Just saw this tread. We haven't done Coco Bongo's so we're definitely in for that. Whatever is decided for toy party will be fine with us. Our vote would be sports bar, it seemed to always be empty at this time last year. Can't wait to meet everyone in person. Just a few weeks away now!
December 9th is our last night before we go home but it is also my birthday so we will definitely want to party!
I believe it is part of the bus trip that you purchase right on resort, the day they have it scheduled of course. Ride there, drinks and seats at the show included. You have to get your return trip back to the resort on your own though. We did a taxi with another group from the hotel... Not sure if this is the VIP that you are referring to though...
If the resort takes you there, you automatically get put in the short line to get in (not sure if this is VIP or not). They get you a table with your own waitress. This is awesome, as if you don't go with the resort, the entrance line is long, its hard to find a seat (all tables are reserved) & sometimes hard to get drinks if you are not near the bar...
