When I was planning my Disney wedding, it was not unusual for the brides to have something called a Dessert party on the days leading up to the wedding, or even sometime afterwards. These brides would have an area of Epcot roped of just for them and their guests. It was usually somewhere around the Lagoon so they would have a great view of Illuminations while being served delectable treats. As much as I love cupcakes, I did not have one of those Dessert Parties, although I always thought it would be pretty cool to have a portion of Epcot dedicated just to you and your guests. It sounded so exclusive!
Now Disney has announced a new After Hours Wind Down Party. The party will begin after Illuminations and last till 11pm. It will take place in several of the lounges around World showcase, so you'll have your pick of where you want to relax and unwind for the evening.
Will it be La Cava del Tequila in Mexico or Rose & Crown Pub in United Kingdom? How about Spice Road Table in Morocco or Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar in Italy? It will be a tough choice, but your ticket only gives you exclusive access to one of them.
Once you are inside the lounge of your choice, you will be treated to cuisine created by award winning Epcot Chefs and Sommeliers. The menu will include small bites paired with beverage flights. I'm not sure how "small" they are because it is noted that additional beverages will be available for purchase.
These wind down parties will take place Thursdays through Sundays only from now until September 15. The cost is $35. I'm not sure what this would be like, but I think I'd be willing to give it a try once
