I booked two nights, 2/17 and 2/20. So excited! I tried booking online at 6 but I couldn't get it to work so I called in right at 7.

Congratulations everyone! Thanks for the heads up. I booked opening night, but not sure if we'll keep it.

I booked it online. Not sure if I will keep it though. Still trying to wrap my head around the $354 price tag. Ugh. I wish they would offer a junior price for kids that are over 10 but under 15 or something. Seems so strange to offer an adult price that includes alcohol yet my 12 and 13 year old, who obviously aren't drinking, get charged the same price. I noticed it says no seating, does this mean standing room only? Does anyone know where the party will be held and what the view of the fireworks would be from there? Thanks.

My son is 11 and it pains the pocket to pay adult price.

It's in my MDE as "Hollywood Studios Special Activities". Will that get updated later? I don't have a confirmation email yet, but she did give me the number and it linked automatically.

Mine shows up in MDE as dining. But I did not get a confirmation email yet. I booked on the phone.

We booked the dessert party for Feb 8th. I booked online without a problem and it immediately showed up in MDE. So excited!

Oddly enough (?) it's just fine on the browser version of MDE. Both iPhone and iPad apps show the generic classification. I guess I'll be printing out pages just in case!

Ok, so I booked it for both our upcoming trips, January 14th, for just myself and DS3, and then march 12th, for all 5 of us . Not sure if I am keeping either/or...

Question: Do you think it is humanly possible to do Fantasmic and arrive late? I originally had Fantasmic planned for Jan 14th, DS3 has never seen it before. BUT, 108 is easier to swallow than 315 if I cancel 1 dessert party. Could we sit by the exit (either via dinner pkg or FP) and leave at the ferry boat? I'm grasping, I know...
Decisions....

you can do that, you'll probably arrive at the dessert party location around 7:45 ish so that's 30 minutes of dessert party time...it's a personal choice.

I have created the roll call thread. If new stuff is added, then I can add it to the thread/spreadsheet. Hopefully, this method will work. I am not sure how often I will get to update the roll call this weekend, because we will be out of town. I can definitely get it updated next week thoughl

Having no luck with online booking from my phone. I'm on the train and can't call at the moment. Is someone who booked online able to check and see if there is any availability showing for March 4-7 for a party of four? Thanks!

I just booked 1/10 for 2 on the mobile browser. Got in just fine. I then immediately went to book that same night for my aunt and cousin - she is 19 and can't drink, nor would she eat much, so they may sit it out and I figured easier to just book as two reservations and cancel only theirs instead of calling to modify.

Well, then it went down. URL error

while we wait for Disney to get their act together here's some more info I found, I'm sure that the DHS closing hours will change very soon, unless they close the attractions and people just wait for fireworks like they do with Fantasmic!. It would be better as it would not require GMR or TSMM to close early.

January 5 – March 6- 7:00pm – 8:15pm, fireworks are at 8pm.

March 7 – March 12- 7:30pm – 8:45pm, fireworks are at 8:30pm

March 13 – March 19- 8:30pm – 9:45pm, fireworks are at 9:30pm
so the entire dessert experience will be an hour and 15 minutes
it is going to be a nightly thing

I recently read that they filed permits to shoot fireworks from an off site area for HS. Hopefully that is where they can do these fireworks from and they will no longer need to close off the areas around TSMM

For those having trouble booking, it took me SEVERAL tries. Just kept fighting thru, and it finally took it.

On another note: I just watched a video Josh (Easywdw) posted of Chewie meet. I have to be honest, the inner 6 year old in me (my age when Star Wars came out) may take over and dive into that wookie leaving my kids behind! I cannot get over the wookie sounds, so excited to meet him!

I had a Vader shirt on when I went in and he pointed at it and shook his head and made a dissapointed growl...I was all like "no, I'm a Rebel Spy, this is my disguise to get some info" he agreed and growled happily...it's very cool

Grrr. Disney site isn't working for me and I have to spend the whole day working the "holiday boutique" at my son's school!! Oh well, I'll just hope it doesn't sell out that quickly. I'm hoping for 2/14 so maybe most won't think it's a romantic Valentines thing to do!

Someone mentioned the SW Lego Advent Calendar - Does anyone know what todays build is? We can't figure it out?!?! (It looks like a little black and grey tank with a grabber arm on it). We're stumped.

Just checked and yes, it is showing availability for 4 for all of those nights.
