I don’t think the price increase is THAT much. Right now they are $99 and $114. I feel like they were $79 and $99 before.

 

[Cynner]

I hope to grab a reservation for one of these for our upcoming trip. We have done the Tomorrowland Terrace ones before and really enjoyed them. Very relaxing way to end the day! The price increase is significant, but does include beer and wine now- it only included non-alcoholic beverages when we went before I believe.

The alchohol alone makes it worth it for me - plus we'll be in the parks 2 hrs after the fireworks, so being in the back corner is actually very nice. You can slip back through tomorrowland without feeling like a salmon swimming upstream.
Not sure the Epcot parties are worth it - seems to me to be a lot more space to watch from.

Can you book the dessert parties online or do you have to call?

I made mine online precovid.

Has anyone ever done the Dessert parties with a scooters? I assume when it says 'Standing Room Only' - that means no scooters?
Just want to make sure if I should get the Seat & Treat vs Plaza view as my elderly in-laws are coming with us.

In the past this was no issue with plaza viewing. In fact, scooters were given front row (best spot) for viewing!

Last time I did one - a couple of years ago now - there was a special section of the Plaza view area for scooters.

I wonder if the terrace will have as many tables for the fireworks parties, as they did before/pre-covid. I remember being surprised at how many tables were jammed together for the dessert party itself. The fireworks viewing area was great, but the tables were an uncomfortable mess. It was difficult to get up and down to get to the food, at least where we were seated. I'm not bringing it up to gripe about, but more so to give others a heads up about what it might look like, in case it's of concern.

I’m thinking lunch and get my own dessert in France.

This will be us too. For three of us that will still be a $200 lunch after tax and tip and exchange (we’re Canadian). That seems outrageous enough.

 

[BorderTenny]

Space 220 Lunch menu price is $55 - Dessert not included. PLUS a Lounge Menu - so that means walk ups??

Why on Earth did they go with apps instead of dessert with lunch? Those aren't even really apps. At places like Texas Roadhouse they're sides. I'd much rather have any of the desserts.
