Are you sure that isn't for the first show at 9:00? The check in time for the first show is 8pm.

100% sure They checked everyone in for the first show by a little after 8 and walked them over to the seating area. At about 8:15 they started checking in for the late show. We had our wristbands by 8:25 and went off to ride some rides. Now (9:30) in line to be walked over to the seating area. They are still checking in a few folks.

Can anyone explain why you need to get in line twice? I've done WOC desert party once and I'm trying to decide if I want to do it again. Having to stand in line twice is a definate con. The whole check in process is very confusing.

When we did the WoC dessert party this January we only checked in once and that was about an hour before the first show. We were then lead to the table areas and guided to our table. We sat and ate our desserts for about 45 minutes before the show actually started.

I don't think you "need" line up twice. But if you have a table request by checking in early your request is more likely to be accepted. If you don't care where you are seated you could just go close to the time you are seated and be fine.

I did this a few days ago. NO cast members could tell me anything about the check-in process . That includes 3 different people in guest relations at different times. They all said, you have a reservation time in the app. Go then. My time was 9:15, which I knew from this thread was way too late. So I stopped by the water wheel around 7:30, when I saw a lady there. There were now 2 signs, checking for first show and checking for second show. She said once she finished checking in the first show, she would start to check innthe second show. There were already 10 or so in line for the second show. So I hung out, and finally got checked in around 8. 27 and 26, often mentioned here, were long gone. I was given 20, which was a high top with a great view. I was seated with a couple who were next to me in line. She said to come.back at 9:35 or 9:40 to line up on the wall and be walked to the table.

So I took my wristband and went and rode Radiator Springs, ILL, and Mater and Luigi. I got back around 9:40. I was about the last in the parade to the seats.

I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the dessert plate. It was very fresh and tasty. Our server was Dragon. He said we got 2 alcoholic beverages and said to order both at the same time. I got the watermelon margarita, which was tasty with a very salty rim . For the other I got the white wine, which I think they accidentally grabbed the "only use for cooking" wine. It wasn't one you would deliberately buy. But it was my first time in DCA, I was really tired, and drank it all! Dragon kept track of us, and then thanked us for the honor of serving us. I hadn't thought about a tip and discovered I had a 20 , which I slipped him as opposed to doing nothing. He looked surprised and happy.

They came around with boxes, and it all survived enough to have the leftoves for breakfast. The rice Krispy treat, coated in white chocolate and sprinkles, was the unexpected star of the show.

So you didn't end up watching Fantasmic and trying to wind your way through both parks to get to WOC?

That's good to hear. I know you were skeptical.

My first night, I was able to snag a BB Fantasmic package through a dining alert. So I saw the fireworks from the hub-ish, and fought my way then to Fantasmic second show.

As you know, the crowds are crazy crowded. I can wiggle through same level crowds at WDW, but our magic kingdom walkways are wider and it makes a difference .

The best food I’ve had on this trip was the heirloom tomato Watermelon salad at BB and that dessert plate! Sadly I’ve not had luck with food being hot. The ribeye at BB was freshly cooked, but the mashed setup underneath was room temp, and the monte Cristo was soggy the next day at 11 am, which I would guess they pre set up. The beef nachos at lamplight boardwalk were cold and congealed (they replaced them ). At trader Sam’s yesterday I got ramen and it was hot!

Last night tonight, I am trying Paseo.

That's a bummer about the food. Glad you were able to see all three shows. Did you also watch fireworks from SWGE?

I'm curious what you think about Paseo dinner. We've only eaten there for brunch.

This is my last night and I decided to bag SWGE fireworks in favor of a couple of margaritas. I was evacuated TWICE from RISE this trip and the Force is running weak in this one.
