Fireworks Dessert Party

[drdrowsy]

I just posted about this. For May 23 it shows sold out for me for 6 pm (only time option offered). Isn't the fireworks at like 9pm?

i think when they originally post the reservations (usually 180 days out), park hours may not be solidified or properly entered into the system, so they just put a random time in. This happened to me last time too, wishes was at 8, but the reservation time was 6:20. They started letting people in a little before 7 and started serving at 7.

Any chance of getting in without a reservation (probably not, right)? I didn't realize this could be booked 180 days and and now there is nothing fro our trip during the last week of April.

keep looking, multiple times a day, you may get lucky. Also, keep an eye on the reservations cancellations threads on this site.

I think the reservations need to be canceled 5 days in advance to qualify for a full refund, so if you haven't gotten one by then, i might step up the looking 10 or so days before you want the reservation.

seeing pictures of the new wishes FP+ areas, those seem to be very good alternatives, if you're looking for reducing the impact of the crowds

It wasn't available 180 days in advance for May. When I called a few weeks later when it still wasn't there they said the earliest would be 90 days ahead. I looked online at 70/75 days out and they were sold out!

Out of curiosity, I looked and found availability for the dessert party in mid-May while I was booking our 180+10 ADRs (this was about noon Eastern on November 17, 2014). I didn't book it (then or when it popped up a week or so later). I wonder why it showed up at 180 days for me but not others?

We did it twice, last year and the year before. We thought it was great. Sound is a bit quiet, but the view and desserts were great.

Do have an idea about what the speculation is regarding possible changes? Just curious.

Just heard that they were going to revamp it somehow. Rumors also speculate that the price will increase...that's all I have heard

Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised to see a price increase. It's much less than the Illuminations buffet and from what I can see, the only difference is no alcohol and you get a table to sit at.

We did this last May and really enjoyed it.

We didn't have to stake out a spot or fight any crowds and we got a great view of the fireworks.....we felt that the cost was worth it for our family of 4.
