New World Of Color dessert party check in?

[Pluto468]

Has anyone gone to WOC dessert party since they changed the check in process? Do they let you pick a table once you get to the party or is it pre-assigned when you check in on the app?

Where did you hear the check in process changed? My understanding is that it is still the same, and at the same location. I imagine the ability to select your table number may change from CM to CM.
I am not sure when you are going, but we are doing this on Sunday, and I can report back.
Edited to add...I forgot reading about a mobile check in option a few weeks ago. I will definitely provide feedback if that is the case. Sounds preferable than having to wait for the wristband and then again for the seats.

@MonocularVision said that they would report back when they return.

Just came down here to check in for WOC second show Dessert party and the entire process is totally changed. You check in in your phone now. You can choose a table (high or low top) preference and that’s about it. You get a notification when you can line up and you get either the “east” or the “west” line and won’t know which line until you get the notification.

Will write more up after we actually go through it.

I am in the process of writing my trip report.
Went to WOC dessert party on May 27. We checked in at 645PM and got a table dead center. Great views. Nothing has changed.

Sorry! Meant to report back.

We went two nights ago on the 7th and it has totally changed!

You now check-in via the app. You can choose a table preference (high, low, or none). You will then get a text message on when to report back for the line. You will either get “East” or “West”. Both lines run parallel in the along the backside of GRR, where the check-in used to be (this was in a very slightly different location from where it was in January). We were then lead in the full line to the main area where we were checked in and given the wristbands and lead to our table. At no point was there any opportunity to choose a table. We were assigned way to the left from where we would normally choose but TBH; I didn’t care all that much. No idea how the assignment goes (order of check-in? party size?).

In my opinion: this is a better system. Far less stressful about getting a “good” spot (they are all good) and you spend less time waiting.

Note: I showed up a couple hours early and was confused by the lack of anyone. I talked with them at the check-in area (they don’t have tablets or anything) and they told me about the new process. They even read from a piece of paper they had since they said it was brand new to them. Very friendly folks.

Thanks for the update! What time is check in available via the app? And then what time did you line up once you knew the new system?

I'm excited to see the new show, especially the muppets

How did you like the new food compared to the old desserts?

The app will tell you when you can check in. I think for the second showing it was 7-something. I saw the check in option and ignored it thinking it was a mistake

I think I generally preferred the old food / presentation but I did like the box and the pin. Still worth it for us.
