Wishes Dessert Party ADR Watch Thread # 2 - September 2013 OPEN!!!

[AngiTN]

Me too! See you there!! HAHA. And now, that's officially the last thing I needed to book for my trip in 18 days!!!

If you see a little 5 yr old Pirate girl, you'll find us. Melody has PL makeover that afternoon

And we look correct on the reservation thread. Thanks for this.

Quick question. How does it work for both 7pm and 9pm time slots with only 1 Wishes? I picked the 9pm slot since it was the closest to the fireworks, but now I'm second guessing myself. If you have the 7pm, do you eat, leave, and then come back for the fireworks? I would assume you wouldn't have a table at that point. Anyone?

Don't worry about the times of the Party. There is only one party, and the party opens about 1 hour before the fireworks begin...sometimes earlier. The times mentioned are more for the reservation process with Disney, and has no bearing as to when you arrive.

Edit to add: All tables are preassigned, so it doesnt matter if you're first ...or last at the party...you'll still receive the same table and location.

I am going the same day as you and I called for my ressie and I was told 9 (wasn't given the option like online). We went on our last trip and they only let everyone in an hour before the party which we be 9 on our day.

Because Wishes is scheduled earlier on slow nights when they close earlier and later during busy nights/summer. They set the proper time when the reservation opens.

How much does it cost? How long r u aloud to stay at the table?

 

[#1eeyoregirl]

I'm waiting for May.. How much was it per person... I want to get a gift card for the amount so I have it set aside specifically for Wishes..,

I didn't get the breakdown per person, but for my group of 3 adults and two children (9 & 5) it was $121.37 if that helps at all.

 

[can'twaittobewarm]

Just booked party of 5 for March 30th at 9 pm!!!

$23.99 plus tax (6.5%) for adults 10 & over. Don't know about kids because the only ones going with me on this trip are "Disney adults".

In "peak" seasons it is $4 more per person, but I have no idea what Disney is considering peak season these days. I didn't realize that Presidents' week fell into the surcharge dates until I booked the party for our new dates in early March and got a cheaper total.

This is very good to know, but out of curiousity...have you ever heard of the preassigned names getting switched from table to table? We have an Ohana ressie at 5:30 the evening of our dessert party and would prefer not to "rush" over to the MK after. Since the tables are preassigned, that is a huge relief but "what if" I have a great front row table( ) do you think a family that arrives before me is able to take my assigned table name and switch it with theirs or does the CM watch out for this sort of behavior??? I know 99% of the families would never think of doing this...but their are always a few bad eggs in the batch

P.S. Loving that thread that you do with everyone's dates of party and # of people in each

Sorry for somewhat butting in, but we just did the Dessert Party during our trip a few weeks ago, and if someone were to try to move the table name, they'd have to literally tear it off the table. They are taped down to the table, probably both so people don't try to switch and also so the name tags don't get blown away from any sudden gusts of wind.

I just booked March 19 for a party of four!! I've always wanted to do this and it will be our 8 yr old granddaughters first trip to WDW.

Thanks to everyone for keeping this thread going, that's how I found out it was open.

 

[tallygirl]

Forgot to say that price was 29.81 for adults and 15.97 for kids for that date. Hate paying that much but we'll probably only do it once.

 

[zomama]

if they just opened up march does that mean May wont be open until April?

 

[Mickey1976]

I'm SO happy for all your Marchers that got your ressies!!!!

I've been stalking this thread for the last few days to see when it would open...we aren't going until August (get to make my ADRs on Friday, WOO HOO!) but I was rooting for you I just tried making a ressie and there's still spaces so that's great to know for me when August rolls around...hopefully it doesn't become too popular and we'll be on the ball on here like you all were

Enjoy!!!

Without going through all 44 pages....are all the tables good? I see they are all assigned, so basically it is luck of the draw to get more toward the front, but is there any better/worse locations there. Will be with a 7 and 3 yr old who can't see over standing adults, so we always try for railing-type seating. Thanks

So I saw at 4am local Pacific time this morning that it wasn't open yet. Went to work and saw a flurry of posts when I checked at lunch and saw posts of people booking March. I quickly called Disney dining and the cast member I spoke with said nothing was available!! I was starting to freak out, rechecked this forum and thought maybe I need to book online... but I called back got a different helpful and informed cast member and I am booked for Tues March 5th!!!

 

[glvsav37]

This isn't a 180 day ressie? That what it says on the web site. We are going late July/early aug.
