Long gone are the weekend nights were our group were the only guests out there!

The wine I chose was excellent, but the restaurant doesn't do a good job of upselling or offering sommelier expertise.

For the most part, Disney doesn't really have 'cheap' wines available (though I do remember them carrying Cupcake a few years back) so I don't mind the slightly higher price for a better product. For the most part, it's always seemed like alcohol has had the least Disney mark-up of anything
