[mamaof2]

Does it make a difference what day of the week I should reserve for the MK. wishes desert party?
Any info would be great.
thanks in advance....

We called a few weeks ago and were told it is all sold out for the rest of the time it is being offered. They said it sold out within a week or so of opening for reservations. I'm really disappointed as I was looking forward to this. We haven't seen Wishes because I hate fighting the crowds. We did put our name on a waiting list though.

It is sold out and it's only offered till the 29th of Aug. However ppl have 24hrs b 4 time to cancel . So if you really want to go keep checking & good luck.

It is planned to end later this month, but Disney has to realize the value of an item that sells out just after it is announced.

They may have a concern that the lower visitation outside the summer months and the free dining plan offers will detract from the demand, but they're doing nothing with that area (for money) during those times. It will be interesting to see if the this is offered later in the year - especially during heavier seasons.

They have to note the money making ways...
I wonder if they will offer it during Christmas???
I have to keep an eye out for it. Will post if I see anything...
Have a great day!

I would keep calling until your trip, someone may cancel. I went on the day of my bday instead of ordering a cake and it was so worth it. I put pics up on the official MK dessert party thread.

Oh I hope so, that would be wonderful. We are going on Aug. 17th for DDs 10th Birthday, and we are going to be at POFQ in Dec. for other DDs 13th Birthday, and would so love to celebrate her birthday that way too.

That sounds like such a great idea. Also the fact that your girls would really appreciate it. Again, if I hear anything I will post...
We will be at POR 8/16-22. My 1st visit to POR.
We are very excited. I usually celebrate my girls B/days at Disney---minus the party at home. Always a good idea for me. I am glad that someone else does the same.

 

[dvc at last !]

I hope the date is extended.
The pics I saw look great and
it would be a nice place to see Wishes.
We will be at WDW in October.

We wanted to do this because we have enjoyed the Fantasmic dessert buffet in Disneyland (that little place in Anaheim) several times. They hosted it in the upstairs Gallery in New Orleans Square out on the balcony. It was overlooking Tom Sawyer's Island and a great view of Fantasmic. It was really hard to get a good view of Fantasmic there since space was so limited in that area of the park. The balcony was small so this event accepted a lot fewer guests than the WDW dessert buffet. It felt really special!

The Gallery was originally built as an apartment for Walt Disney and his family but it was not finished before he died and no one ever occupied it. Over the years they used it for various things...offices, storage and then an art gallery displaying and selling terrific Disney art. You could tell though how it was supposed to be an apartment. It was lovely. Now they have made it into a "dream suite". They gave away night stays during the Year of a Million Dreams. I can only imagine...

We only saw the DL Wishes from in front of the castle twice (we had to do it that second time for my mom's 65th birthday), the rest of the time we would catch a glimpse of it from the Grand Californian club lounge or even once from the top of Grizzly Rapids in DCA. But from those locations you can really only see the fireworks and it just isn't the same without seeing the castle. DH and I just aren't into the "staking out your spot hours in advance" thing.

Sorry to ramble about DL, but I wanted to spread some of those great memories to our trip to WDW. I will definitely keep calling and keep my fingers crossed. We are very flexible on this trip so we could really go any one of our 10 nights.

Good luck to all who are trying to get in!

Sounds like you had such a great time at DL. I hope it's just or if possible more enjoyable at DW... Have a great trip.

Sorry to take a trip on the off topic side, but don't they have the F! dessert party any longer? We're planning our 1st DL trip for next year, & I was planning to book that. I've been reading the DL section on here, but I haven't happened upon that yet. Getting back on topic, I'm hoping to book the Wishes dessert party too, if we can ever get in.

 

[geenerbell]

My prediction is they will restart at the first of the year. Due to MVMCP and extra manpower needed for the crowds at Christmas.

 

[kckmom]

I, like many others,have been so sad we cannot get this. We have 3 birthdays this summer and 1st Holy Communion and DH 40th bday, would love to celebrate all our wonderful events with a night of sweets and fireworks! I hope we find a cancellation before our trip.

Just FYI, I have been calling weekly since the first week of Wishes dessert party, and I was told last time that people have 48 hrs cancellation policy. Might make a difference for when you call. Good luck!
