Originally I SO wanted to do this. Then I took a step back & said ~
- On the DDP I get dessert with every meal.
- I also get a snack credit.
- Do I need to then spend an extra $80 for MORE suger?
So we decided no.
See..at DL I don't look at it as more sugar, i ask..is it worth it to have a nice place to watch without crowding and have a CHAIR? They had me at CHAIR...and Fantasmic is 60 PP.
There are always better use of money..like..not going on vacation. So we live super cheap year round and splurge on vacation. I'll be taking 5 for the fantasmic dessert..ALOT of money, but worth it to us. And no, we don't make big money or even decent money. I guess it's all about choices. I would jump at this in WDW, but I won't use the dining plan because I don't need that much food daily and not even the CS plan, since I'd just as soon get kids meals most of the time.
Disney has had dessert parties at Epcot for Illuminations for awhile. Brides book them all the time and I had one at my wedding in May. I paid $25 per person (plus tax and tip) for 11 people to sit right up front and stuff our faces on dessert for an hour while we watched the fireworks.
DEFINITELY worth it!!!
I would so do this at ECPOT!! It is my DHs fav park, and he/we always hit Illuminations at least once a trip. If we are there longer then 3 nites then it is 2xs a trip... I don't mind as they have Champange/beer there....
I don't think I am the one to ask about this. We did the Disneyland Fantasmic Dessert Package when we went about 7 years ago, and I think we paid about $47 for adults for it, not sure what the kids cost us. I booked the Wishes Dessert for our trip in August. The trip is a celebration for my DD's 16th with a few friends coming along. I was looking for something special to surprize them all with, and this became it. Wanted something that we would be able to pay for with our Disney Visa points, and this will leave us with extra. I was really debating before, but when I saw the pictures, I was sold. We usually eat Dessert for dinner or lunch once during vacation, and this will be the night.

It's $59 per person now and I'm considering booking it for DH and myself on our trip to DL in August. The WDW price seems really cheap to me in comparison.
F! dessert for $60 per person? As far as I know that is a dinner & the F! part ~ including seating ~ is free. I do need dinner & is it covered by DDP which I have. What I do not need is another dessert on top of the one I get with my dinner that is included under DDP & the dessert I get with my CS meal which is covered by my DDP on top of the snack which is also covered under my DDP. Now, of course, I could get all healthy desserts & snacks during that day & then shell out an extra $17.99 per person x 4 people + tax & gratuity for all the sugar I can eat & a seat under an awning ~ which may or may not obstruct my view. But, like you said, it is vacation so if it comes with my meal plan ~ great ~ if not I will save my money for something else.

Thanks so much!
I did the Fantasmic Dessert Package at DLR, and this looks really similar. I just wish that they'd do it all year and not just the summer.
