MK "Happily Ever After" Dessert Party (Parties) Discussion

[ArielSRL]

This has probably been asked and discussed but any ideas when July 4th will come available? I did book it last year but it was well after it was released and it was actually sold out and then I lucked out and got it booked eventually.

Or did I manage to miss it? Anyone have it booked?

I just started stalking for the 3rd, nothing yet. There's a watch thread where a bunch of people are anxiously waiting. https://www.disboards.com/threads/july-3-4-2020-mk-fireworks-dessert-parties-watch-thread.3784315/

Has anyone been able to confirm if the Dessert party with the plaza garden view really is the only one that will not offer alcohol ? I saw that it was pointed out in prior posts but i didn’t see where anyone was able to get clarification. Was about to book for March this afternoon but don’t want to if alcohol is not included. Thanks!

if you look on the website there is no mention of beer or wine at that one and it is $10 cheaper than the after party (with beer and wine) and $20 cheaper than the tomorrowland terrace party (also with beer and wine.)

It would appear the before party is the only one that does not include alcohol. The after party and terrace view do.

Thank you both! It just seemed weird. Not so much the after party but both the seated and plaza view are sharing the same food/drink space right? Just seems like an unnecessary extra step to have to verify which of age people can and can’t drink . Maybe they don’t want people wandering off the terrace with the alcohol though.

They don't share the same space. Terrace is on the lower level, Plaza view is on the upper level.

Ahh ok well that makes a lot more sense! We’ve never considered this one before because of the no alcohol so my knowledge compared to the other parks dessert parties is non-existent! Thank you so much for your help!

I'm not entirely sure if these posts are talking about the before or after dessert parties. I can vouch for the fact that neither the terrace nor the plaza view before parties serve alcohol. We've done the before party, plaza level, several times. We are always told that we can use either serving line, depending on which is closer to where we are seated. If you go up the ramp and are seated to the right, the upper serving line is closer, and if you're seated at tables to the left of the ramp, the lower seating line is closer. If we're seated in the left hand area, the CM always encourages us to use the terrace level serving line because of its proximity to our table, and we have done so a few times. We've used both serving lines for the before plaza party, depending on where we were sitting, and there was no alcohol at either.

It’s changing Feb 1. The terrace view will serve alcohol according to the website. The only one not including alcohol is the before party, Plaza view.

We too have been told we could use either station. I suspect that will change come Feb 1.

 

[jaysmom4285]

Ah, that makes sense now. I didn't know about the February 1 change. I'm sure you're right that there will be no more sharing of serving stations between the plaza and terrace seating.

For the Plaza Garden View pre-party, at 8:00 can I park my stroller/blanket in the viewing area (to reserve our spot), then go to get the desserts?

No. You’re escorted from the dessert party to the garden. Parking your stroller wouldn’t do any good. Someone would just move it if they wanted to stand wherever it was. You can take desserts with you if you want to get there early, but the better choice to me is booking the after party.

Question: When you make reservations for the dessert party will it show up in the MDE?

Yes, it should show up in the same way a dining reservation at a restaurant will show up in various "My Plans" parts of MDE.

An occasional tech snafu or other problem may make it not show up, but those are typically temporary experiences.

Thank you! It's where I have been looking and they aren't there so I will give it a day or 2 then follow up with Disney.

I just made a reservation for Tomorrowland Terrace for my daughter's birthday on 7/23/20. It's for 8:25 pm. What time should we arrive? I'm sooo excited. This is our first dessert party.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

A reminder that as of yesterday, the Tomorrowland Terrace and After Fireworks dessert parties now offer beer and wine. The Plaza Garden (Before) Party does not. New prices in effect all around.

And a reminder to me that I need to do some serious cleanup to page 1!
