Thanks for the photos! I can kind of tell, but can you give me an idea of how people were dressed for the parties? I know the restaurants are always pretty casual, but curious if a sport coat is needed for the galas. Totally get that NYE might be dialed up a little bit, but am specifically wondering what the 1/6 event could look like.
That’s also kinda stunning that there was not even a few drink tickets involved for the price they charge. Seems like beverages may have been included in the past based on a response I got from someone last September.

Lastly, if anyone from this thread will be on-property next week and would like company at happy hour, let me know! Two years ago I met a wonderful couple (from this forum) and their little daughter - it really was a highlight of the trip.
