SOOOO disappointed this am. I could not get through for 2 hours and then when I finally was able to get through I was only hold for about 30 minutes only to be told the wine view and reserved seating are both sold out for the party for the senses on 11/1. It was our 20th anniversary....we were so excited to book the wine view lounge. I have called four times and have gotten the same answer every time that only general admission is available for that day.
ANYWAYS...I'm over it now. I have some questions though....has anyone here done a recent party as general admission? How "bad" is it or really is it that bad...i.e. crowded. etc. Give me the lo-down. Also....does anyone know that if I keep calling over the next few days that maybe they hold back a few seats everyday so they are not completely booked on the first day? Any help/guidance would be appreciated. THANKS!
I agree. I just can't stand to be left out. I am their target demographic.
1. The pavilions are, Canada, Greece, Hawaii, Desserts and Champagne.
2. You get 6 complimentary items, hard limit.
3. Drinks are part of your 6. So if you get 3 glasses of wine, that leaves you with 3 food items.
This is so true for me too, so I went ahead (after an hour and a half of crunching numbers) and booked the premium package. The cm found it right away, no problems booking.
$211.95 per person is STEEP but my October trip is already my blowout "fantasy" trip anyway (staying at a 1BR Grand Floridian Villa) so what's another $635.85? I feel like with the late night party, the gift card, the welcome bag, and the wine I don't mind paying ~$50ish for the VIP access, seats, and another magic band (that I need like a hole in the head). Oh Disney, just take my WHOLE paycheck, that's fine!
If anyone knows how this might work with a split stay, let me know. Thinking of adding another day to our trip.
What I'm not clear on is whether or not you can only use your credentials for the day you booked
My Premium Package just shows in MDE as the Tuesday night party thing. Hmm.
Nothing about a day from the Premium area? That could be a good sign.
Comment on Disney Food Blog indicates they were told it is one gift bag & gift card per room with the premium package...
This is the question I was asking myself
So the premium package gets you those reserved areas over multiple days?
If I am understanding this correctly, the only part of this event that is date specific is the night you want to attend the after hours party? Is that correct?

I think that is the great unknown. Some folks have been told that the reserved areas are not restricted to just one day, only the late night event is limted to one night. But I think there is still confusion.
All of my food and wine reservations (seminars and Shake & Indulge) SORT of show up in MDE (the time shows but they're blank) but when I click them to modify the guests on them, the app crashes. EVERY single time. Does anyone else have this problem?
See that's the deal breaker for me - if the reserved area access is for several days, I would book it but if it's only for one day, I don't think the value is there
I would think based on further info that you get in the swag bag:
1 bag per room (it's probably some kind of tote bag that you can keep) with:
1 premium credential per person you booked for
1 wine glass per person
1 magic band per person
1 bottle of wine per room
1 gift card per room
Can't even guess about the truffles.
Since it's just me I'm not going to be annoyed if it's just one gift card and one bottle of wine is definitely plenty. If true it does cut down on the value of multiple participants per room to get only one gift card and bottle of wine.
