One way to secure a great spot for viewing the Magic Kingdom’s Happily Ever After Firework Spectacular is to reserve a place at the Happily Ever After Dessert Party. When you do, you’ll get some great new dessert options.
You can choose from two special viewing areas: Tomorrowland Terrace, with reserved seating, and Plaza Garden Viewing, a great way to see the castle projections.
If you set a reservation at either location, you will have access to all 10 of these desserts:
- A Villains Chocolate Cupcake inspired by Ursula with purple buttercream and chocolate crispy pearls.
- Pineapple Delight is a Dole Whip-inspired treat, light and fresh with whipped pineapple panna cotta with pineapple compote and a fresh pineapple spear.
- Chocolate Dipped Strawberries – dark chocolate, of course, are back.
- Chocolate Marshmallow Tart salutes Frontierland with a reimagined s’more: a graham cracker tart with chocolate custard topped with marshmallow meringue and a chocolate bar.
- Macarons, a sweet nod to Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland in flavors such as pistachio, raspberry, lemon, chocolate, coffee and vanilla.
- The bold Cheesecake Brownie Bite is in honor of the heroes in “Happily Ever After,” with a brownie topped with chocolate chip cheesecake and whipped cream. Add a drizzle of chocolate and more chocolate chips. This one is a repeat and guest favorite.
- Strawberry Tart inspiration comes from Main Street, U.S.A., an all-American dessert with a vanilla tart shell filled with lemon curd and raspberry sauce. Add a little strawberry mousse, strawberry crisp pearls and a little whipped cream with a fresh berry.
- The “Happily Ever After” Cupcake is the signature dessert – red velvet cake with yellow buttercream icing.
- Perfect for Instagramming with a “Happily Ever After” chocolate garnish.
- Chocolate Almond Cake features raspberry sauce in the center and a fresh raspberry on top.
- And Mickey is the muse for the Oreo Mickey Treat, whipped Oreo panna cotta topped with two chocolate ears and sprinkled with chocolate pearls on top of an Oreo.
To make a reservation for the Happily Ever After Dessert Party, call 407-WDW-DINE. There are different costs for each viewing area, and both include tax but not gratuity.
For a better view of the castle projections, the Plaza Garden Viewing cost is $59 or $35 ages 3 to 9. If your prefer reserved seating, Tomorrowland Terrace reservations cost $79 or $47 ages 3 to 9.
What dessert do you want to try most?
Kenny, where is the best place to try and grab a spot in the garden plaza viewing area?
Just find the view you prefer
Hi if you go for the plaza option do you have a table and seat whilst having desserts?
an hour before the event starts or an hour before the time Disney provides for the reservation, which is 7:45 for us?
I’d arrive 30 minutes before the time they tell you to arrive.
We are going to MK on 9/28, which is listed as a very light crowd day. We are looking at the Parade/Lunch Dining package and/or the Dessert Party. Thoughts on doing either or both on a light day?
Parade, nah. Find a shady spot instead. Dessert Party, do the plaza garden version. Cheaper with a better view.
Kenny, what time do you recommend arriving the a dessert party? Thank you! :)
An hour early
Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!!
i prefer the plaza. The actual dessert party is in the same place as the Terrace party (Tomorrow Land Terrace), then you are escorted to the garden plaza which is a prime view of the castle projection show and fireworks, and is its cheaper. I don’t think the view from Tomorrowland Terrace is very good.
We loved the Plaza Garden View! No obstructions.
Do you have a preference for which seating you like better?
Plaza garden
We are doing the plaza veiwing dessert party on Monday
