Club Villain is universally reviewed as the best premium experience at WDW. I don't think you can really compare. The only thing that I'd wonder is the cost and having an underage disney adult who can't drink... but if you are ok with that... people LOVE club villain!

I agree that CV was one of the most amazing things I've ever done at WDW. There's also no comparison between that event and any of the dessert parties. But if there are only funds to do one and you enjoy the villains AT ALL, do Club Villain. You won't be disappointed. And it's still possible to watch JBJB without the dessert party.

Inside the Magic posted a few dessert party pics on their Twitter timeline.

Just watched the dis' video on YouTube. Not sure why they went with the oogie boogie song. They could have done the what's this song and had Santa Claus visiting jack to consult about Christmas. Kind of takes you out of the Christmas spirit to have so much of the show taken up by a Halloween song.

I think I had imagined it'd kind of be like a Wayne and Lannie checking in on Disney characters Christmas eve. Then they'd use them as a framing device and do short clips of fab five Christmas (kind of like they did) and beauty and the beast and muppets and so on.

I suggest that the entire group, or at least a good portion of it, check-in as soon as the podium opens so that it can be towards the front of the entry Que. That way you'll get the pick of the tables when the venue opens.

where would we check in-- so where does the line start?

Thought the exact same --- so many better ways they could have done the "NBC" segment--- to start off with the Halloween projections didn't fit with the theme of this show, and needed more Sandy Claws--- ( btw, really wished Sandy Claws would have been the VIP guest at the dessert party) --- Santa Goofy seems like an easy way out. Will definitely check out the show, but doesn't seem like the dessert party will be worth it for us now, especially with a 5 and 10 year old ---

Thanks as usual, yullin !! Great review and cemented our decision to cancel --- with two little ones, I really don't feel like having to wait 7 mins to get a drink or food, given the price of the party, and the time allotted (1 hour)
Also, not that thrilled that the review said it was overcrowded ( which it seemed like it was, given a number of the photos that were posted)

Just a quick question ---- have never cancelled a prepay event --- ( Used to always attend "Wishes Dessert Party)
Safe to do online, and not have to worry about the refund going back to our card, or is calling the safer/better option ? I try to avoid calling Disney as much as possible ! )

TIA !!

online is fine but the credit will go back in a couple of days, not right away. Maybe you can post the day and number of guests you are cancelling in case someone here is looking for that date

I've cancelled several online, no issue. Takes 5 days or so for the refund to show up on my card.

The reviews really have me questioning if I should keep our party reservation. It will be DS(17) and myself and he might enjoy Club Villain more. What to do???

Club Villain is amazing. I would pay double for that event. Tons of desserts and the savory menu is a full meal and Delicious. I have not attended the Dessert party yet( we attended Dec. 3) but from the review here Club Villain will far exceed your expectations. They really are 2 very different events. But if your looking for getting the mot of our money sounds like Club Villain is your better bet even thought it is more expensive.

Gonna have to show my fam the pics/food. I have a feeling they'll still wanna do it, but we're already spending A LOT on our trip and honestly, we could probably find a solid spot if we plan out our day well enough and save the money for snacks we really want.

HUGE THANKS to all who provided on-site info and pix about this event! The second I saw this event posted, I booked it for me and my elderly mother. She LOVES holidays at WDW, so I try to take her every other year. We've always done the Wishes party since it first began. When they changed the Wishes Party so you could book it 180 days out, we missed it last time. It was a nightmare as my mother cannot stand for long periods of time, and while trying to help her up from the Main Street curb after the parade, she was nearly trampled! Never again!

The videos of projections are always a challenge. Nightmare is of less than zero interest to us, but I have always adored Prep & Landing! Do I wish there was perhaps a better story? Sure, but this is seasonal so it's tough to expect Wishes or Illuminations. Do I wish there was more fireworks? Who doesn't?

For the party, special thanks for those pics. Based on the above we will get there nice and early to guarantee my mother a seated chair and table. Anything holiday with snow and Christmas music she should enjoy. For the food, I not excited about any of the savory. However, except for the lemon, I will likely eat my weight with all the sweet treats! Chocolate & mint? Bring it on!

So my only question is about the VIP Viewing area. My mother is definitely "vertically challenged". Knowing this, any advice on where we should try to root ourselves? I'm not familiar with the area, as I've never done a fireworks/show on the Theatre before.

Great garland! Christmas Day is almost here, but Jolly Old Saint Nick is nowhere to be found. Luckily, Wayne and Lanny are on the job… and they won’t rest until the Big Guy’s back at the North Pole. Consider this a “cranberry red” situation—classified “Kringle Level 9!”

Come along for holiday hijinks as the top-notch team encounters moments of seasonal cheer and togetherness. Their snowy search culminates with an epic showdown in Halloween Town from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, as Wayne and Lanny are forced to rescue Santa—and save Christmas in the process!

Feel the warmth of holiday magic as the park transforms and surrounds you in unforgettable Disney moments.

Each night from November 14 to December 31, 2016, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will take the joy, excitement and music of the season to dazzling new heights! Watch in wonder as buildings and rooftops come alive, and immerse you in beloved scenes from Bambi, Cinderella and a special sequence from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. It all builds to a festive finale that must be seen—and heard—to be believed.

Featuring traditional holiday tunes, state-of-the-art projections from Disney Animation classics, special effects, fireworks and even a little snow, it’s a spectacular evening celebration you won’t soon forget!
Are you prepped? Then don’t miss Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! only at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

This has been such a wonderful and informative thread! Thank you, @yulilin3, for keeping us all up to date! We featured your thread on today's edition of the DIS Daily Fix too.

Also, thought I'd share the amazing view of last night's Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! as recorded by a member of the DIS Unplugged team with you guys!

We plan on doing the same ---- we already have Pirate and Pals booked ( my kids fave) and with the money we spent on the JBJB dessert party, we might do La Nouba instead -- (always love the show) or a nice dinner and movie at DS --- I can sort of justify the cost of the dessert party for DW and I ( even if the show looks to be a bit underwhelming) , but not for the lil ones.

Yeah, I mean, we're an older family. We'll all probably have a drink or two and my mom and I LOVE desserts. We're going Christmas week, though, so I do worry about the wait times, etc. for drinks.
