OK, so when you had mentioned a "3D Dessert Party", you really meant a 3D DESSERT PARTY! Honestly I thought it was just something you added. I had no idea it was really a thing. But oh I so want to do something in the Events Pavilion to just, you know, SEE the Events Pavilion.
I have heard of those glasses. Apparently (if they're the same thing) you can use them during the fireworks to see little Mickey heads. I want these glasses.
(edit: yes you covered this later)
It was pretty cool to be inside the Events Pavilion, although before this event I didn't know there was such a thing.
We thought maybe they just named it 3D because it was
Disney's
Dessert
Discovery (which I guess is part of it too) but we didn't know there would be 3D glasses involved as well!
Haha, nice priority... Desserts before seats!
Now THAT is a party!
Priorities, Rob, priorities!
See, when you don't plan it and just spontaneously run into people, isn't that so much better?? How cool!
OK, so now you've covered watching the fireworks with the glasses. (Yeah, I jot down thoughts as I read which sometimes makes me look stupid).
GAHHHHH those fireworks shots. It really shows how much "pyro" is happening. Beautiful!!!!
Awwww looks like Pax had a good night.
It was pretty cool that we had 2 random meet ups with MEK. She's such a great person!! It was nice to see her again unexpectedly.

I did kind of think to myself, "Uhhhh..." when I read your first comment about the glasses since I was pretty sure I had included that info in the post.
The combination of pyro and fireworks is what I really enjoy about IllumiNations! I thought DH did a good job capturing that.
Give that kid a playground and he is good to go.
I am drooling. SO MANY DESSERTS!!! The hot donuts with ice cream sound absolutely heavenly.
To be honest, Illuminations is my least favorite of the nighttime entertainment at Disney, but those are some amazing pictures! I bet it was so cool to watch with the 3D glasses.
Oh man, that donut was absolutely fantastic! The desserts were really amazing. I only kind of wish there had been more variety. But it was still all very delicious and a lot of fun!
I agree, IllumiNations is last on my list. But DH did an awesome job on the pictures! It was waaaay cooler to watch with the 3D glasses. I meant to remember to bring them to watch Wishes later in the week, but I forgot! DS still likes to put them on sometimes and see the Mickey heads when he looks at the lights.
That dessert party looked like so much fun and super yummy! Those donuts...I never would have thought!
It was definitely a great experience! We were both very happy we had chosen to pay a little extra for the event.
Well, first of all I am glad to see that Paxton had a fun evening while you enjoyed date night.
Secondly, those dessert all looks amazing! And I totally cracked up over the Fresh Prince clip.



I loved that show! So glad you both enjoyed the party.
Lastly, I just want to steal those firework pictures. They are so perfect. I took terrible firework pictures in October. I'm not even sure if I can post them.

Yup - they are that bad.
All in all I would have to say that date night was a total success!
I can watch re-runs of Fresh Prince all day long, but that is definitely one of my top favorite episodes! Glad you enjoyed the clip.

The desserts were just as amazing as they looked!!
Oh goodness, I'm sure they aren't that bad! Although maybe if you had beer (wine?) goggles on while taking them...
Definitely a success!
What a great Epcot night! All those desserts sounds delicious. A watermelon cucpcake?! Ice cream shaped like a hot dog...

It all sounds like it would be a fun thing to experience. Except, I'm like you and am not a big drinker, so I don't think I'd get my money's worth out of it.
Fantastic IllumiNation photos. They make me wish I could be there to see them later tonight.

And I had no idea they could make the show 3D! (I'm not surprised, everything can be that way now, but still...) A pretty interesting addition to the show.
Yeah, we probably didn't get our money's worth entirely, but we were happy with our decision. I don't think it's something we'd make a tradition, but I would definitely do it again on a future trip. The desserts were absolutely fantastic!
It was really cool watching the fireworks with the Mickey heads! I saw quite a few people trying to take pictures by holding the glasses over the camera lens, but I don't think that would actually work.

It would be pretty cool if it did though to show the effect!
