The only way I can really afford Tony's is that I am there on my own. Solo trips are a great time to check things out and see if they would be a worthwhile expenditure for the whole family. If I had my DH and boys along for the ride, it would be $500+tax in USD just for the add on PLUS the cost of the party tickets. So we would be looking at over $1000 USD for a 5 hour event which is just not feasible especially with our exchange rate right now. I love my sweater and can't wait to get the ears! Are you doing the party this trip?
I am excited to relive the whole experience through writing about it.I am so excited for this review!
Thank you! I really liked the sweater too and thought it would be so cute for the party. Now I hope it will be cool enough to wear it!Love the Christmas jumper and excited to hear about Tony’s plus the upcoming birthday dinner
That's was pretty much how I felt. It's definitely worth trying and I think it'll be fun!The Tony's add on for the party sounds like a good upgrade. I mean, yeah, it's a pricey addition, but you really don't see a lot of people complaining because they did it. It definitely gets much better reviews than a regular meal at Tony's!
How exciting that your daughter is doing DCP! There seem to be quite a few after hours events in January.....maybe you will get to do one of those. I am also getting very excited for this trip, 36 sleeps and counting!If I were going solo I would do more too. I'm taking DD to drop her off for DCP in January. It will just be the two of us and I'm thinking about doing something special just not sure yet.
We are going to the party but we're going on the 17th. So excited! Only 39 more sleeps until we arrive.
That's great! I am so glad to hear a good review of the Tony's party, thank you! I love the sweater too, as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. 36 sleeps to go.I was actually just reading some reviews from the Tony's party last year and people who have done that and the dessert party - during the party lol - said Tony's is way better and totally worth it
Adorable sweater!!! Your trip is getting close now!
Nice!!Today we were finally going to get to experience Keys to the Kingdom
Ohhhh… I knew abut the 4... but not that they were called keys. Huh!we learned so much about the 4 keys ~ show, courtesy, efficiency and safety.
That right there, alone, would be worth it to me.We toured Main Street USA, hearing all the details behind each storefront.
Really! I guess you're skipper steered left when she had to steer right.Then we headed on to Jungle Cruise where we had the interesting experience of getting stuck and having to be towed back to the dock by another boat.
wowza!
Nope!Did you know there is an entrance to the Utilidoors right by Friar's nook?
Wonderful! (I did eventually figure out where you were going. )Victoria and Albert's that evening.
OMG! Really??? What perfect timing!Would you believe they were playing the song for our first dance at our wedding
It's such a fantastic meal. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing what else you had!I can tell you the service was out of this world...
I looooved the bread service!Our third bread course was offered now...a truffle brioche served with truffle infused butter. It was heavenly!
I don't drink it myself, but I did see someone else get it... I thought it was so cool that I wished I did drink it!coffee, brewed tableside in the inverse vacuum pot.
:: Totally agree.This was a sensational meal. Yes, it is expensive....very expensive. But with the ambiance, service and food quality, we felt it was worth every penny.
And congratulations on celebrating 20 years... you certainly celebrated in style.We had a phenomenal evening and certainly celebrated 20 years together in an incredible way.
I didn't trealize that either.....so much interesting information!Ohhhh… I knew abut the 4... but not that they were called keys. Huh!
Agreed!That right there, alone, would be worth it to me.
I coul not have been more perfect and magical!OMG! Really??? What perfect timing!
It was our second time dining there (last time was in 2010) and we would we definitely go back. It is an experience like no other.It's such a fantastic meal. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing what else you had!
I dream about that truffle brioche!I looooved the bread service!
Us too!I'd do it again... I just have to save up a few more years!
Thank you, it was Bill's birthday that day as well. I warned him he is not getting a birthday dinner like that next year!And congratulations on celebrating 20 years... you certainly celebrated in style.
I think I really need to do this.I didn't trealize that either.....so much interesting information!
I coul not have been more perfect and magical!
Yes it is. Just... wonderful!It was our second time dining there (last time was in 2010) and we would we definitely go back. It is an experience like no other.
I dream about that truffle brioche!
However... you could go for your birthday...hank you, it was Bill's birthday that day as well. I warned him he is not getting a birthday dinner like that next year!
You would LOVE it!!OMG! What a fabulous meal!!! This is definitely on my bucket list...
Thanks Kari! It really was the most perfect night....we were thrilled!Oh Susan what an amazing experience. From the Minnie Van to the Music to of course the food its like the night was literally made for the two of you. Perfect way to celebrate 20 years!!!
We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. When I heard our song playing, I turned to Bill and said "can you believe this?" It truly was magical.The great thing about V&A's is that it is not intimidating at all, they take such care to put you at ease and explain everything beautifully. You and Alex should definitely put it on your must do list!Wow, that sounded like an incredible day! I think for Disney loving couples, you can't beat that for an anniversary celebration. Might have to run that day's itinerary by my husband for a potential anniversary down the road...
How amazing the orchestra was playing your first dance song in the GF lobby. That gave me goosebumps.
Your V&A dinner experience sounded incredible; the restaurant even makes the bread look and sound fancy!
Thanks Caroline, it was so lovely. Like you, we really enjoyed KttK. I was happy to bring my Bambi Dooney out for the evening, it is one of my favourites. I found the dress a few months before our trip and was really happy with it. I was able to wear it again to a family wedding this fall too.It sure looked to be a very special day and evening. I loved the KtK tour, so much interesting things to see and learn about.
The dinner looks and sounds amazing, what a special way to celebrate your 20 year Anniversary. I love your outfit and purse so nice.
That's incredible! What a perfect way to begin your evening.Would you believe they were playing the song for our first dance at our wedding
Gorgeous picture! And wow! What a meal. It looked and sounded absolutely delicious. So glad you had such a lovely anniversaryWe had a phenomenal evening and certainly celebrated 20 years together in an incredible way.
