Enchantment: After-party or Pre-party?

[EpcotPhoenician]

Does anybody know if there are major difference between these two parties, besides the timing? It appears that the pre-party starts at 6:30 PM, and the after-party at 7 PM. The after-party description mentions that you are escorted to the plaza for preferred viewing of Enchantment; is that the only difference?

Thanks!

The only difference is that, pre-party, you eat the desserts first, then go to the plaza garden. The after-party goes in reverse - you watch the fireworks at plaza garden and then go to the terrace for dessert.

Thanks! Sounds like the after party is for us... to avoid the mass exodus after Enchantment.

I've only done a pre-party, in the days before COVID. We would just hang out in the hub for a bit while the crush of people left the park, and when it was down to a manageable level, we would leave. I have heard that the after party people often have a difficult time making their way through that tidal wave of humanity in order to get to get across to the Tomorrowland Terrace for their desserts. That may not be a huge factor for you, but it is there.

Has anyone done the party that stays on the terrace during the fireworks? It's called "Treats and Seats." It looks like it's a little more expensive and I love the idea of not moving, but is it a good view?
Edited to add: I'm also curious about the ferrytale fireworks cruise - looks like that's the same price as the pre-party. Anyone tried that? Thanks!

We have done both pre-party and after-party . I prefer the pre-party . The desserts are fresh and cold . The energy is better also. It just feels more exciting.The sun is setting , it is beautiful. The after-party felt like what it is an after party . While some say the desserts are new and fresh they weren’t as cold . It just wasn’t as exciting. We had to push our way to get to the Tomorrowland terrace after the fireworks. Just my experience. Have fun whatever you choose !
