Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. On our Anniversary, April 4th, my wife and I booked the dessert party, garden plaza view. The first part of the experience was great, the second part, not so much. When we were in the reserved plaza area section, people continuously jumped over the small gates and "slipped" into the reserved area. There was no Disney cast member assigned to "keep watch" As we paid over 250 for our family to have this experience it was highly disappointing. I had a large family that hoped the fence, then stood up in front of us( we were sitting on the grass). I confronted them, asked them to move, but they either did not, or pretended not to speak English. I eventually flagged down a cast member who was working crowd control outside the plaza area who escorted them out, suddenly they somehow understood English at this point. Anyway, dozens of people jumped the fence, many complained, and one cast member was assigned to "watch" the area. Which was actually quite overwhelming for him, and asked if people in the front area could help "keep watch" and let him know as people "snuck in". Anyway, this was probably my worst Disney experience, we are annual pass-holders and very frequent guests. Hopefully Disney spends a bit more money to staff cast members properly for such events in the future.
