***OFFICIAL*** Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Spectacular & Dessert Party ***2019 JBJB Discussion Begins on Pg. 39***

Isn't the area where they typically have the seating for the desserts blocked off for renovations currently?

It's partially walled off but the courtyard is expected to be available for the party.

Has there been confirmation of what date the SW show will be run in addition to JBJB show?

I wasn't aware that there is a return date before it resumes on Jan 7th.

Alright, alright... you guys twisted my arm. I booked the party for 12/9. I missed out on the HEA fireworks viewing dessert party (sold out already) so I was pretty excited to see this one.

Hi - is there a post or thread that talks about the best viewing location without the dessert party?
We are a party of 5 with two on scooters. Not sure if there is a special handicap area we should go to or just the best location in general.

This will be our first time to see the show.

Thanks
Todd

There is only 1 day when they show both JBJB and Star Wars, and that's NYE. That day they have JBJB early, and Star Wars at midnight. Then it's only JBJB and after Jan 7th it is only StarWars.

So glad I found this thread! We'll be attending the party on Thanksgiving night It'll be me, DH and my MIL, and will be MIL's first visit to WDW since 1985! DH and I did the JBJB party in 2016 and it still remains our favorite dessert party.
We did the SW dessert party in September, and didn't love the viewing area. Has there been any talk of them moving it further back, or is it still planned to be right in front of the Chinese Theater?

Have you seen that posted by Disney somewhere?

No talk about moving it because there's no where to move to. For reasons which I won't get in to, they cannot use any of the space currently used by day guests. Most party Guests are ok with the viewing location.

I know the question wasn’t aimed at me, but looking at the WDW website a few days ago to see if any Star Wars parties had been added, I saw that there was only the one (New Years Eve).

there is a handicap viewing area, as you look toward Center stage it's on the left

Thanks Fastpasser! It wasn't awful, but DH and I both agreed we preferred the old viewing locations. It'll be fine either way, especially on a day as busy as Thanksgiving!

We will be there Thanksgiving night as well, our first time for JBJB.

Yup, originally that wasn't the case.

Yup, I see that now.

You're not alone in that thinking. It's not so bad now because the higher fireworks have been suspended. If you were in the wrong spot when they did have them, you couldn't see them at all.

Does anyone have experience with the dessert party with someone with a peanut allergy? Where their items that were safe? Did you get your own plante? etc

They deal with food allergies on a nightly basis. There's always a party Chef, so just tell any CM and they'll direct you to the Chef or have them come to your table to explain the options. Depending on the allergy, they may offer you a limited assortment of alternative desserts. I'm not sure it's worth doing the party for those with severe food allergies.

Did you get your own plante? etc

Hmm, not familiar with that word.

I think I have my husband talked into this. We have never attended a dessert party, and this one seems to be the one everyone likes the best, so I think it's the one we may try. It will be us and our 2 children (15 & 22). I have to move my Sci-Fi reservation to a lunchtime slot instead of dinner, though, as my husband says he won't give up that reservation, lol, and I don't want to eat dinner right before a dessert party (I don't think?). Reading this post has me really excited to try it, but I can't seem to push the button just yet - can it be cancelled later if we decided against it?

 

[summerskye]

I think it is treated like a ADR and can be cancelled up to 24 hrs before. Again, I think.
