Yay! I'm so excited for this dessert party. It sounds perfect! Even if it's more popular next month, not fighting to get your food and make it to a viewing area on time sounds fabulous! Also glad they have sticky toffee pudding because I made Zack share with me last September and he didn't like it
And Pog juice because we haven't tried it yet!
This is exactly why I booked the after party. The fact that you don't have to rush to get food and eat really made it more appealing. We experienced this last year, and everyone was hot and rushing to get food, the desserts weren't replenished quickly, they ran out of cheese and fruit...it was the opposite of what I had experienced tonight.
Wow you haven't tried POG? I'm sure you can find it at a grocery store near you. It's like a sweet juice, but out of all the sweet juices I like POG the most.
Ohhh...I like that after party! sounds so much nicer than the before party!
It is soooo much better, I really enjoyed it and I felt no pressure to eat quickly or show up that early. It was great!
Perfect night! Looks like there are lots of great treats to enjoy
Yes! It really was better than I expected! Last year during the dessert party it was a mad rush for food and they ran out, and everyone was yelling throughout the viewing area, it was not pleasant. But this time was wonderful!
What a great review of the after party! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this. It does sound like you had a truly magical evening.
Thank you! It was a magical evening indeed. I didn't expect it to be so nice! I had high hopes and it really did live up to them!
You were doing it right! Plus they weren't like BIG plates
That's what I thought...very small plates! That means it's ok to eat (a lot) more!
That is amazing to have the whole hub to yourself like that
I was so stunned at how empty it felt in that area. It was so nice!
Haven't seen that in forever! I'm not able to hang like I used to on my commando trips
I haven't seen it in forever either! I'm glad I was able to shut down MK!
I so did
NOT need this temptation Su-Lynn! Sticky toffee pudding? Chocolate covered strawberries? MACARONS?! Not to mention all those great savory options. And a make your own s'mores bar?!
I'm going to have a hard time not booking this one.
It's much better than I expected it to be! I was thoroughly surprised considering our not so fun time last year. I would definitely pick the after fireworks one from now on though!
Update: if a chocolate covered strawberry is $3.99 plus tax at the confectionary and the party is $69 including tax, you only need to eat 16 of them to get your value out of the party
how many can you sneak out in a ziploc bag before it's obvious?
(Disney math mode)
This makes so much sense because of course you need to eat your weight in chocolate covered strawberries to make it worth it.
THIS is why I booked the party. After two trips where I had to settle for seeing it far away, i'm ready for my good view! HEA is beautiful and Youtube is great and everything, but I need to see it closer than the end of main street or on the poly beach (my previous viewing locations).
It really is one of those things that need to be seen up close. But not too close because then you'd miss out on some of the fireworks, so I think the Plaza viewing area is the best overall view.
Ok, I know this won't be the case on our night (new year's day), but a girl can dream. That is awesome!!
LOL I'm sure it won't but I would totally do it because it is worth it to get a guaranteed spot!
I would be in for that for sure!
Dessert parties need to have a dole whip machine!
I am very excited about this part and I have no idea why. We have a big built in stone fire pit in our back yard and do s'mores every so often, but they're so messy. I like the idea of someone else making it and me getting less marshmallow all over my hands!
Haha then you'd like this, although it's a little different than regular s'mores as they roast the marshmallow over a flame then dip it into gram cracker crumbles and chocolate chips. So just a different and portable take on the s'more.
i think the addition of the ooey gooey toffee cake was the deciding factor for booking this, aside from the garden view of HEA
OMG me too, it really confirmed that I needed to try this party. It's really good but quite filling!
another thing i'm hoping for!! Although I have a sneaking suspicion that park hours will extend and crush that dream.
On New Year's Day? Probably! But hopefully it won't be too bad.
Aww!! I love that you got to feel that extra magic!! You had a pretty perfect experience at this party, I think it looks worth every penny and then some.
Yes! For me it was the most magical experience! I felt like I had an almost private dessert party - and coming out to an empty castle area, it was so surreal! I haven't seen it that empty in ages!!
The Dessert Party looks fantastic and delicious !
Thanks! It was a great experience and I highly recommend the after fireworks party!
Veteran move.
