The stairwell!!!!
We had about a 10 minute wait in the courtyard before a CM came in to take us up.
The first thing we saw was another HM display:
I tried not to take too many pictures on the way in, we were told that we could come back and explore later and I wanted to soak it all in.
I will say though, everything was super fancy and clean and nice. You could smell the eliteness.
I also wanted to be careful of pictures in the main dining room, since you can't take pictures with anyone else in them. I quickly tried to discreetly scan the room as we were led to our table. I didn't see anyone I recognized, though there was a man sitting next to us who was in a tiki shirt dining alone. I was suspicious he might be an imagineer or someone who worked high up at the parks but who knows.
We were introduced to the wait staff and then received our menus. Getting the menus was like a little show in and of itself.
Us ladies were also given a little stool to place our handbags on. I felt like my Donald
loungefly backpack was a bit out of place on it's fancy little stool.
Inside of the menu:
It was a prix fix menu with 4 courses.
Yes!! Club 33 had exclusive HM tiki mugs!! I feel like they said they only made 999? Of course we were going to get one.
I won't keep anyone in suspense, each couple ended up ordering one of each so we each got one set.
Here they are!!
The following is not my pic, I stole it off a Google search. I am not sure I ever even saw the drink menu, by the time it made it around to me we were already sold on getting the HM tiki drinks.
I ended up with the Tall Frown and Brian got the Short Scowl (the waiter said they called them the man drink and they lady drink). We ended up choosing wisely because we taste tested the other's drink and we both preferred ours.
I could talk about what Pete and his family ordered, but I'll let him do most of the talking for his group in his own trip report. But they got a set of the drinks as well.
The drinks had fancy metal straws and they were super cold and just very fancy. Right now they are sitting on our mantel as part of our Halloween display. I'm very happy to have had the chance to get them.
Tiki Room, Jungle Cruise and POTC are slightly ahead of HM on my quintessential Disney list, but not by much. But if anyone wants to invite me back to Club 33 if they ever celebrate Jungle Cruise, please do.
Here is a picture of the gorgeous plate: (yes, this is one of those trip reports, had you not caught on by now??).
This was the nice bar display that featured the two drinks. Ignore the blur, I'd got two guys in the picture so I've blurred them out.
Much more to come!!!
