So... based on past experiences, where should we be looking on the Disney website to find when it goes live to book?Things can always change and sometimes Disney may tinker with exact offerings, but the typical pattern with NYE dessert party offerings is they get released/posted off schedule and an annual waiting/watch game ensues. Often threads like this become watch threads and one day we’ll all wake up to a random “hey guys, I was just able to book 12/31!” post and it’ll be a rush to book.
Hopefully they’ll open up the NYE midnight party soon. Disney makes it so difficult to plan ahead!I'll now answer my own questions from above in case anyone else is wondering:
What I booked is called "Magic Kingdom 50th fireworks dessert parties: Disney Enchantment After Party" on Dec 31 at 6:50pm (which I'm guessing is after the 6:30 show).
I really hope this is Fantasy in the Sky, not Enchantment. The party I booked is listed as Enchantment, but based on the earlier press release, I think they said Enchantment won't be shown that week, but instead it will be a Special NYE fireworks show (I assume Fantasy in the Sky).
I booked it because it is the only dessert party available so far to book, however, it will turn out to be the one I want to keep as long as the show really is Fantasy in the Sky (or new NYE fireworks show). I will probably switch it if they only do the NYE fireworks at midnight though, but that dessert party isn't available to book right now.
That is Enchantment and not Fantasy. We have done Enchantment (with dessert party twice) enough and are planning to just skip it or walk by.I'll now answer my own questions from above in case anyone else is wondering:

It’s so frustrating. I don’t know if 1/2 will have extended hours for deluxe guests or not. I mean I can still switch to AOA ($1,250 cheaper). I’m not the only one askingHopefully they’ll open up the NYE midnight party soon. Disney makes it so difficult to plan ahead!
Maybe or maybe not. Disney had a press release last week that stated that the Minnie Holiday fireworks will run 12/23-12/29, then NYE fireworks will run on 12/30 & 12/31, and Enchantment will return on Jan 1. So that press release makes it sound like NYE fireworks may show at both 6:30 and 11:50.That is Enchantment and not Fantasy. We have done Enchantment (with dessert party twice) enough and are planning to just skip it or walk by.
Mines a split stay, so I’m waiting for my 2nd window to open Thursday.I'll now answer my own questions from above in case anyone else is wondering:

Can you hold one for 5 on 12/28? Just kidding. I’m not hopeful I’m going to get that or 12/31 (our MK days). My ADR window opens Sat.Mines a split stay, so I’m waiting for my 2nd window to open Thursday.
I’m really hoping to book a dessert party the 28th. But even though I can see other park restaurants through the 26th, fireworks only show (with no availability) through the 24th
Can you shed any light on if there are parties showing the 28th or 29th?

Is this a completely different show than Enchantment?Yes I can currently book Dec 28th or 29 for a dessert party. is available for me to book right now for the Minnie Christmas fireworks show
Yes. Dessert party is available on 12/28 for Minnie’s Christmas show. That date is very clear. It is the 30 and 31 that we aren’t sure what the show will beSo we are at MK on 12/28 (our check in day so I can’t see availability yet). So is there availability for Minnie’s Christmas time fireworks party? I thought it was Enchantment on non party days
Thank you!!!Yes I can currently book Dec 28th or 29 for a dessert party. is available for me to book right now for the Minnie Christmas fireworks show
