New World Of Color dessert party check in?

[SOCALMouseMommy]

We did this on the first night that they had pre-assigned tables. We had a low top and could see pretty well. Kids on shoulders blocked it a little. Food box was great but hard to see what what you were eating because it's dark. We just brought our boxes back to our hotel and ate it later. The whole party seemed kind of rushed to us, we wish we could've had more time to sit and enjoy our food/drinks. They had beer, wine, and a cocktail available. You were offered 2 drinks per adult. They gave us a nice bag to carry our food boxes back. Cast members working this event were super nice.

I’m curious if you did the first or second party? I ask because when I did it we did the first party and it felt like we had lots of time to relax and enjoy our plates. Just wondering if that’s changed.

agree, I'm wondering what time the poster arrived? We did the first party and got there right at check in time, we had around an hour before the show started which I thought was plenty of time to enjoy our snacks and drinks.

I'm thinking it was because this was the very first night that they used the new system. They told us all to meet up at our check in location at 9:30 to walk over to the area with the tables. It took a long time to get everyone seated as they walked each party to their assigned table. It was about 10:00 when everyone was seated and the show started at 10:15.

OK, this is because you did the second show. I think the dessert party is a better value and experience if you do the first show because you have a lot longer time to sit and relax before the show. There isn’t as much time for that if you do the second show because there simply isn’t as enough time between when the first show ends and they clear the party area and clean the tables, and then have to seat the second party guests and when the second show begins.

Thank you for the feedback. I was also thinking it's because of the compressed time. The same delays as described would likely still leave 30 minutes before the first show.

Another question, are kids still getting the light up cups?

Same! We’ve practically been done eating the bulk of our dessert by the time the show starts and then mostly just relaxing and drinking a drink during the show

We have done both first and second parties and I agree with the previous poster that the first show is better if you want to chill at your table.
