Wishes Dessert Party ADR Watch Thread #3-book @ 180 Days Now!

[Kelly528]

I want to go in December so I have time to book it right?

It's under the dinging section in reservations? I would love for my BF and I to sit there during wishes!

When your ADR window opens (sometime in June?) then you can book the dessert party. It now goes under the regular ADR schedule 180 days out for off site and 190 for onsite. Good Luck!

That seems to be happening a lot when people are viewing on a mobile device. Try getting on a desktop and try to book it like you do with all other ADRs. So selecting "Things to do" once logged into MDE and the choosing "Make Reservations" under the Dining section. I can see availability this way through the end of August.

When I was looking a few weeks ago, this is what happened to me. I wasn't able to view August from my cell phone. Then when I looked on my computer August wasn't showing up. It was not until I used my computer and logged into MDE that I was able to view August dates.

Hi KaLyn and Fjobe! Thanks for the tips. Interestingly enough, yesterday I had initially gone through the same channels on a desktop you both mention and that's where I was having the issue. I was able to select the date in the main dining reservation page, but it showed the dessert party as no times available. So I clicked on the dessert party's page, and that's where I was unable to select any date in June-August in the calendar...tried in Chrome and IE. What had puzzled me was that it seemed the cast member I called couldn't select it either as if it wasn't open yet. On the individual page, I even made sure I selected Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant because I know that can cause some issues as well if it's not manually selected.

Fast forward to today... While typing this, I tried one more time. Same beginning but when I went to the individual page, it now is letting me select through June 2 - aka exactly 90 days from today! Now I know it's not completely broken! Still not sure why I can't book 90+ days out, but I can at least book at the 90-day mark, which is March 28.

Wanted to post the outcome here in case it is happening to anyone else. Will update if I uncover any more info about it.

Thanks again for your input!

Apparently there are some bugs with the reservation system. I just made a reservation in June. Here is how I did it:

DO NOT try to reserve on any mobile device or mobile app.
DO NOT go into the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party page and search for an opening this way. (This will only give you 90 days out)
INSTEAD do a search for the date you want your reservation to be and put in the time of 9PM in Magic Kingdom. A list of available restaurants will show
If there is an availability for this day at Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party it WILL show!

I've been messing around with it on and off all day and I finally got a June date availability an hour ago.

Good luck!

I just tried to do this and it worked....BUT when I went to confirm the date after reserving it, the date had completely changed around and I nearly booked one in August, when I wanted September!
I don't know whats going on! The disney CM i spoke to on the phone wasn't sure why she couldn't select it either!!

So, we made a last minute decision to try and get reservation for Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party. Mind you we are not going till August but we passed the 180 mark. I have been trying all different ways and so far it says No Times Available. If anyone has any luck reserving for August please let me know your trick. Won't give up. Thanks.

 

[smoihusted]

We were just able to get our trip booked for mid May so of course we are way inside the 180 day window. We are hoping for a cancellation for either May 19 or 21 for 4 people. If anyone is canceling for either of those dates I would be SO grateful if you'd contact me!!!

Thanks!!

I know its frustrating but keep trying, with a little magical luck you will get it


For everyone trying to get a reservation, if you keep the page open and go back to it every so often and press refresh you might find availability. This is what I did.
From what I understand there is a five day cancellation policy with Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party. I was planning on checking often when the 5 days was drawing near.

 

[Kegraties]

Keep trying i am going on the 15 of may and last night i got a table for 5. that suddenly popped up.

I was able to book for our chosen date for Wishes Dessert Party for the first time in my last five trips simply by calling right at my 180+10 window opening last week - I called at about 7:15am eastern after trying the app & MDE online, both were giving me times but I'd get an error message when trying to complete the reservation.

After trying and trying and checking & obsessively rechecking on my past 5 trips without success - I am over the moon to be finally getting to experience it! Who knew all it would take was a phone call out of pure frustration.. lol.

Best advice - don't mess with online or the app - call! I was also able to get BOG on that same call, for the exact same time and date I was hoping for. Call!

 

[sieprincess]

I'm not giving up please if anyone is canceling for mar 27 please let me know! Would also be open to mar 26,27,28 and 31. Looking for a party of 4-6. I'm stalking the page and have called several times. It's getting close but I'm hoping for some Disney magic/luck

Thanks so much for the advice! I couldn't figure out why everyone was saying you could book at 180 days yet it wasn't showing up last weekend when I tried. I was just able to get in for August 30

I just wanted to know is the dessert party a quick service credit on the dining plan or is it separate cost ?

It is a separate service you cannot use the dining plan for the party.

 

[megamay]

I'm looking for 2 people on Mar 28, 29, 30

just fyi if anyone is cancelling.

 

[maryj11]

Ok thank you. I have another question. If the fireworks start at 10:00 what time do they start the dessert party ? Or what time do we need to arrive, if we manage to get a reservation lol

9pm The party begins an hour before the fireworks.

The party starts 1 hour before wishes, when you make your reservation you may see time like 9:20 or 9:05 this is just a way to get people to slowly come in. No matter what time your ADR says you are allowed into the party 1 hour before wishes begins. A line does begin to form 15 to 20 minutes before the party starts, when we went we did not wait long to get in and we arrived a little after the start of the party. Good Luck

 

[maryj11]

Ok thank you

Can you see the parade from the party?
