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

[ktak08]

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?

I just checked May 22nd and there is a 9:20 still available, but for a party of 8. Maybe you can call to see about a smaller party? We have a 9:05 slot that night party of 4...hope you're able to get one!

I just booked online for June 28th!

Is the check in podium on the TomorrowLand side or the Plaza side of the Terrace? Trying to figure out where we should be before the start to make it easier to get the kids to the surprise without ruining it right away.

Tomorrow Land

Thank you! I can totally plan this surprise then.

Randomly checked before looking on these boards, and saw June was open. After talking with my girlfriend, we booked for Sunday 6/16!!! The last of our reservations has been set!

Can anyone provide the link to make ressies? I am on the site but it's not giving me the calendar option beyond April? Thank you!!! I won't be booking as our trip isn't until August, but I wanted to make sure I don't run into any problems when they finally open August. Thanks!!

When on that page, set your date on the calendar near the top, below the word Dining with the knife and fork.

Thank you for trying to help! It's much appreciated...however, it's still the same as before...it appears like it's taking me to the "old" version of the dining ressies (I'm in Canada) so not sure what's going on...

Yes, I know your frustration. Many Canadians are still only able to see the OLD Disney website. Disney is aware of the problem, but haven't fixed it yet (its been months now). I gave up and finally called to book the party. Good luck!

 

[Mickey1976]

Thank you! I made my other ressies 180 days out with no issues using the old site...it actually worked better for me than the new site. But this ressie isn't working for some reason and I have been able to "faux" make it in the past...I hope they get it fixed soon because I don't want to have to call to only be told it's not open yet when in fact it is!

I have an 9:00pm ADR for wishes. We have never done this before so I have a couple of questions:

1. what time is recommended that we arrive?

2. I also have an ADR that same evening for hoop de doo at 6:15pm(which we have never done before either). I'm wondering if this timing will work out ok or if I should look into changing the 6:15 adr to 4:00pm? We will be taking the boat to and from the park.

TIA

Recommended is opening, one hour and 15 minutes before Wishes. Personally, I would do HDDR at 4.

Yes, I have always gotten in line no later than 8:45pm.

I would also recommend that you switch to the 4pm HDDR show. Not only would this give you more time between the HDDR and the dessert party, it would also give your stomachs time to make room for those tasty desserts! You get A LOT of food at the HDDR, so you'll welcome having a couple extra hours between your meal and dessert party. Just my 2cents!

Same issue on UK site but if you manually input the dates into the box mm/dd/yyyy it might work for you. This is the only way I can do the search beyond April 30th. We are waiting for July so I am checking daily

Finally mad my reservations for Dessert Party for june 14th. Thats the last of my ressies done. Online Check in done. everything is paid off and no more booking to do. And I WILL NOT change another thing.

Now the countdown is all thats left.

I was talking to DH tonight and mentioned the Dessert party and he has never heard of it. When I read him the description he wanted me to check on dates. I was unable to get my first choice of June 12 but got June 15 on our last night. It should be fun I think. I did not want to spend the money but it will be a new experience for us and beats sitting on the sticky ground or with packed people to watch the fireworks. Our cost was $91 for 2 adults and 2 children.
