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

[luvmy3]

Easy WDW has one of the best pictured reviews I've seen when you want to get an idea of tables.

After seeing those pictures I am so glad I switched my reservation to a night that we didnt have a dinner ADR. I think those chocolate peanutbutter tarts can count as my entree

We made an early ADR at Crystal Palace for that night so we would have room for dessert later

We did an early one for Chef Mickey's for the same reason!

Yes, a happy birthday for sure! I see you have been many times- do you recall if there is a photopass photographer available at the party? Thanks so much!

Not that I remember seeing. We've been pretty close to the railing every time (thanks to this thread, I'm sure!) and I don't remember seeing PP photographers there. Anyone else??

Re: people standing in front of the tables by the railing as others have been discussing... yes, they do! We sit at the table to eat, and then most people seem to approach the railing during the castle show and wishes. We've gone back to the table to eat some more between the two as well. I do remember one time when some plates were cleared before we were done, but we just went back for some more.

It's really been a great experience every time -- looking forward to it again in Sept!!

There was a PP photographer when my then-fiancé and I were there in Nov 2010, but I haven't been since, so they may have changed it?

There was one last time I was there, but that was Nov 2010. :/

Oh that would be so nice if there was!!

I can safely say this because DBF doesn't go on here and probably doesn't even know what DIS is...I've been getting hints from family members and mutual friends that I might be receiving a certain piece of jewelry during this trip. This seems like somewhere that he might pick if it does indeed happen. I pray he does it somewhere where a photographer is nearby!!

They changed the location of the Photopass Photographer. They used to be over near the dessert tables. When we were there in April this year, they were located just near the entrance to the party.

Thanks for the info- maybe we'll see you there!

Keep an eye on the Sept ADR cancellation thread everyone...people are likely to give up other ADRs for this party. I bet we'll see some good ADRs on there the next few days!

You are so smart! I was able to tweak the one ressie that I wasn't happy with! Glad you posted this!

Sept 23 for 6

So glad this is over!!! The one day I am out of the office all day! Then I can't get my computer to work. Then the Disney website freezes up, then it tells me down for maintenance, then server is busy. When I finally got it back up, it kept leaving half the members of my party out of the reservation. Took me 6 tries to finally get it to go through. I'm pretty sure I had a mini anxiety attack getting this booked.

Thanks! I hope it hasn't changed- would make for great photo ops, I would think & we invested in the PP+ so interested in using it EVERYWHERE! :0)

Great info- thanks! Hoping to catch a dessert party pic of my birthday girl...

There has been a PP every time we've been there! Last time 2012.

I think it s PP preference. I've seen the (same) PP start at one area and move to the other area.

Many have reported booking an extra person then calling and canceling the extra person with no problem.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure we can keep the ressie, even it is only 2 of us and not 3. Still gonna check in case anyone cancels though. Wish me luck! And thanks for this thread, even though I was late at least I got something. Especially after checking since the End of June, every day, all day long!!

I couldn't get 2 for Sept 8th so I made a res for 4. I then cancelled two all on the same call.

I have spent the last hour and a half dealing with this. Website wouldn't work so I waited 50 minutes on hold to get someone on the phone. I need a reservation for 2 but only reservations for 3 are available. I was told that I cannot drop a person from the reservation, I will lose the entire thing or have to pay for the 3rd person I don't have. I am so frustrated right now. The reason was because I asked if I could cancel the 3rd person. I was told if I hadn't mentioned that I could have but now that they know I am planning that, they won't let me? So if I lied, fine, by asking I lose out. Perfect. I have been trying for 5 years to get this stupid reservation during my trip. At this point I am just over it.
