it all looks like fun, but like you said, our schedule is already packed. DH wants to do the WISHES dessert party, but i simply don't have a good night we can do it! We are going to be in the MK on 2 nights of our trip- one night for MVMCP (do they even do them on those nights- i think not?)-
Yes!!! I called today and they are running it during the party! we are going 12/19, and I am so excited. It's really awesome, and super delish! The price has continued to go up, but for guaranteed good fireworks viewing... totally worth it! i am thinking about moving our CRT ressie up though to create a bit more space between the two...
thank you for the heads up! We did this past December and had the best seats in the house- with 14 of us, they gave us 3 tables at the very front!
What is the wishes dessert party? Where do you see the fireworks from and how much $ is it?

Our experience was- we arrived, waited in a line and there were let in- all tables were pre-assigned, so it had your last name on the table. it is held in the tomorrowland noodle station. you must have it booked in advance, it was sold out and walk ups not allowed and a LOT of people kept walking by while we were in line asking what it was and were interested and disappointed to know they couldn't just walk up. 
We were seated and immediately allowed to head to the buffet. There were three large serving bars with fruit, tarts, mousse, cheesecake, brownies, cookies, choc covered strawberries and more dessert delights. I was disappointed in the refills- i went back for the things I liked and they were always out, it seemed they didn't restock as much once the fireworks got close to starting. The beverage area was separate with tea, juice, coffee, milk, water i think. The seating area is covered and if you are seated at a table in the back, your view is not great, as the ceiling blocks your view. So most people moved their chairs up a bit. however, CMs would NOT let you move your chair up to the railing area or even stand up there, as you would block others view. I appreciated that, since being in the front, it would have been people blocking our view. There was one lady that did manage to stand off to the side up front - you can see her in the pic. You can also see the edge of the ceiling in one of the pics and that was with us sitting in the very very front. We were able to sit in our chairs and just watch from there fine with our location. It was super cold and windy that night too, even the ceiling didn't help block the wind and cold. so be prepared! We could not really see spectro from that location, but the fireworks were great! here are some of our pics:[/FONT]
I am almost a complete newbie here (lurked for a little while), but we are booked at AKL Dec. 2nd-9th. The DH and I didn't take a honeymoon, so now it's turned into a honeymoon/2nd anniversary trip. We've got ADRs at Boma, Biergarten, Akershus, Coral Reef, Rose & Crown, Sci-Fi, and Raglan Road (not in that order, though). I'm going to keep trying for Le Cellier...I'd trade just about any ADR for that one. For all intents and purposes, this is our first trip to WDW. Sooooo excited!
woo hoo- congrats! sounds like some great ADRs!
Has anyone gone to MVMCP? I'm trying to figure out if it's something I should do with the kids, but I think they're too young yet to really 'get' it (well, not my son, but DD is way too young to even remember the trip
)
Is there a place I can find out more about it? Like, what time the holiday parade is? and what time they do holiday wishes? If they didn't happen too too late then it might be worth it, but if it happens late then my son will be too crabby (haha, 'crabby' is an understatement
) to enjoy it.
Thanks!
We've done MVMCP twice now- including just this past December. We had a 2yo, 3yo and 5yo with our party of 14 and it was fine. We took it easy earlier in the day so that the kids were well-rested for a late night. We had strollers too. We like MVMCP due to the extra hours we get in the MK- we don't necessarily care about all the ancillary shows. although we do love the parade and holiday WISHES- those are typically the only two shows we watch. We always skip the first parade and ride rides instead and the lines are non-exsistant as most watch the first parade. We rode barnstormer 3x in a row, tea cups, all of fantasyland during that first parade with no waits. Then we catch the parade, usually from frontierland area, due to less crowds, but want to try for main street this year for the snow falling. holiday wishes is incredible too! We love the cookies, apples, cocoa and juice. Great little treat. Just the holiday spirit and character in holiday gear is nice too. Again- since December hours are shorter for the parks, especially with MVMCP going on, we like to do it for the extra time!
