Sad news for all who have enjoyed dining on the outside patio at Rose and Crown to enjoy Illuminations. Disney has figured out that there is money to be made there, and so now that area is going to be used for an Illuminations Dining Package. For $85 per guest, you will be seated at 8:00 on the uncovered patio (may be moved to the covered patio area in case of inclement weather) and enjoy an appetizer (either the Scotch Egg, or the Cheese Platter) an entree (choose from Bangers and Mash, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Scottish Salmon, or Fish and Chips) and for dessert, the Pudding Platter Trio. The meal comes with unlimited alcoholic, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Whether I am interested will be directly related to whether there is any wiggle room in the menu. My wife won't eat any of the entree's they've listed, and I can't have the dessert. If we can make substitutions, then we will probably spring for it. If not, we will schedule our usual Rose & Crown meal, and hope we get a seat on the covered section of the patio.
