September 16th, but I can't see paying that amount of money if they aren't going to substitute the desserts. We're not big on characters, we were going because want good location for the parade, good location for the fireworks, desserts, and to be in the castle, but it sounds like when we're going, the only real benefit is to be in the castle, and since we're doing a CRT breakfast later, we may cancel these reservations. We'll wait to see what the other reviews are.
I do wonder if, given the lack of crowds in September, the cost should be lower to reflect the limited value of the priority viewing area, but we've never been to a Disney hard ticket event, so we assumed it would be way too crowded to get a good view unless we devoted a good amount of the party to staking out a spot.
