I know some will love it, but for me, wow ... they are making an expensive and unnecessary "party" out of everything!

That's a lot of money for an ok meal and an ok view of Illuminations. I thought about booking dinner at Rose & Crown to see Illuminations on my next trip. I decided not to though, because I think the view from my regular spot is better. I could see doing it for a special occasional such as proposing to someone or something. That's about it.

It is based on an assumption that, since Illuminations is ending soon, there will be larger crowds for the show and many people will want 'premium' viewing for the show and not have to fight over viewing spots.

It's all about the Benjamin's!!!

So, does anyone know. I have a confirmed ADR for Rose and Crown for January 22nd for 7:50pm. I sure as heck not paying $85.00 for a $50 dinner.

Are they going to charge me the higher price? Also there is a dining package for the Concerts during the ART festival at the same time...

We have a regular ADR booked 170 days ago.

I'm assuming (but don't actually know) that your ADR will be for an inside table. You may be the one who can let us know all of the details, and if they still have the non-patio reserved area for you to watch the fireworks from.
