fantasmic! dessert party

[danders2]

We are thinking of doing a fantasmic dessert party. I think I would prefer wishes, but dh strongly wants fantasmic . Does anyone have links to the menus offered there. We have the ones for epcot

Also, is it worth it to have Disney photography at the fantasmic desert party? Do you have any pictures to share?

thanks!

I used items off the standard event menus for my DP. We've traded out our ceremony photography to have them at the DP as well... We'll see how everything turns out August 13th

The dessert menus are all standardized now, so you can get the same things at DHS that you'd get at Epcot, or you can completely customize a menu. I have shots of a Fantasmic dessert party at the bottom of this page: http://disneytravelbabble.com/disney-weddings/wdw-venue-photos/fantasmic/

I was thinking of doing this as a welcoming dinner for my Wishes wedding. The prices for the dinner and desert are both really good. The problem for me is, do the guests need a pass for the park to come to our desert/diner party? I dont know what time all my guests are arriving. I do believe some are coming that evening.

Thank you!

No, you would pay a viewing fee for guests who don't have admission (unless you switch to Epcot, in which case you'll pay the fee regardless of whether they have admission).
