Questions about Wishes Dessert Party

[TivoQueen]

I have heard that they are extending the Wishes Dessert Party through January. With that said, if this is true I plan on booking this for one of the days we are at Disney in November. I do have some questions.

1. Do you book this thru Disney Dining at your 90 day out mark like other Disney ADR's?

2. If Wishes is scheduled to begin at 9:00 what time will they allow you into the party?

3. I have heard people mention that they also watch Spectromagic during the party? Is it a good spot to see the parade? I have 3 little kids and standing on the curb for an hour or so to get a parade spot is hard to do.

4. Do they offer any Sugar Free Desserts?

No. They registered us, told us where our table was located (it has you name on it already) which was up front, and then said to go watch spectromagic and come back at 9:30.

I was not happy with that because we missed 1/2 hour of feasting on desserts, which were not that much. There was plenty there just a lot of platters with the same things over and over. The view was great, BUT everyone stands up and goes to the rails to watch the fireworks, so it does not matter what table you get, everyone is in front of you anyway. It was a cool thing to do, but I am not so sure I would do it again.

4. Do they offer any Sugar Free Desserts?

Mostly fruit, I did not notice any SF stuff.
