Me too. The waiting is driving me nuts.

This was s big birthday for me so we splurged and stayed at the Polynesian. I could see the fireworks and hear the piped in music from the beach every night but so I started to second guess paying for the dessert party. All I can say is omg party viewing so worth it.
Have fun congratulations on the wedding. Might go back in September so I’m kinda watching for dates to be released too. We got a cold week in March so looking forward to September humidity....never thought I’d say that.

Yes! We stayed at the Poly when we got engaged and we are staying there for our Disneymoon trip as well. We always liked walking out to the beach or on the boat ramp to watch. I'm glad even with that experience that you were still happy you did the Garden viewing. I'm def going to sign up for it, just waiting for the ressies to open!

I know what you mean about the weather. Every Summer when I'm dying of heat stroke I wish for Winter, and every Winter I wish for Summer...there's no pleasing me LOL

The agony…Disney why? I guess we all need to keep dreaming so our dreams can come true!

Good morning, everyone! I really thought today would be the day. *sigh*

I think it's just a psychological ploy by Disney at this point.

I'm honestly just watching so I can be prepared for when New Year's Eve tickets go on sale ....which may be a long time from now if this pattern continues.

It has been a very long time since those dates went blue!! I thought maybe the wait was due to the blog announcing something today? but dont see anything new there either

 

[LynnF0513]

Stitch ate my page soooo soon, maybe?!

 

[Paul Rodgers]

Well the dates are now blue but they aren't showing any availability. On the bright side, I don't have the money to book yet and I'd like to book as soon as it comes out to sake of availability, so I'm not too too stressed about it. But that's just me being selfish.

 

[ITALIANNYC]

Disney should have a dessert party package where you can save some money if you buy them all

Ya hear that Disney.

This waiting is so frustrating!

 

[areno79]

I caved this afternoon and called Disney Dining. The CM assured me it's not available to book (I called on the off chance it was a glitch), but that it should be open soon since the dates are showing up as blue on the website.

 

[danielle782001]

Perfect! Since it’s for our honeymoon I just don’t want to be disappointed that I didn’t spend the extra to get the Terrace. Sounds like everyone prefers the Garden for the view.

Also, I read that the Terrace is first come first serve and since we have CRT at 5:30 I’m not sure we would be there right at 7 to get prime space at the rail.

Yes...Sadly, the terrace is first come first serve. It wasn't always that way. It used to based on when you booked and the size of your party. They changed that recently. Now the best tables are grabbed up by those that line up early. Not worth it to us anymore. Garden view is nicer anyway. We are all able to stand or sit on the ground (thank goodness).

Thanks for the additional info! We will definitely be doing the Garden. I can't see spending the extra for a worse view since I know people will be lined up for good seating and I can't see us being in that line given our ADR's. I think we will be really happy with the Garden!

Like the gold rose Mickey ears?

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Well, since Disney is proving me a fool with this blue date nonsense... I'm going to... well... well...just sit here and complain.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Like the new millennial pink ears coming out "soon?" LOL

I found it 'strange' how those Rose Gold Minnie Ears were in ABUNDANT supply during the Princess Half Marathon weekend last month.

Nice move Disney, nice move.

Was just looking at the reservations and was disappointed to see there were none available, at least now I know I'm not crazy here. lol
