It ends on my birthday, so if I go that weekend I'll have to check it out for sure, and find out if the view is any good. I've never watched it from there before.

Wow - this sounds really cool! And you can't beat the price. At Disneyland they charge $60 for the dessert buffet and reserved seating for Fantasmic...

Thanks for the heads up!
I just sent out the link to my central FL Disney peeps.
It would be so much fun to go to it together.

I swear I saw tables there roped off before Wishes when I was there this past week. Maybe they are test piloting it. It looked cool and it really is a good view.

Only until August, though...bummer! It does sound neat!

This is a great place to watch the fireworks! Our family always goes there! The one problem is that some of the seating is under a overhang and you can't see very well. The other thing is that as of today there is no way to know what will be served. I was told some sort of sweets and beverages??

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

This sounds very cool! I hope it takes off so that it's offered when we go next time.

 

[ChocoKat]

Yay! We are going July 11 with friends. Now to wait till Monday to make ressies.
I will report back and let you guys know how it went.

Our next trip to WDW is for my birthday in September. I'm SO intrigued by this Dessert Party option... The price seems fair. I hope it goes well, so Disney will consider extending it. I bet we'd meet a lot of other Disney fans up there.

Better yet, I wish there were more options like this in MK where we could plan our upcoming wedding events! Really, any early 2010 for new MK options would be AMAZING!

I thought they had already started this... Here are some pics a friend posted when they attended June 11th, maybe it was a cast preview, I don't know, but since they posted them on facebook I don't see the harm in posting it here too:

Facebook caption says: A few random assortments of deserts and blackberry tea at the Fireworks Desert party at the MK. June 2009.

Caption: Pistachio Creme Brulee!!!! YUM!! Mango shooter!! Banana Pudding desert thingies! ha... Had about 4 or 5 of each!!

No caption on this one, but that chocolate one looks more my style, yum

 

[MainStMandy]

Oh this would be an amazing option for WDW Brides!!

 

[ZeroToHero]

I wonder if they only rope off the tables that are out on the patio? I think there is a small area of tables that aren't under the roof.

They might just be piloting it and if it goes well they'll extend it

Yay!
Awesome! We just got reservations for July 11. I can't wait!
I told my friend we have to get dolled up and just go to MK later in the day so we can all have nicer photos taken in front of the castle. Most of the time we look like we have been running a marathon all day

 

[DisneyLover1234]

Ill be there Friday night, can't wait!

That sounds so awesome. Take tons of pictures! Just a warning though, photopass is so difficult to deal with/impossible to find between 8-11 because Main Street and the hub is insane due to the two Spectromagic shows and Wishes. We had such a hard time when we there last week.

Yes! I will try my best, also we will be bringing our own cameras, hope we can make some magic happen. My friends are also bringing their kids, they are a riot, so it's gonna be loads of fun.

 

[SailorsPrincess]

Yay!! I got reservations for the night of our 5 year wedding anniversary!

Thank you so much for posting this!

The woman on the phone said that it will be "stand up seating" only
