[ToTBellHop]

Just saw this in my PASSWORD and had not heard about it:

Starting March 15

I like the Sparkling Wine part!! Can't wait to hear more!

I just heard about this tonight- sounds great!

Meh

So, does this means the rest of the decent places to view Illuminations from are now going to be history?

Omg. I need more info on this. I hope it's not just a Spring thing. Would be perfect for the first romantic night of our Honeymoon.

It's only 3 nights a week for now. Given how popular the Wishes buffet is, I think it's a nice alternative, and an economical option for smaller groups versus private parties or cruises.

Is there a way to block the cynics? No? Ok. I like this, seems fun. Don't know if we'd go, but it is something I'd consider.

Anyone know where the viewing area for this is?

 

[bhg469]

This seems like it would be something I would take my wife to. I'm glad they're still doing things that don't involve characters especially in Epcot.

Anyone know where the viewing area for this is?

World Showcase Plaza

Surely they wouldn't charge full price for teenagers who are under twenty-one at an event involving wine? That's nuts.

We'll likely know in 17min. or so?

 

[steamboatjosh]

I'm not seeing anything yet. Would it be under one of the other category options?

 

[Gabe1]

Oh Disney!

$50 for wine pairings? Funnier $30 for a kid at Wine pairings, ouch! Humorous that children are invited to a wine pairing event. Scratch head. Why is this not an adult dessert party?

 

[steamboatjosh]

Where ru seeing this info at? I went to the link and am not seeing anything.

Seems that you need to call to book. Several have called and booked dates out through September. Seems that the CMs are having to look for it as they were unaware.

Sounds fun to me. I may have to pick between this and MVMCP for our November trip but I'll see if I can just save between now and then.

It's different than the one for Wishes which I think is a nice addition and give people options.

Maybe the answer is yes in an attempt to discourage them from coming, less kids this age would mean less chance for accidentally serving a minor.
