Illuminations Dessert Party and Fantasmic! Package

[MaryKatesMom]

I have been calling every morning trying to get both for March and they are "not on the calendar yet". I go through the whole spiel, name, address, email, phone only to tell me it isn't available. So then I prompt them to check is on the calendar yet and they inevitably say "Keep calling back it isn't on the calendar yet."

This morning I get a CM who goes right to checking the calendar and says it isn't on and they may be making changes to both. Has anyone heard anything? She definitely sounded like she had a clue.

I haven't heard anything specifically about either package but they typically aren't available 180 days in advance like other ADRs.

Wishes dessert party has been up.

They also aren't on the calendar for January.

Well they did make changes to the Wishes dessert party recently so it is possible that is the reason.

I booked it but didn't realize changes had been made. What are they?

I've noticed that they don't schedule Illuminations too far in advance because they give private parties a chance to book first.

Wishes prices went up and that was about it

Still nothing! If Disney wants us to plan out 180 days in advance then they should do the same.

Illumination has changed since last summer. You no longer get the front viewing area. It off to the side. The fast pass people get the best view now. They also eliminated Mickey bars and fried donuts. I usually don't complain but it was lame compared to the previous year. I will still probably book for next Sept. We do both dp's.

The Fantasmic! package is now out for 2016 but not the Illuminations Dessert Party.
