My sisters and daughter and I did the party on Friday, and loved it!
We spent most of the day at AK, then went for a swim at our resort before heading to Epcot about 6:45. We had a Soarin’ FP I had grabbed earlier in the afternoon, after using our AK ones. Then after scanning at Soarin, I was able to grab a Character Spot FP, so we just had to get a pic with Mickey!
That means we arrived about 8:10. We were greeted warmly and shown to our reserved table, #13, right on the water, close to the drink station — perfect spot!
We made the party our dinner, and we’re glad we did. Loved the cheese fondue and fresh fruit, and the desserts and drinks were great, too. I stuck to a couple glasses of Pinot Grigio, since I was running the half marathon the next morning, but my daughter said the specialty drinks were great.
A few minutes after we sat down, a cast member came to our table to ask us if we were willing to be the "family of the night", to lead the group to the Frozen ride after the party. Oh, my, we had fun with that! Picture 3 middle-aged women and a 27 year old wielding light wands and saying, in unison, "Guards, open the gates!" at the ride. A magical memory for sure...so many laughs!
Definitely worth every penny!
