It's the dog days of summer. Why not host a party in a walk-in freezer, such as the space at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel in Florida? Though the hotel began offering fetes in the freezing locale five years ago, they've seen a recent increase in the offering's popularity.
"The freezer space allows us to execute some unique party themes like a fire-and-ice party featuring propane-fueled lanterns," said food and beverage director Tony Porcellini. The space has also been used for Russian-themed events with vodka and caviar bars. To keep guests from getting too chilly in the freezer, which holds 60, staffers dole out parkas; they also adjust the temperature from 30 to 40 degrees and have parties spill over into adjacent spaces.
