Wishes Dessert Party

[mustBgoofy]

Please move this if there is a thread open on this already, I just couldn't find one.

Does anyone know if the Wishes Dessert Party will be extended past 2009? I was hoping to use it as a birthday surprise but cannot find info on whether or not it has been extended. Thanks for any and all help!

I had forgotten about this....I really want to do this in June....someone will be around soon to let us know......waiting, waiting....still waiting....just kiddin'....

Funny you brought this up -- I was just thinking about it yesterday. The only thing I have found was that it ends early January -- not sure if there is any new updates to that, though....

I have not heard of any plans to extend it past January 2nd at this point. However, I think it's conceivable they may offer it again down the road, especially during busy periods.

Keeping my fingers crossed for July.

There's a rumor that it's coming back in March. I called and the CM told me she didn't know if it would be coming back but that it was really possible as it was extremely popular.

We're going down next week- I kept hoping they would extend it for our trip.

The "official" ruling is it may come back in the spring. Not sure when that would mean if at all.

FROM ANOTHER SITE:

Wishes Dessert Party on hiatus through early Spring

As we mentioned back on November 16 and in an interview on the MouseStation podcast on Thanksgiving, the Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party was scheduled through January 2 and expected to reopen after some dining room refurbishments in late March. I received confirmation from Walt Disney World last week that the Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party will indeed be dark beginning on January 3 for facility refurbishments, and that you should look for the popular experience to return in early Spring 2010. More information on reservation availability following the refurbishment should be coming soon. We'll let you know when we have that information.

.....good to hear....thank you very much !!!!

We kinda looked forward to it, so we've decided to make our own little buffet with stuff from the Confectionary when we're there in a few weeks.

Okay, not quite as grand and may only consist of coffee, fudge and rice krispie treats, but hey, WE'RE THERE!

...sounds good too, however I really like the idea of having a place to watch wishes in a more "private" area.....yeah, I know, not private but not on the street either......

Good to hear it will be returning, missed it on our honeymoon but I am going in June with my BFF (and matron of honor). Hopefully we will get to try it!

They way the dessert party keeps extending, I hope it becomes a permanent thing!! We went in August and loved it. Everything was delicious and the fireworks were spectacular! I hope I will be able to go in April again!

From what I have heard it was very successful and profitable so expect to see it back in time for the Spring Break Rush

[mustBgoofy]

I called to ask about it in hopes that it might be extended and the CM said "not official but look for it late March" I hope she is right! I wanted to celebrate my DH birthday there! Thanks for all of the replies!

Bud, keep us posted on the updates that you find on the other site

Exactly what is the Wishes Dessert Party? I have heard of it before but don't know exactly what it is.

[mustBgoofy]

I believe that it was at the Tomorrowland Terrace (someone can correct me if I'm wrong) and it was just a buffet of desserts that were available to you with a view of wishes and from what I understand Tinkerbell flew right over the location. I'm not real sure on this though. This is just what I've picked up from bits and pieces of reading different things about it.

[Jenemmy]

OK -- I have a question -- has anyone ever REGRETTED going to the dessert party? I mean, it sounds heavenly to me, but I wonder if I would just hate myself afterwards -- LOL. Plus, I have this fear of my kids going overboard and then being sick (which, of course, I would try to prevent). Any thoughts??

What was the cost and was it something you have to book 180 or 90 days out?

DH and I went to the dessert party on 12/6 at MVMCP, and we absolutely loved it! Our table was in the front (as far forward/close to the castle as you can get), so we had an amazing view of the castle lights while we splurged on yummy desserts.

We then walked up the the railing a few minutes before the fireworks started, beating the crowd by about 10 second.

The dessert party was only about 1/3 full that night, so it was very pleasant. We will definitely do it again when we return!
