Wine Luncheon at Artists Point with John Bernau from Willamette Valley Vineyards

 

So, why would we want to do a Wine Luncheon at Artist Point with Jim Bernau from Willamette Valley Vineyards? After all, we know that wine dinners don’t usually end up being really enjoyable for us and we’ve figured out that we aren’t huge wine people… Well, we had met Jim Bernau during

Our Final Thoughts on the D23 Magic & Merriment 2012 at Walt Disney World

So, what are our final thoughts on the D23 Magic & Merriment 2012 at Walt Disney World?

D23 Magic & Meriment 2012 Evening One at Walt Dsiney World – Holiday Dessert Buffet & Fireworks, Italy Pavilion, Epcot

Being able to attend a dessert buffet and watch the Epcot fireworks from a World Showcase Pavilion (ended up being Italy), was one of the selling points when nora suggested to nick that we attend the D23 Magic & Merriment event.

Hospitality Suite inside American Adventure on Day One of D23 Magic & Merriment 2012 at Walt Disney World

During the first day of the D23 Magic & Merriment 2012 at Walt Disney World, we were given access to the Hospitality Suite at American Adventure.
