SO GOOD. And they had several kinds of beer and pretty sure wine. The entire event was awesome and worth every penny.

i would love it - couldn't talk the hubby and son into it, not that I have a choice at the moment.

The dates show blue on the calendar through the first week of Jan now. Not available of course. But they were only blue through July before. Is there any chance they are planking to open THAT far?

I only see blue dates through Sept 5th...

 

[ktb2002]

I've also only got blue through Sept 5

Hmm, I just looked again and on the mobile website they are blue through Jan 8, 2017.

Oh wait. Sorry that is for firework hours not the party. I forgot I changed pages. Sorry!

Although it's still exciting IF they actually announce soon Fireworks for sure through the end of the year!!

Yeah... I did a double-take -- the fireworks are now scheduled through early Jan??? That's awesome! Are they scheduled every night? I'll go look...

EDIT: The dates are blue, but when you click on one it says "no hours available" or something like that.

For the dessert party, we are a party of 4. 2 adults, 1 four year old, and a baby. I know baby is free but do I book for 4 like a restaurant? Or for 3?

Pretty sure you need to book for 4, like an ADR. It will ask you the members of your party, so you shouldn't be charged for the baby. But there are a limited # of spots for this event and I would think they'd want actual headcount?

Saw this on FB, laughed so hard I snorted...

Inside The Magic captioned "Waiting for Disney to drop Stars Wars news and leaks"

My mind read "Waiting for August Dessert Parties to become available"

Yeah that's what I was trying to say. IF they officially announce them soonish it will be nice. Even the fireworks calendar has been grayed out past July so to me making them all blue is an improvement.

that swamp milk sounds nasty btw. has anyone tried it?

It is nasty! We got one to try and after we both tasted it, it went to the trash. I didn't see anyone else drinking them either.

We just got back from the dessert party, and it was fantastic. Moving it inside I think was a great idea, although they need to expand the space just a little. Tonight it seemed that the savory items were going faster than the dessert items. It was definitely worth the cost and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Bonus of course was the amazing Star Works fireworks at the end. We also met some great Disney fans which made for wonderful conversation.

Thought I would ask on this thread
In the updated hours for August Late and early September they have the fireworks starting at 8:45 but fantasmic starts at 830. Not even asking about getting out of F! in times to see them - can they really have the fireworks before fantasmic is even over?

 

[NoMoneyThanks2Disney]

Just a wonderment, is it possible that the times are loaded through 9/5 because they're going to have it every day for summer and through the Labor Day weekend, and then switch to just on the weekends after that? I swear I'm on like contigency plan G at this point, trying to make sure I put everything in a position that I can change days around if I need to.

Hi, I have a question about the alcoholic drinks. DH and I just looked at the new menu and drink pics and he is not a fan of the mixed drink options (neither am I TBH but I'd try). The old drinks looked great, that's how I convinced him to go since he's not a dessert guy. Do they make made to order drinks too ( like a rum and coke etc.) or are we just limited to the four specialty drinks they provide?

 

[frisbeego]

Thanks! So you still had 40 minutes to ride before official open after that? Do you remember what time slot you got? I probably have to do this on my Epcot day and need to be out by 12.

Yes, we still had time to ride during morning EMH. I think we rode TSM 4 times during EMH, then once more at 9 am.

We had our pick of the time slots.

I can't stress this enough. Get there early and go straight to JTA sign-ups. The line swells quickly. If you got in line 2 minutes after us, you probably waited a total of 30-40 minutes.

No one really knows for sure what Disney will do with the fireworks but they have been really bad/slow about up dating the park hours and entertainment times. They didn't post June until mid to late May and didn't post July until mid to late June.

I don't like the new drink menu either. We went in June and I really liked all the drinks they had then. Going again at the end of July and I am hoping they change these before we go. They don't usually do other drinks but I have seen someone report that their DH grabbed a coke and had the bartender make him a rum and coke so I do think it might be possible.

I guess they can. I don't see SWaGS interfering with F! in any way . F! is loud enough to drown the fireworks and even if you hear some fireworks it shouldn't detract from the show. I guess we will need reports from people doing F! during SWaGS to be sure

Anything is possible.

There have been dissers reporting that they asked just for the alcohol. Hoping someone who has done that gives you a better answer

Good morning. Checked on the HUB and still no change. No hours for dessert party for August and no updates on the fireworks hours beyond Sept. 5th

 

[glvsav37]

yea, I called on the way into work this am for August. My heart stopped for a second b/c the CM said they opened booking yesterday and they were sold out for my date (8/4). I called right back and got another CM who said that the booking had not started yet.

Thankfully, thanks to this thread, I figured the 1st CM had no idea what she was talking about and gave it a second shot.
