I feel your pain with the dessert party. It was pouring down rain the day we did it a couple of weeks ago as well. The ground in the party was so slippery we had to be so careful walking around carrying plates and then we couldn't see well because we didn't want to stand in the rain at the railing the entire show and to top it off Tink couldn't fly. It was nice but not great. Sounds like we both were just very unimpressed. Glad you still had a good time though and used it as an opportunity to beat the bus lines back which often times is totally worth missing a little of something if you ask me especially with little ones I'm sure. Also, that's awesome how you were able to keep rolling with the bonus fastpasses. Were you able to get pretty much instant ones or did you have to wait for the time to come?
Yes! I totally forgot about how slippery the ground was in the party! Youre absolutely right! Dangerous!!
The fastpasses were pretty much instant, some maybe just 15 min out or something, but all we were able to go straight to and ride if we wanted to! Some we chose to wait longer, like when we had lunch.
My goodness - sounds like quite the wet night - but sometimes things like that can lead to unexpected memories, like the time you had on the side street. Those are definitely an underappreciated area of MK.
That's cool you got to see Space Mountain with the lights on - is think seeing how crammed in there all the steel is makes it even scarier in som ways!
Sorry about the less than stellar time at the dessert party. We did it last trip and enjoyed it - though we didn't have the issue of all the moisture impacting the desserts. Overall I thought most of them were really solid, though none really amazeballs or anything. Sorry Tink didn't fly - one of the cool parts is how she flies in basically right over your head.
Not sure if we will do it again given the price increase, but we enjoyed doing it once
I totally agree, you can always find something new and awesome to stumble upon in Disney, and on days like these you often find something you wouldnt have if youd stuck to your plans!
It is SUPER crammed in Space Mountain! EEK!!
I agree about that price increase, I wont be doing it again, but I mentioned to someone else that my friends always do the epcot one and the LOVE it bc it had made to order items, always fresh and hot!
Love this one!!!
Yeah I heard a few reports of this before our trip and it was what kept me from doing the dessert party myself.
I will try the epcot one probably next time,
I'm sorry the dessert party was more of a flop.
That empty part of Main Street was awesome!
I love that pic too, playing in the rain in disney = love!!
You just never know when you are going to make memories at the MK! Even though it was wet it seems like it was a great day!
I'm sorry the dessert party wasn't everything you hoped it would be. The types of desserts they serve do seem like they would be pretty yucky in the heat. It does look like a pretty awesome view of wishes though!
The view was just okay to me, it was no better than our usual spot... but at least I knew I didnt have to fight people for it and wait too early in advance. You kind of have a side view though, so hard to see all the castle projections clearly.
Yes, I'm so jealous! Hanson love runs deep.
Ugh with the rain. Seems like you made the most of it though. We've been fans of the dessert party, but feel like the quality has gone down a bit. Not that the dessert isn't good, but I feel like it used to be great. We do enjoy being able to watch the fireworks away from the hectic crowds - much calmer experience. Good thing you beat the droves out of the park!
Hanson
and YES! Yay for beating the crowds to the bus!!
Glad you were able to spend some time drying out your feet- wet socks/shoes are never fun!
Sorry the dessert party was disappointing
Yes wet feet are no bueno, but its okay, bc I was in Disney! LoL!! Dessert party was a bit of a flop, but I am glad we tried it, especially before the crazy price increase!
Awesome that you saw the lights on in SM! I got to experience that a few years ago. I'm really glad the lights are off when you are actually on the ride though. Some of those beams look awfully close.
I love that little alcove off of MS. Mom and I did the Keys to the Kingdom Tour and we spent a bit of time back in there while our guide went over some stuff.
Sorry the dessert party didn't live up to your expectations. I did it in December and had a wonderful time. The desserts were fine then probably because of the cooler weather. And I didn't notice anything with the sound, I wonder if a speaker was broken when you were there?
Yea, it does make you think twice about holding your hands up on space... lol..
Thats true on the weather for the dessert party, yours were probably perfect, darn humidity!!
That's so scary.. we watched a
youtube video with the lights on... I will NEVER put my hands up on that ride again!!!
Oh No... No No.. Wet feet are a HUGE problem with me... Sorry you had to endure that one!!!
This is the best picture ever and i really HOPE you have this framed somewhere in your home... the color the clarity! Fantastic picture!!!!
Wow, I need to look for that video!!
Wet fit are a major problemo for me too.. we are soooo in the same boat on that one, it was awful! This happened to me TWICE!! I had to break down and by some uncomfy Disney flip flops the second time
WOW! Glad to hear you like that photo! Thats quite a compliment from YOU! I will for sure be framing it now, and I will think of you when I see it!
We were underwhelmed with the Dessert Party as well, but it was mainly due to Chelsea getting a stomach bug and getting sick and the nearest restroom was tiny and there was a huge line and we missed most of it waiting in that tiny bathroom. We did leave before the crowds and that was really a good decision.
Didn't know that about the signing and that side street. I always see the side street, but the kids won't stop.
I am loving the updates.
Yea, that sucks on getting sick, I was extremely careful on how much desserts we ate for fear of that, walking into it sick would really stink though!!!
Glad youre loving the updates!
Pretty pictures on main street! The desserts look yummy.
Thank you!
Oh Hanson!! I love you already!!! Isn't it the best combination EVER?!?!?!? HANSON AND DISNEY!!! SQUEEEE!
So, so strange to see it that way. It's funny how much difference lighting makes.
