Thanks to our dear friend Tony, last night my husband and I were lucky enough to participate as some D23 Members gathered for food and Drinks at House of Blues Orlando. It was a terrific opportunity to socialize with friends and members of the official Disney fan club.  A reserved seating area was held for members and up to 3 guests, so we were all separated from the rest of the diners in the restaurant. Dinner and drinks were not covered by D23 or House of Blues, but we didn’t mind that at all, and were just thankful for the opportunity to be there. Upon checking in, we were all presented with wonderful swag bags that included one 15-percent-off coupon good on all merchandise in the House of Blues store, tickets to 2 tribute bands who would be performing at a later date, and a few other small gifts provided by by D23.

House of Blues Orlando, is known for their Shrimp & Grits, Pulled Pork Sliders, Jambalaya, and Hand Stretched Flatbreads.

A fun addition exclusive to the D23 party was a Specialty Cocktail menu. The menu included fun beverages with creative names such as True Love’s Kiss and Electric Lemonade Parade!


My group and I tried both of these and they were delicious!

D23 Cocktail Menu

We felt like V.I.P’s as Jim MacPhee, Vice President of Next Generation Experiences and Walt Disney World Parks, Jeffrey Epstein, the Original D23 Disney Geek, and  George Kalogridis, Walt Disney World President – personally made rounds to each table for meet and greet opportunities, and to pose for photos. Our good friend Sarah asked Jim MacPhee if there would be a coronation for Princess Leah, now that she is officially a Disney Princess. Jim tilted his head and replied, “Gee, I hadn’t really thought of that. I suppose that would be possible!”

So there you go – just remember if it happens you heard about it right here at Chip & Co. first. More photos and details about my personal experience at this event can be found here.
