[shannonstar]

Times were in GMT!! I'll update to EST soon.

Sorry. I think it is too funny that such a little thing would send you into panic mode. What you have done is already so awesome!

I was just afraid that some of the 9AMs would become 4AMs, but that turned out not to be the case. Disaster averted.

This was me. LOL My daughter was getting married on August 20th and I spent the week on here watching for Oct to open up. LOL Boy was I happy when it was done. We had the first table so I must had been the first call for that day. Oh the memories. LOL Now I am waiting for November and I'm sure it will open up when I go back to work on Sept 6th. Looked today, nothting yet. pixie dust to us all.

If you look at the list of previous available dates, they typically fall in early weekday, mainly on Tuesday.

Since Monday is a holiday, I'm going to GUESS that Tuesday could be a very possible day.

Just a guess!

When I called yesterday to cancel my extra BoG ressie (Sat Nov 24, party of 2, 6:10PM if anyone is interested), I asked the CM about Wishes for November and she looked, but had no info but agreed that Tuesday is usually a good bet.

For some reason I think some of the dates were already EST but more than the first half had been GMT.

Hurry up Tuesday, of course I'll be disappointed if its not. It just seems like I've been waiting so long to book this, never been to the party before and desperately want it this trip.

Is it true they usually open the reservations in the afternnoon?

But a few recently opened as early as 9AM. The important thing is I've quit getting up at 5AM CST to check on availability.

If Wishes starts at 8pm, is it even possible to watch the MSEP and make it to the Dessert Party in time? This is for a wednesday in December. If we try to do this where would be the best place to see the parade and still make it to the Tomorrowland Terrace without missing anything?

There's generally a 5 to 10 minute delay between the parade and the fireworks. Someone here may be able to give you a more exact time, but it is possible to walk from one to the other... but on that note, the dessert party is going on during the parade, and if you wait till the fireworks begin, some of the desserts may be gone by that time. For standing purposes, you'd want to be near either the Tomorrowland bridge or near the Plaza icecream shop...for a good site of the parade, then a quick jaunt to the Dessert Party.

Hope this helps

Still Patiently waiting! Never thought I would say I can't wait for the weekend to be over!!

I hope those still waiting get some openings this week I'm so glad that ours is booked....it was so hard waiting.

We watched the parade from the terrace while eating our desserts. The view isn't as bad as I thought. There are some spaces between the trees and we saw all the floats. The music is quite loud so there's no issue with hearing it. It was much better than fighting the crowds to go out and get back. Several desserts were not replenished once they ran out (including the delicious mango shooters!)

You asked if you could, and the answer is maybe or probably.

If you care to get an opinion as to whether you should, then here's one vote for "no."

First, it's well worth it to get to the party as soon as it begins. You get settled in, get your first shot at the dessert buffet, and get a nice picture with the castle in the background (they have a pro photographer there). By the time the fireworks are about to start, you can go back for seconds, and the buffet is dwindling. If you arrive just in time for the fireworks, you will have missed most of the value and they may have few desserts left.

Also, you can see the light parade, distantly and with some obstructions, from the terrace. If you want to get a better view of the light parade, you are going to have to get pretty close to make the difference worthwhile--closer than the Tommorowland bridge, I think. And then, when the parade is over, you will have to turn around and weave your way through a crowd that is streaming toward the front of the castle to see fireworks. Worse, you will have to work your way through crowds where people have firmly planted themselves in a prime fireworks viewing spot. Places like the bridge (which you'd have to cross to get back to the Terrace) get pretty clogged because they have prime viewing spots. You risk not getting back in time.

Bottom line: I'd choose the Dessert Party and stick with it.

I've got two nights planned at MK so that I can do MSEP one night and the Wishes Dessert the other. Now, if I can't get a Wishes Dessert ticket, I may move things around, but who knows. LOL

It is possible- we have done it.

But we will never do it that way again, so I would not suggest it.

We checked in to the dessert party, and got our wristbands. Then we rushed to Main st. and got in place to watch the parade. After it went by, we ran to the dessert party as fast as we could and were seated. It was probably around 9:15 or 9:20, and the party and parade had started at 9:00.

There were plenty of desserts left for us, but not every type of dessert was still available- specifically, there was no pistachio creme brulee. This was the first of four dessert parties we have attended, and the creme brulee is always one of the first things they run out of.

Anyway, I found the whole thing very stressful, which the whole point of the party is to avoid.

Ever since, we do the parade and the dessert party on different nights.

I just made my November ressie.

It was at the beginning of the month so I don't know how far into the month is open.

Good Luck
