Wishes Dessert Party ADR Watch Thread # 2 - September 2013 OPEN!!!

[gilesmt]

Just wanted to let anyone looking for may that I went on this morning, I got may 9 for 5 at 9. But they had mat 11 and may 16 openings for 4 and 6 people. So excited to not have to deal with the crowds and to be able to sit until they start. Hope someone can snag these, I tried for two weeks and nothing all 12 days we were there, now three days opened up at once.

Ok so new to the dessert party.. Do you book by calling in 90 or 60 days ahead & how much is it with tax? You pay at time of books correct? Sorry if this has been asked a million times.

Hi from a fellow Charlestonian!

Unfortunately, the booking window isn't set in stone. Normally, the dates open about 30 days in advance, but for June, they just opened reservations this past Friday which is almost 60 days. The best thing to do is watch this thread. Someone on here always knows even before the phone CMs do. Usually booking online can be faster for that reason. You do pay at the time of booking, and can cancel up to 24 hours prior for a full refund. Prices vary based on the time of year, so maybe someone who went last fall would have a better idea of pricing for you since you're going in the fall. Oh, and don't ever be sorry to ask a question. We're happy to help!

I noticed on this link that it says reservations can be made up to ninety days prior. This is incorrect or changed from when they first wrote the link?

I would say that is incorrect most of the time. The timing on reservations, as seen with prior posts on this thread, are horrendous, a real Disney fiasco. When I made ours, I called Disney Dining in March for our April trip. The CM said that were not taking reservations yet. I came to this thread, saw that April reservations were being done. I went tothe online booking and booked for last Friday.

For mid June my price was 29.97 per adult and 15.97 per child

What are the chances of us getting a reservation for May 20 or 22? We really wanted to do this on our Disneymoon, but I didn't think it booked up quickly, so I haven't booked it yet. Are there cancelations often?

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Ok, so I see the price difference that indicates Peak and Non Peak pricing, so what dates are Peak Pricing?

There's a table for three on the 22nd right now- three is my default setting for my family, though I assume that you want two, as you mention a Disneymoon. So you never know, you might find something if you keep checking in!

Some one stated that there is an opening for 3, what you do is book on line, for two with an infant, that way you are not charged extra, then call and say the infant will not be with you, that is what I have to do with 5 of us, book for the six and then tell them the infant won't be coming, never been questioned about it. If you call them they will say they don't have a table for two, so I book on line.

Thank you!!! I checked for 3 because I remember Kevin on the podcast saying that they play with numbers like that and saw an opening, but I didn't want to pay for a third. The infant idea is fantastic! Thank you! (I tried calling, but I was on hold for half an hour and gave up). Thank you!

ETA: We're booked for the 22nd! Thanks! It's funny how our future daughter is joining us a few years before she is born

Soooo, I kept wondering why the price for my party of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) was so high compared to everyone else's originally I just chalked it up to summer raised prices, which I'm used to. However...$149.05 for 2 adults and 3 kids still seemed high. So I was looking at My Disney Experience reservations page and noticed it had my kids listed as adults!! So I paid the full $27.99 for all of us!! Guess you can't switch that on the website though, so I'm going to have to call and get my partial refund.

So moral of the story...if you are booking online (especially for a prepaid event), check the ages of all your guests on your My Disney Experience!

I just booked a night for our June trip. Thanks to everyone's help I was able to make a reservation!!! This thread is a great idea!

 

[Rivergirl2005]

Does a 9:05 ressie give you a good seating view?

 

[Aaeolien]

Now the wait for July begins.

You are so having boys.

Neither. The key words are "UP TO". That means that it *could* be released 90 days in advance. BUT, it *could* also be released one week prior. It's a fine print thing.

I'd start checking daily 90 days out, but when it opens, is anybody's guess!
