You are our only hope, LOL! I tried searching online and couldn't find any reviews.Yes I'm eagerly awaiting reviews!
We are going on Friday.
Hi pirate33! You’re the first person I’ve seen on here who did the California Grill NYE event last year. We splurged and booked it for this year. It looks like it starts at 7pm, which seems like a long time to hang out before midnight. Did you think there was enough to do to keep occupied, or better to arrive later?The $600 price point is no doubt for the California Grill event for NYE, which is a very elegant affair with a superb dinner buffet, craft cocktail bar, table service for other drinks, entertainment, fine champagne, caviar, character photos with Mickey and Minnie, etc. I went last year and thought it was incredible. I have pre-booked it for this year and don’t recall the exact price but it is more than $700/person. Yes, a major, major splurge to be sure, but it was a wow. I have been looking forward to it all year and am bringing some special friends along.
And, no, I am not getting a commission but perhaps I should…
We did option 2 on Monday. It was packed. Wicked Wind Down had a separate reserved area to the left (closer to Contemporary) for fireworks. You could sit but standing room was perfect for us. There were people waiting to come in but I believe they were kept to the other side for viewing.Heading to WDW in February so I just want to make sure I’m getting this right… there are 4 ways to go to the Top of the World (none of which seem guaranteed past January)
1) just show up, cross your fingers and hope you can get in.
2) Wicked Wine Down - any day that the next two events aren’t taking place. $55 dollars and it’s an app and cocktail per person. Reserved table for fireworks?
3) Enchantment at the Top - most Fridays. $89 per person includes open bar and dessert party. Table for fireworks?
4) Bound to be Bad - most Wednesdays. $139 per person includes open bar, dessert party and you can dress up in cosplay. (Half hour longer than the enchantment)
Am I getting this right? I was thrown off by the Bound to be Bad… I didn’t see much of a difference between the Enchantment. Do we think it’s really realistic to get in there without prepaying for one of these events now?

We went outside to watch the fireworks and could hear the music clearly. It was not packed at all in the viewing area. The inside tables were mostly full before the fireworks but we got our food early enough that we were finished before the fireworks started so we only had the cake to eat after. It was worth it for us for the fireworks views but, with two kids under 10, it wasn’t a great value in terms of food and drink for them. I will say the tomato flatbread was huge (big enough to share) and very filling.npatellye do you think it w
Npatelle do you feel it was worth the money? Or was it too packed to enjoy?
Do they play the fireworks music from magic kingdom, or is it just watching the fireworks?
Has anyone done #1 recently?Heading to WDW in February so I just want to make sure I’m getting this right… there are 4 ways to go to the Top of the World (none of which seem guaranteed past January)

Is 14 considered an adult for this? Or is it adult is 18+ or 21+ ... seems like there should be a price difference between alcohol and no alcoholWe did this party last night. It felt exclusive since they have very few tables in there.
I had a glass of champagne on arrival and one cosmopolitan. They had good small bite size deserts which were tasty.
Then a private area outside for fireworks.
I had my kids 14 and 4 so definitely not a good value because of the alcohol. The kids only drink water lol.
