we have chosen to do the SW Desert party as read all good reviews about it. I was thinking of doing another one, Which other one would you recommend to do if you had a choice, and any reason why you would choose this option.
Thanks in advance
 
illumitantion you get wine at the desert party or so I have heard,

Wishes you do not

The region why I do them is because I like lier works but I do not like crowds so I will do wishes about 1 time a year ( ok exactly a year for my Bday) I have not done Illumination because you can A still get a FP to see them and B you can find a place to watch that is not crowded and still have a great view.

I am going to do SW one day but I just really love wishes.

I hope this helps
 
You're gonna love the SW's one! Hands down our fave! The only "extra" we've done that we'd repeat every trip if we could! Very hard to top the value in food (great desserts & their savory options are wonderful) adult drinks, & perfect view of the show! (Get to the party early to be the 1st in, then head out before the Storm Troopers to get a spot along the front rope. You'll still get to see them march out, plus the best spot in the designated area).

We were underwhelmed with the Wishes one. Tons of sweets (which in my opinion were just "ok). But, the view was worse than any other we normally have. We won't do it again. We're happier grabbing our own ice cream & getting a spot in the old FP area.

For a (maybe one & done) different experience, Pirate & Pals was a lot of fun. Not really a dessert party as the food selections were not abundant. But, the character M&G's were awesome, the boat guides hilarious, & it's a unique experience watching Wishes from the water. We're glad we experienced it once. While we saw families with kids, there were also a lot of adults doing it on their own. Def not just a "kid" experience. We even saw a proposal with Peter Pan.

We've never done the Illuminations one for the same reasons as above. But, many friends say it's their favorite due to the wine and view of the show.

Is the HS one the same price as the MK one? I think I might try it.

Also the MK one you can stay where they have the dessert (witch is sounds like you did )or you can go to the old FP viewing area
 

HS desert party is the most expensive at $70 per person (i think) but it's not really much more than the MK one.
 
Tia1977 could you let me know where the old FP Area is, so I can put it down to view the fireworks in September. Thankyou

@Robo has a great map of it you can find it here https://www.disboards.com/threads/wdw-maps-by-robo.3545729/#post-56460944

second post second( opps the 4 one is what I was thinking of) map it is the purple ( left side) area there is not longer a FP so you will need to get there early depending on how crowded it is, the other side is the dessert sewing area

You're right, we stayed where we were and should've movedo_O

The HS one is $20 more a person...$70 vs $50. It was so worth it though!:lovestruc
 
We did the Illuminations one, and we were not impressed for the price of it. It does include food and some alcohol, but we couldn't get over the murky smell in the viewing area. Wish there were places to sit too. After being in the parks all day, the last thing we wanted to do was stand for Illuminations.
