News Round Up 2017

I was very distraught when Fantasy in the Sky was replaced with Wishes. Even though I like Wishes, for me it doesn't live up to the original fireworks show. I had numerous visits to WDW after it opened with different family members so Fantasy in the Sky holds a special place in my heart.

I always try to remember that - when I see people talk about how Wishes is such a tradition (and not to say it isn't - I am sure it is a family tradition for a lot of people) - it's not like it has been there since park opening and Walt put the soundtrack together himself and everything

Wishes replaced something and created all new memories for a new generation and I think (hope) Happily Ever After will do the same

I wonder what percentage of people there knew it was the last showing (knowing prior to getting to the park).

We were at HS in Nov 2015 for the opening night of the Osborne Christmas lights, not knowing that it was the last season for the lights.

Omg can you imagine someone just being a casual visitor showing up for the day on a Thursday thinking it shouldn't be too crowded and getting slammed with that Wishes crowd? I'd die.

Yup, saw Wishes for the 2nd time this trip and will see HEA tonight. For DH and I, we're excited to see the "opening night" of a show and as a young couple, excited that this might be the show our eventual kids will grow up on

Ok momentarily but I was taking a closer look at Nomad Lounge and put it on my list of possible 'take it easy relax and have a drink' places. But a quick question. I know they have outdoor seating...are you able to request to sit outside?

So sorry I missed responding to this, but yes you usually seat yourself in the Nomad Lounge. And even though someone else responded I will add on and say that as far as the Nomad Lounge goes, it is a MUST DO for us any time we are in DAK now. Seating in the lounge is both inside and outside and we have always sat on the deck that looks towards the bridge that leads into Pandora. The lounge itself is circular on the inside and I think that it provides an excellent space for people to sit in small groups, relax, and be able to steal some time away from a busy theme park. Joe Rohde designed it with the thought of travelers and people that like to explore the world. It has questions hanging up around it that are supposed to help generate conversation. The outside deck is great, with nice big comfy sofas and chairs. The small plates selection in the Nomad Lounge has delicious choices on it - we used it as our lunch for the day on one trip. And - even though I do not drink - it has been reported on numerous occasions that the leather-bound drink menu is one of the largest and most original anywhere in WDW. I highly recommend the Nomad Lounge.

And don't even get me started on Tiffins. Hands down it is for me the best signature dining experience on property.

Am I right?

Can't we at least get Publix quality?!

An FYI for those interested, this cannot be booked like a normal dessert party. It's an "add on" for vacation packages and must be booked by calling Disney. If you used a travel agent, you need to go through them.

I tried to book it, but backed out since I'll probably cancel my current October reservation when AP rates come out.

Besides magic bands I am trying to figure out how this is anything special.

just the luggage tags and then they said an extra "treat" at (or when leaving, wasn't sure) the dessert party

A dessert part, which is normally ~$80

Wait you're telling me a rice krispy treat isn't worth that?

The Rice Crispy treat is dipped in chocolate!

Well, the regular dessert party would be $118 for two people and a special magic band is like $20, so you are up close to $160 already - so I wouldn't expect too much (maybe a little "to go" bag with a few treats)
