We lined up for our dessert party reservation about an half an hour before we were supposed to be let in. We really didn't have anything else to do and we were all cold and dragging at this point of the night.
There were a decent amount of people lined up before us. The line started moving right when they said it would. There were two rows of tables, most of them were 4 people high tops. There were about 4 low tables in the front row middle. We wanted a high top in the first row and were able to get one of the last ones. It was near the low tables in the middle.
This is what the view in front of us looked like. There was about a 10 foot empty green space, then the disabled seating area.
Some people have reported being sat with other groups, but we were a group of 3 and our 4th chair remained empty. Here is the menu that is sitting at the table when you arrive:
For drinks, you could get a glass of wine or an alcoholic beverage, pop, water, coffee or hot chocolate.
And a fun wheel challenge instructions. We didn't do this and I'm not even sure if this works anymore.
There are also bread baskets on the table.
We all chose the alcoholic drink and were able to have 2. It wasn't that strong, and it was just ok. We also got hot chocolates, which tasted amazing and were excellent for the cold night.
We'd brought back our 60th glow with the show ear hats. They are kind of heavy and we didn't feel like wearing them, so we left them as embellishments to the table. We turned them off once the show began.
Our waitress was lovely and we had a nice time sitting and waiting for the show.
So...I thought the desserts all kind of sucked. I had heard they weren't the greatest, and we weren't here for the food. We were here for the good view and the seats.
Which I actually enjoyed a lot. I am only 5'2, so I always worry about being able to see shows at Disneyland. Not only do you usually have to camp out for about an hour before show time to get a good view, you usually have to stand while doing it. Which can suck after a long day of walking and standing.
I think it was worth the price just to have a seat, hot chocolate, and a guaranteed drama free good view. I wouldn't do this every trip, but every once in a while I think it would be worth it.
I didn't take a lot of pictures, I just wanted to enjoy the show.
But here are a few just to give you an idea of the view:
That was it for us. We were all worn out and tired. After the show we left the parks and our friend went to her DL hotel and we hoofed it back to the Simba parking lot and back to our La Quinta. .
