the park, then up the stairs outside Pirates into the old Dream Suite.

So was that a press release or was it supposed to be a review?
It read like a paid advertisement.

So you can spend $15,000 to have dinner and cocktails in an "apartment" the Disney family never occupied (or even set foot in), to be "regaled by tales of the lore and history of the space" - which was storage and then the gallery space before being "finished" as the Dream Suite to use specifically for purposes like this. I think Walt would very much dislike this because of the concept and price being disingenuous. The article is for sure a placement in Robb Report.

I went to WDW for two weeks for less money than that one dinner costs. I'm assuming/hoping this is something they're selling for people who are so wealthy that this is pocket change and not the average consumer.
Even the this seems like kind of a poor bargain. Have dinner be inside the Mansion facade or in the actual dining room and get to walk through the fantasyland dark rides after hours or something to justify that price.

I'm sure it was a freebie event for media. Robb Report is the "the best luxury cars, jets, travel....". Disney picked wisely
As mentioned in the DL thread (http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/21-royal-private-restaurant-opens-in-new-orleans-square.923997/), there is now an official Disney website: https://www.21royaldisneyland.com

I'm thinking more and more that they should have just left it as a gallery.
With crowds at Disneyland at a breaking point, at least that would boost park capacity by a few hundred, instead of hosting only a dozen people a night...

Disney is no longer my Disney. I don't think it is the Disney of Walt and Roy anymore either.

I do not know about this not being something Walt may have done. Do not forget Club 33 with is well above what the average park quest can afford.

Club 33 was originally intended by Walt as a space for sponsors and VIPs to be entertained after GE execs asked that a VIP lounge be installed within Carousel upon its move to the park (mostly so they'd have a place to go drink). Meaning 98% of the proposed visitors to the Club already had bought an interest in the park. It was not a space for the public to buy their way into, where they are being told a fabricated/embellished story for a high priced fee. This is more marketing at its worst, since they continue to need something to make the expenditure on building out the space worthwhile.
