I come out to $969, if doing 20% tip.So that would definitely raise the $864 I stated above! wow!
I'm seeing some differing opinions on this but I'm going to ask anyway.
Does Disney mind if I take some of the treats in a ziplock or small box to go? My husband can put away some treats and I know he'd enjoy some during the fireworks and/or later in the room.
I am vegan (medical) and this is what they brought. The chef who brought it said it was all vegan and I *think* I remember him also saying it was gluten free, but don't quote me on that. He brought a similar plate to others around the seating area. It was a lot, and I didn't finish it all. They wouldn't provide me with anything to take it to the viewing area so I had to venture out to find a container. This was July 4 and it was a madhouse walking out and about before the fireworks to get something to take the remaining food. I eventually made it to Cosmic Ray's where they gave me take-out boxes and a bag. (Not sure if the gummies had gelatin, most of the bags of gummies they sell in the parks do, and I've seen chefs overlook that on their vegan watch list, but luckily gelatin doesn't cause me issues)
Getting back, well, that was a whole different story. They closed some pathways and others were only one-way AWAY from the hub so I had to work my way around the top of the hub back into the dessert party, a very long ordeal. So I would suggest bringing your own containers if you don't think you'll eat a lot.
All in all, definitely worth the roomy viewing area for July 4, and even though we had a rain delay, it was a fantastic time.View attachment 335739
I did the Dessert party years ago before Garden Viewing was an option. Please explain how it works now - do reserved Terrace guests and Garden guests use the same dessert area and then are escorted to the appropriate location for seating? There are not 2 different dessert areas, correct? thank you.
I mush prefer the back fence, and I’m a shorty. Never had an issue seeing the protections back there as most folks tend to all crowd forward once the show starts. Also, even at the front of the garden, you still run the risk of people stopping along the walkway to watch, then you have to wait for a CM to come shoo them along.Hi everyone! This thread has been so helpful - and fun! - as I plan our whirlwind day at MK.
Our group will be kind of large (7) with 3 kids. Is the best viewing spot for them toward the front fence? Or, would it be easy to see the projections from the back of the garden area?
The last few reviews sound like to get the front fence, we would need to leave the party early to claim a spot in the garden. The back fence, however, sounds a little it stays available a little longer.
I am not sure how long we’ll stay in the dessert area but I’d like not to rush the kids through.... a buffet of just dessert items sounds like a dream come true for them!
Would love some thoughts/advice!! Thanks!
Shhhhhhhh, don't give away the best kept secret of that viewing area.I mush prefer the back fence, and I’m a shorty.

I used to go out about 30 minutes prior when there was only one party, 45 minutes would be better these days if you want your pick of spots.Thank you both!! I had planned the back of the garden but wanted to make sure the little ones would be able to see.
About how early do you think we should head that way to find a spot?
