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

[LynnF0513]

To me, that's way overkill for our style. We don't even check in 1 hour/15 minutes early. I'd rather be late, but I know that's an unusual perspective. I'm good with 10-15 minutes of desserts/chilling/bathroom break, then off to the garden to relax/wait.

Agreed! I was thinking 1.5 hours?! I’m hoping my meal doesn’t take that long lol. I was thinking 7:15-7:20 ish for us.

Trying not to read too much into the time changes, but I do feel like an extended period of time is a way to possibly justify a price increase?

 

[HappyGrape]

I have been checking for days too. I hope today is the day!

It is Good Friday, which would be a GOOD day to open up the reservation for this party with yummy GOODies. However, when I just tried for reservations on June 9 the results were NOT GOOD. No Easter miracle today. (Sorry, that sounded sacrilegious)

 

[garada3]

I got nothin’

 

[LynnF0513]

I was hoping as well but NADA

Still nothing for 6/7. Hoping they're slowly loading them

I’m impatiently waiting to book for mid October. 5/28 is 60 days if my math is right. If so, I’ve got a long wait ahead of me! The dessert buffet is a must have for me. Fighting the crowds and camping out for a good spot isn’t happening.

 

[Realgrumpy]

Nothing for August...checked on line and called.

 

[DWeav]

Confirmed that 5/28 is now available to book, but nothing after that

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Confirmed that Disney is just trolling us.

 

[Erik the Red]

My 180 days is coming up on Tuesday.

Was hoping I could book this, as it is a MUST for me.

Guess that's not happening anytime soon.

I wonder how many heart attacks are caused from Disney planning? lol

Nothing for my date of 6/4 either. However I did notice that the reservation time is now showing 7:45 where as yesterday it was 8 pm. Going to take it as a sign that maybe booking availability is getting closer. Gotta tell myself this so I don’t go crazy waiting.

I think I've past the crazy point! I had a dream where I made a reservation after stalking and then when we got there, we didn't have a reservation. Come on Disney!

I just got the garden seating booked for may 28th. Glad that’s finally done

 

[ITALIANNYC]

Still nothing

We will see you there!

It's odd, I called DVC member services yesterday for something else and she could see the 28th date but couldn't book it for me. And the date was showing 8:00 when she tried yesterday but today when I booked it was 7:45. I assume they are loading dates and will keep my fingers crossed for everyone else.

Will be interesting to see if 5/29 is available tomorrow - I'm wondering if they're releasing them one day at a time?

I was wondering the same thing. I wouldn't actually mind this because it would save me from checking incessantly throughout the day but with the way things sometimes work with Disney, they are liable to all of a sudden release a bunch of dates and then I'd likely miss out as I'm innocently waiting for my date to arrive. I wish there was a way to confirm what type of strategy they are employing here with the release of the dates but I can't see that happening.
