WOC desert party

[SOCALMouseMommy]

7:30

Thank you! We will show up then too tonight.

I’m just curious, has WOC DP ever been buffet style like the one at Magic Kingdom? Or has it always been plated?

Can’t speak for WOC but the Fantasmic Dessert Party (RIP) was at one point buffet style.

Is this for the 8pm reservation?
And thank you for the review. Hope you guys had a good time.

Yes, for the 8:00 reservation. It was an unorganized mass of crowd until about 7:50 so we just tried to stick close to the podium.

Hopefully they will get a queue organized earlier going forward.

All the reviews I’ve read from the past have said 1 plate per person. I guess it never hurts to ask if there are any extras, but I would not count on this going in.

I know they had a glow cup at least five years ago (maybe four years ago) because I was considering taking my son. And then I didn’t and I remember seeing that they went away. Honestly the value isn’t great for the kids! They should cost less since they aren’t consuming alcohol and don’t get anything in its place.

Same with the princess breakfast. The parents should be less since they don’t get all the “souvenirs.”

I wish they have alcohol vs no alcohol pricing. Alcohol makes me sleepy so it would not be smart for me to drink during a show
Kids and adults who don’t drink gets alcohol free pricing or same price but extra souvenir.

Oh well

This is probably a silly question about a dessert party, but we are all about the seating and not being crammed together. So one of our party is a diabetic, do they have any sugar free dessert options. I mean of course the cheese and a little fruit is fine, but it would be nice if you could make that request, if available. I know they accommodate allergies, so maybe?

The e-mail I got regarding WOC allergies said you could get a fruit & cheese plate for allergies or the regular plate. In this post above she didn’t even get cheese on her allergy plate.

Here is a screen shot of the kids sipper. Hopefully it lasts as a permanent option for kids.

That's adorable! I hope they have them for a while. What is considered a kid? My dd is 11, I wonder if she can have one.

I would hope that since the cost is the same regardless of age, that they would give your dd one.

Same! I have a 9 and a 12 year old, going next month. Obviously 12 year old is booked as an adult but would love the light up sipper, especially if her sister gets one

Everything that I have seen showed 1 plate and a shared bread basket from day 1. I haven't done it. I guess they only had the 1 plate last night. Our DS probably won't eat anything, except maybe rice krispy treat. We will just get him a treat beforehand and eat his portion. I still want to sit to see it, and it's worth it to me. We did the dining package standing area several years ago. The view wasn't the best. Luckily, the meal at Carthay Circle was fabulous.

I don't believe the WOC DP has ever been buffet. Every time we've done the DP, there has been 1 plate per person. They used to have containers for you to take any extra dessert items with you. It is fine to bring in food items purchased elsewhere. We've seen people bring in cookies, candy, and corn dogs to supplement the dessert plate.

Anyone know about what time they have been releasing the ability to book the dessert package?

Reading through the thread, so if I'm understanding, you check in, get a wristband. Then they let you in the area with the tables, but don't escort you to a table? I would have thought with the varying party sizes, they would need to do so.

I will have a party of 5, 2 adults 3 young kids. If we show up at ~ 830, to check in, is there an issue with getting a table together? Not having to line up 1.5 hours before show is one big reason I'm doing dessert party. (And seats of course, at my age getting up and down from the ground is harder!!)

I was hoping most of the early birds would have been seated by then, and we would have minimal wait, could sit, get our desserts, and be eating during the show.

So if I have a WOC dessert party reservation that says 9:15pm that's the check in time for the 10:15pm show? How does that work if the previous show starts at 9pm?

 

[sophy1996]

Yes, they escort you to a table. You check in at the podium and get a wristband, go to the level with the tables, give your name again, then the CM tells another CM which table to take you to.

You could also consider showing up to check in and get your table. Once you have your wristbands, most of your party could leave the area and return before show start.

If it is like other dining it should be at 6am Pacific. The first day they dropped later around 8am and they were using a virtual waiting room but maybe that was just for the first day.

I think there could be a possibility that you aren’t able to sit together if you show up that late. But hopefully not. Are your reservations linked?

Last night we lined up at 7:35 and all the first row high tops were gone by the time we were seated at 8:15. We got lucky with a high top behind low tops (on the end so no one was next to us) and it was great.

If you show up at 8:30 you might not have any line though, or a short line, which would be nice. I saw some people come in at 8:55 to be seated (as I was coming back from the restroom). Make sure you order your two drinks right when you sit down if you come that late because they don’t serve you during the show.
