Dessert party starts at 8:45pm , they usually open the area at 8:30pm, check in starts around 7:30pm, as soon as there are CM at the check in podium, you can get your wristbands and then go or wait to get in.
I think getting in line at 8pm is fine

@chicagodisfan Thanks for the mini-report. I was planning to arrive at 8:15 with my son for JTA sign ups. Sounds like it will work! Thanks for the info on the different line procedures, as well!

So annoyed. Booked all our FP for our end of June trip. We have 4 day tickets plus waterparks. Had no idea that the SW fireworks would only be on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. Guess which days we aren't doing the parks? Yep, Sunday and Wednesday and the Friday park day is July 1. Ugh. Fingers crossed they continue the Fireworks into July. Oh...and I thought about switching our Friday park day to Wednesday, but I can't look at FP+ availability on MDE bc all our FP+ entitlements are "used".

You can still check FP, just hit the "+" to book new, pick you date/party/park and ignore the alerts that you'll be replacing existing FP. You won't lose your originals until you finalize something in the new park.

What date ? The online reservations are not working for me right now.

 

[maryj11]

I just got June 24 as well! I will see you there! You as well, Tjknitz!

Reservations are not working it just keeps saying we were unavailable to check for reservations at this time.

 

[gerilyne]

I just got one for June 19th for our party of 7. When I first looked it gave me the usual error but on a second try it worked!

 

[JeninTexas]

Congratulations to everyone getting their reservations this morning. I tried for 6/26, but it said no tables available. I was able to get one for 6/29, so now to change up all my FPs and ADRS again to accommodate this change. Still, I'm really happy to get this!

I've got to admit that I was a little disappointed to see the dessert party bookings released. I was hoping that if they weren't, that was a sign that a big announcement was coming tomorrow that beginning 6/5, the new fireworks would start. I'm still not giving up hope! A girl can dream, right?

So, I went ahead and booked the party on 6/8, but I don't know if I want to spend the money for the party when I can see the fireworks from other locations. It's the projections with the new fireworks that I really felt I needed to have that reserved spot for.

Also, my 9 year old has peanut and tree nut allergies, so he can't partake in the goodies like the rest of us. @yulilin3, I remember you posting about those little cake jars from the Merry & Bright dessert party -- did they have them at the SW dessert party, too? Did they have any cross-contamination warnings on them that you remember? Do you think I should also email special diets (the email they provide on the dining confirmation if you checked that you have allergies in your party) just to make sure they have something?

A lot of folks are getting that message. Unlike yesterday when they weren't available*; today they are available, but the search engines don't appears to functioning to the requested capacity. (There are several reported attempts and success in booking today vs yesterday.)

EDIT *For June 5th and beyond. The dates showed in the calendar, but only up to June 3rd was available to book at that time.

They have the same little box for people with allergies. When I spoke to the chef sjhe said that they are baked in a separate kitchen backstage. You can put a note on the ressie if you want but you still have to ask for the box once you are there.
Here's the pics from the Osborne party but it's the same offerings for the SW one

My friend Cheryl and a couple of other people just started this podcast. I know that your son is not vegan but it might help when looking for options around the parks https://vegandisneyworld.com/podcast/
I think I remember the chef saying that the only thing with nuts was the larrabar bar, that comes in a sealed wrapper, so no cross contamination

Thanks for the photos. And to your recollection, they were also nut-fee (not just gluten-free)? I know those Enjoy Life chocolate bars are nut-free which is awesome.

I've got to figure out if it's worth spending the money... Decisions, decisions. The Sunday, Wednesday, Friday only fireworks really wreaks havoc on my schedule... I'm being cautious and not changing anything until after tomorrow when they announce stuff about AK and whatever else they decide to announce.

the only thing I think she mentioned had nuts was the larrabar bar

Can someone compare the dessert party at HS vs MK? We went to the one at MK a few years back and weren't impressed (limited view blocked by trees, couldn't see castle projection show, assigned seating, etc) Seeing the popularity for the Star Wars one, I'm intrigued! Thanks

 

[cvjpirate]

I have not done the MK one, will give it a shot this year. But when I did the one last year for SWW it was great food, good spot and did not feel crowded at all. Had a great time. If they had the party during my HS (omg it is hard calling it that want to call it MGM so bad) I would book it again.

here's my review with video and pictures Official Everything SW at DHS Thread,Fireworks/Fantasmic! Dessert Party & Enhancements Coming Soon
I did the MK dessert party back when it first opened years ago. The only thing better is that MK has chairs, other than that I prefer the offerings for the SW one.
The dessert party area for SW has moved up so there's basically no obstruction in terms of trees. You pretty much get an unobstructed view.

 

[WhollyHeretic]

There seems to be problems with the whole reservation system today. I had to refresh a bunch of times to book the dessert party and since then I've been trying to add a dinner reservation but it keeps telling me there is a problem searching for reservations.

Does this dessert party not have chairs?

It looks like the entire Disney site is down now. I can't get anything to come up. No dining, No FP, can't even look at my resort reservation.
