WDW Magazine August 2017: Value Resorts at WDW | Page 97
I recently had the opportunity to attend Highway in the Sky when my college friend and I were on a girls ’ weekend . We thought the experience would fit nicely into our itinerary of adults only fun . Donned in our Dress Shop dresses , we made our way to The Contemporary to start our evening .
Check-in for the event takes place at The Wave at Disney ’ s Contemporary Resort . It was encouraged that we arrive at 5:15 for a 5:45 start . A confirmation call was made by the organizers 3 days before the event to solidify instructions and dietary needs . I requested a vegetarian dinner and they happily accommodated . After you check in , you are presented with your lanyard for the evening . Because of my vegetarian request , my lanyard was white so they knew of my need at each stop . The event is designed to be a social gathering . Participants are encouraged to mix and mingle with the other guests throughout the night .
Once check-in was complete , we were welcomed by the hospitality staff of The Contemporary and the head chef of The Wave . We were treated to a full-sized Bay Lake Sunset , a drink exclusive to The Top of the World Lounge . It ’ s a fruity drink made from Stoli Vanil Vodka , Parrot Bay Coconut Rum , and Pineapple Juice with a splash of Grenadine . An amuse bouche of Spring Pea Soup accompanied our cocktail . I was taken aback at first by the size , but knew we were in for a long night ahead and had to pace ourselves . Pretty soon it was time to go . As with every stop going forward , we were given a 5 minutes heads up to use the bathroom or finish any food or drink . With our 3 Cast Member guides , we were off to the Polynesian .
