During AIBTM 2014 held in Orlando, Anita Goodstory (receptionist) and the Disney Meetings team provided a brief overview of the meetings experience while the Disney’s fab 5 — Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto — setup the GM Test Track corporate lounge at Epcot with music and dinner. And the room provides a wall of windows and a direct view of Spaceship Earth, the iconic symbol of Epcot.
While our group was roughly 35, the space can be used to host events up to 120 guests.
Menu highlights during the event included:
- Pasta with baby arugula, artichokes, portobello mushrooms and eggplant
- Shrimp with chorizo, tomato and okra
- Carved to order: pork tenderloin, beef tenderloin
- Cooked to order: chicken breast, lamb chops, corvina filet
