You should see some of the SGs fly off the handle when they need to walk around to the front of the castle to get to CRT during a parade because we have fireworks testing in Fantasyland. They FLIP OUT thinking they will be late and will get their reservation canceled.
Don't even get me started on the Christmas party nights where we had stage shows followed by fireworks testing so for 20 minutes you could only go to the castle from the front (using only the ramp closest to the liberty square bridge) followed by 30 minutes only from the back (via the ropes by snow white's scary adventures).
I know that it's not the CMs at DRC's fault, but I really do think that the guests should be informed that if their reservations are during fireworks or parade time, they need to plan to be there early.
Its funny, in all the years I hve been going to both places, WE never missed reservations, even if during a parade nearby!
I think the adage of: "Poor planning on your part dosn't make it an emergency on my part"
They should consider SOME sort of method, so that people that make multiple ADR's for the same time at different locations would be made to re-think their methods!

I'm thinkin' it's just shy of $200 at V&A, but they serve every night... I'd think it might be a little more for something that's even more special and rare... Any info would be greatly appreciated as I'll be there for the first Thursday in march. (Don't know if I can swing it, but it's an idea to kick around)
The price is $150 each, including tax and tip. A steal, especially considering that some of the wine's we've been served there cost more than that per bottle!
Booking is difficult, as it's not on the Dining Reservations System. You have to call the restaurant directly. If you like, PM me with the details and I'll set you up. We're "regulars" and can often sneak folks in when its closed to civilians.
Yeah, it's all about connections, baby!

a shaking hand knocks on the third brick from the left on a particular wall.
a brick swings in to reveal a pair of ominous eyes looking through the black hole revealed.
You whisper "Zazu sent me"
Suddenly a hidden door swings open in the brick wall to your right and you slip quickly into.....
Something like that Zazu? :D:

I thought that was the Ink and Paint Club. It would go better with animation. But you're right, that is the image that was conjured up quite well.
