We did the dessert package for the first time on Monday. This was the highlight of our trip! We thought the package was a very good value.
First, the DL version is SO much better than the WDW version. We even had technically difficulty where the Mark Twain was not used, and it was still much better that WDW.
We got there one hour before check-in time. There was one group waiting in front of us. The CM kept telling us that we didn't need to wait. We decided to ride HM and returned to find we hadn't lost our place in line. We stayed until we picked our seats. We were told to come back 30 minutes prior to show. We decided to ride HM again. We then found a bench near the check in area. We got to the rope at 8:30. We thought it was odd that we were the only ones there. We soon discovered we were the last people to be seated. Everyone was enjoying drinks and their dessert trays when we got to our seats. I asked our seating neighbors and they told me that most everyone took their seats immediately and they started handing out trays and drinks shortly afterward.
We were given our trays and drinks and still had plenty of time to enjoy them before the show. Maybe this is because the show was delayed because there was a malfunction with the Mark Twain. A couple of people around us were complaining that we only saw a half of a show because Tick Tock and the Mark Twain weren't working. This was our first time, so we didn't know they were missing. The show was still amazing...no complaints.
I would pay the sixty dollars for the seat alone. We were able to wait for the fireworks. The CMs gave us refills on drinks during this time. The view is the best, but we loved the special effects that were displayed on ROA.
Thanks to Hydro and everyone who posted their experience. We will being doing this for all of our future visits.
