I've attended the dessert party with Plaza Garden viewing several times. I love the ease of not being squished into the hub and still seeing the show. At one of our MNSSHP nights, I booked the dessert party because I wanted a chance to really enjoy the new show without jockeying for a good view. That worked out well so I am now booked to see the new Christmas show when we attend MVMCP on Nov 24. I'm particularly glad I booked for MVMCP because our night was the second to sell out.
For those interested in the food/dessert portion. I will say that my son and I are not the type to eat large meals. The dining plan is WAY too much food for us. We typically share meals still
But... we both get our money worth at the dessert party in cheeeseburger egg-rolls! It's got to be $7 or $8 for 2 rolls when they are serving them at the cart in Adventureland. With the eggrolls and a few desserts, fruit, cheese, and all the drinks available, we leave stuffed and ready for the show. I like to ask for a to-go cup and bring either hot chocolate or decaf coffee down to the garden
