I have wanted to do this for a while but couldn't get reservations. This is a nice idea but i'm afraid my kids would get lost in the crowds and a poor view. Which defeats the whole purpose of why I wanted reservations in the 1st place.

Can you use your table service dining credit for this? Thanks.

We had the dessert party booked as something special for the end of our trip but I've heard since the expansion it's very crowded and the tables are a first come first serve vs being reserved...... I just seems very pricy for something that's not so special ☹️

Call Guest Services to confirm the reservation. When we went there was a table for us with a nameplate. I can't imagine first-come-first served. It's fine. There are dozens of desserts, perfectly proportioned for sampling. Hot chocolate, coffee and other drinks. It is fun and special. Yes, it gets booked to the limit each time, so there will be elbows touching in line and going to and from the dessert table at first, but once everyone has been seated it's a little more manageable and less claustrophobic. It is pricey, but remember, it's probably something you will do only once. It's like anything else, it is what you make it. If you look for things not to like, you will find them. If you go in with an open mind it can be magical!

2 sections. Upper section for this new version and lower section for the older one

I think everyone should try it once. After that you will have an idea about whether or not it is something for you. Everybody is different. It was a fun splurge for me and my family of 7, and I'm glad we did it, but with so many other good options out there, once was enough for us.

Reasonable suggestion. We did it once for Wishes during Christmas time a year or two back, and then after for Illuminations on Christmas Eve. Pricey for what it is, but it can be something special for you and your family to try.

Thanks for expanding because of the popularity. What a spin move. The FPP for Wishes was very popular as well and that was not expanded. No, it was killed in order to expand the $29, no $49, no $59 "party". The up sell occuring the past few weeks is a joke. I don't have an issue with them offering premium experiences, but when they come at the expense of a previously included experience, this time wishes FPP, in order to charge for it, many take issue. Gate prices are higher and staffing is down with much longer lines at some attractions early as they operate at half capacity, which translate to longer lines most of the morning. Maintenance and service levels have been reduced. Given the dismal state of HS, no way this park should have a $100 gate fee. And very quietly the expansions, TS & SW lands, are being scaled back. It is sad, but for a lot of folks the "magic" is diminishing.

Having a spirited discussion about this on another Disney board, especially as it relates to the new "Extra Magic" evening and morning events. Some say, hey, it's Disney's prerogative, what's the harm? while others of us see it as a sign of EMH for on-property resort guests being eventually phased out completely. The experiences are great, no argument, but as we see more of the things that used to be included being spun off into separately ticketed events, that is where others take exception.

I hope they aren't scaling back Toy Story. I was really looking forward to that, considering they are trying to turn the whole park into star wars!
