SWEETTTTTTTTTTTTT
Hey - all you folks going on August 28th!!
I will be there and know several other groups from TGM that will be there that night as well. I will be bringing lime green (DIS colored) nametags for anyone to wear who would like to meet other DIS or TGM'ers! I'll be there with DS16 and we'll both be in our lime green DIS shirts with lime green name tags so come say hi and fill out a nametag for yourself!
Mine will say marciemi (and then Marcie underneath), my son's will say marciemi's DS16 (and then Stephen underneath).
Come be sociable!
C U all there!!! Can't wait to put "faces to the names". marciemi, be sure I will introduce myself and all my friends to you!!
We need to have a Dis/dessert photopass photo taken to post here!!
It's nice to read an honest, unbiased review. We're doing it mostly for the location, and for a chance to meet up with several other DIS and TGM'ers who will all be at the same party. Since we'll be coming directly from dinner at 'Ohana, I think we're going to be pretty full before the party ever starts!
However, my biggest concern is regarding leaving afterwards. It will just be DS16 and I, and if we wanted, we could be poised to take off immediately after the last firework (kind of drift that way at the end). I know we'll get caught in crowds of people on Main Street (but at least we don't have a party of 8 or a stroller or anything), but once we clear the park, Pop has the last bus station, so we can probably pass a lot of people as we (literally) sprint to the bus.
But I'm wondering if the other way would work better. People say that the buffet is open after Wishes still and they don't rush you out. Did you find this to be the case? If so, maybe we'd be a lot happier if we hung out and socialized (since that's why we're going anyways!). Since we won't be that hungry coming in, I may not rush to get there right at the ADR time and spend more time on the rides. Get there and socialize right before Wishes and then after while the park clears. Then go back in a more relaxed fashion. My concern with this is that it sounds like from your review that we'll be incredibly hot and crowded anyway at this point and will just want to get out of there.
Any suggestions anyone?!
I can say we had an extremely different experience. We were there on July 12 and it was awesome. We got checked in very quickly at about 8:40/45p.m. with wristbands then walked around until the CMs came back to let people in. We were seated quickly and had plently of room for our party of 11 (6 adults/5 children)...2 tables one large round table and a standard square table.
The desserts were great, including the chocolate covered strawberries. People were curteous, but we also took our time...got a few desserts, then went back to get a few different ones, instead of trying to get one of everything on a plate.
I did not feel crowded or rushed. Our tables were up by the railing and maybe that helped with us not feeling so cramped. Tink "flew" right over us and we had a spot right on the rail for the kids to see fireworks. We did have to have two of our adults to fend off a spot for the kids as other adults from tables further back came to stand in front of our tables, but no biggie...there were enough of us to take turns and still make it relaxing. The fireworks wer fantastic and it was great viewing!!!
The photopass guy we had was great! Funny, talkative and great with the kids. We had pics done early on and right before we left.
We hung back and left after everyone else did which was nice. We chatted with the CMs and the Photopass guy and just enjoyed oursleves. It was EMH that night so we took our time.
It was also DS4's b-day that day and DD6 b-day trip, plus hubby and my 10th anniversary and our last night at the park...so this was a big splurge and I felt it was well worth it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Have a magical time!!!
Have fun!
That is great. I am still looking for the 25th. I have to keep trying.
I guess I must have been raising my voice because the poor CM said its not my fault. I had to apologize profusely to her and explain how hard it is to get this reservation. who not only put the 2nd child on but added the 3rd adult. Made my night. ) that I am on the phone for a half hour for them to check availability. My phone bill is going to be through the roof!
and so do my girls, this would be a blast for us!
Need your feedback, we are going in a month, what are my chances at this point? I am calling, but honestly sometimes the CMs are so slow or clueless for the dessert party (seriously, how is that possible?!
What do you think I should do at this point, I hate to give up, keep calling, walk up to podium? Since it sounds like everyone has had such a great time, and I LOVE desserts
TIA!
I was able to add on my daughter after an exhausting 2 weeks of calling.
This is what happened.
I called earlier today and I kept wondering why they kept saying 2 adults and 1 child. Something told me to call again and the CM said the same thing. NO WAY. I have 2 child and 2 adults. Well they said it looks like someone tried to readjust your reservation and they tried to credit $18.00 to you. For what?
I am trying to add one and not take away anything and besides no money was credited back to my account. Someone better fix it because I didn't cancel anything!
She asked me if I changed it myself on line and I said you can't even make this reservation on line so its someone on your end who made this error.
Well to get to the point, she put me on with a reservation Specialist
Thanks for letting me vent.
