I called today and ask if they were canceling the party. They said no but it was not offer all the time only seasonally.
I have booked this party three times so far. And the only thing I know absolutely for certain is that the cm's on the phone never have any correct information about it. The first year they booked the wrong thing for me, and I had to call back and convince them it was wrong. Last year I had to explain what it was before they would look it up. This year they said August wasn't available when I called. I had to insist that I knew it was open so she would keep looking.
In all three cases, of it weren't for these boards, I would have missed out completely all three times.
So I suggest you take any "official" answers with a grain of salt.
I do know that they have opened the Terrace for meals during periods of high demand (like during
free dining). IIRC, the first year of the dessert party, it was not offered on nights that the Noodle Terrace was open for dinner. So maybe it has something to do with that, and they are figuring out the dates. Or they are fiddling with prices, etc. I would think this makes them lots of money, so unless they have found a way to make more money in that space, it seems like a no-brainer to keep offering it. If they are afraid attendance will not be high enough, well, it seems like they could easily increase attendance it they made it easier to book.
So at this point, for those waiting for September, I suggest you keep doing what you are doing...keeping updated on these boards. I'm sure everyone in this thread will know when Sept. opens before the majority of Cm's in the reservation call center do! Wishing you luck!
