Dessert Party @ Epcot in Nov

Anybody know what time dessert party would be in November at Epcot? Trying to plan wedding and dinner time and unsure what to do.

IllumiNations always shows at 9pm, except for at Christmastime, when it shows at 9:30pm. So it may depend on which part of the month you're talking about, since Disney's holiday season bleeds into November.

Standard procedure is to have a 1-hour dessert party that starts 30 minutes before the show. Some people choose to extend the party by half an hour, which moves the start time up. So if IllumiNations is at 9pm, you'd start at 8:30pm or 8pm.

Thank you! Do you pay extra to extend?

Our Epcot DP was on November 1, 2012. It was from 8:00-9:30, with food service from 8:00-9:00. There was no option for us to do it for only an hour, but we we're charged the exact venue rental fee that Carrie had in the book, plus the cost of the food we chose.

Extending the time is free. If you want more than one hour of food service, you pay a prorated amount per guest based on the cost of your menu.
