Everyone was so excited for the open bar. The kids could go up to the bar, order any drink without alcohol, and they would not have to pay. Open bar was in our ticket price. We all took this as an opportunity to try various drinks. There were about 10 drinks offered, and I can honestly say, someone from our table tried each one - with or without alcohol. And when a new drink was brought back with no alcohol, everyone tried it to compare it to others. I tried a Honey Girl (with alcohol) and thought it was so-so. I then tried a Lava Flow - a beautiful drink with a coconut smoothie-like consistency and strawberry something around the bottom that looked like lava. (No alcohol since alcohol really ruins some pretty good drinks for me.) Delicious.
Then we met Randy our server for the evening. He was a boisterous and friendly guy who was easy to talk to, very easy-going, and very accommodating. He put up with our requests and shenanigans.
Everyone found something they could eat which was a win for the night. The clear buffet favorite was banana bread. Figures. After dinner came dessert - small tray of delicacies. We tried everything and discussed our findings. And then came the show. We enjoyed the dancing and music and were totally intrigued by the costumes - loincloths on the men and coconut bras on the women.
All in all, it was a wonderful night. Everything was outside, and the temperature was perfect - no sweater for me! The place was lovely and everyone was so helpful and friendly. What a wonderful night.
