Which firework dessert party?

[DisneyFanEmily]

I'm trying to decide which firework dessert party to do as a surprise between the Ferrytale Wishes Cruise, Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party (either the Plaza Garden viewing or the one where you stay seated) or Epcot's Illuminations Dessert Party, so four lol.

We have never been and read good and bad about the desserts, but still want to try it once, but having a great view of the fireworks is a big part.

For people that have been to one or more, how did you like it and which did you like?

And which one out of the four would you pick?

Thanks!

I've never done either and the one I have done is the star wars desert party.

Just based on how much time and effort it takes to get a good viewing spot, I find Epcot easy and MK to take some planning and time. I would go with MK for that reason alone. Let others chime in that have done both to tell you which has the better desert experience.

Star Wars Dessert party, but that wasn't one of the choices. I have done Tomorrowland in 2015, when there was only the one area, and Illuminations very early on in 2014. Of those two, I liked Illuminations better. The food was better. The staff and guests were nicer, and alcohol was included. However, I think the food is different now. I won't do the Wishes one again unless someone else pays, and maybe not even then. The food wasn't very good, and the guests were very rude. Staff was overworked too. The Star Wars one had the best food and included alcohol, and the guests and staff were awesome. Plus, SW has the food part in a building with AC and no rain. You can take drinks and food to snack on while you watch.

Wishes and SW Dessert party. Epcot has many good spots w/out paying extra. We do Wishes every trip. The crowds at MK can be a bit much!

Wishes at Tomorrow Land terrace was good. We weren't happy with the dessert party at Epcot.

Thanks everyone, SW isn’t an option because we aren’t going to Hollywood studios.

Thinking we will pick between the Wishes options, it was a good point that Epcot has more viewing options. Now I’m just trying to decide if I want to do one of the Tomorrowland Party’s or if I want to try the cruise. I think the only negative for the cruise is you are further away obviously, but it’s something different to do and you will still see the fireworks lol.

Thanks!

If you do MK I would do Plaza Garden Viewing, the Tomorrowland Terrace was nice but view for the Castle show wasn't great. I am planing on doing Illuminations this year for the 1st time.

We have done both the terrace and plaza viewing parties. We much prefer the view from the plaza. I don't like the side angle from the terrace.

Just keep in mind the cruise is also more expensive...my Mom requested to do the Wishes desert party...I originally booked the Plaza Garden Viewing, but Mom was worried about standing through the show at the end of the day and wanted a seat to see the fireworks, so I upgraded.
