Does anyone know if an adult can purchase a kids dessert package for themselves instead of the adult one? The whole dessert package idea sounds great in theory, except I know I personally don't like the majority of whats in the adult one, however would eat what's in the kids one. I know the kids one is half the price, but it's not like you'd be ripping Disney off by purchasing it since you literally get what you're paying for.
Did the dessert party tonight and asked about this. The servers said they are given a set number of boxes for adults and kids to hand out, so they don't have discretion to give an adult a kids box, BUT if you can get it noted on your reservation that you are requesting a kid box, that should be fine. I'm guessing you'd need to call Disney rather than make your reservation online, unless there is a "special request" section online (I can't remember from when we booked). That said, they accidentally gave my kids (who are Disney adults) the "kid" box. I glanced at it before I returned it for the adult box and it was REALLY small and pretty sad looking. Just my opinion!
Also, FYI - we arrived at 6:30 for a 7:30 show, mostly because we were ready to sit and have a break. We had our pick of seats, but we were definitely not among the first people there. By 7:10 the section was almost completely full, especially if you had more than 3-4 people.
And I know people have asked about a beer/wine alternative to the liquor drink (which looked sickly sweet and had tequila, which I swore off in college) - I didn't see any alternatives, although I didn't ask. They hand out boxes and drinks at a small stand, and I didn't see where they could possibly have drink alternatives.
Hope that's helpful! I'll say my two sons and I were underwhelmed by the desserts. We all liked the chocolate covered strawberries and my boys liked the chocolate cake, but we weren't wowed by anything else. It was worth it to us to try it out and have the preferred seating, but I'd probably do the dining package next time instead.
