MK "Happily Ever After" Dessert Party (Parties) Discussion

I'm seeing some differing opinions on this but I'm going to ask anyway.
Does Disney mind if I take some of the treats in a ziplock or small box to go? My husband can put away some treats and I know he'd enjoy some during the fireworks and/or later in the room.
 
Reports are they no longer offer to go boxes, but I'm sure they have no problem with you taking a few things in your own container. I plan on doing it. Lots of people in the before party will fix a plate and take it to the viewing area to eat.

I filled up our popcorn bucket last time. No one said a thing. The lady at the table next to us was jealous. I said I learned it on the DIS! :D

Those macarons were delicious the next night. ;)

Ohhh...good idea! I've never taken to go before, but it's the after party, we're headed straight back to our resort and I'd like to have some snacks in the room, but was wondering how cumbersome plastic containers would be. I don't take a backpack in or even a large bag. Thanks!

Today is the day...I can feel it. Somebody out there saw their credit card bill on 4/1 and just had to cancel that WDW summer trip and all their dessert party ADRs

They just added the Frozen party dates, so get ready!
 


For anyone who is logging on every day and looking for reservations for sold out dates... there is hope! I have been looking for April 16 every day for over a month and can't believe I actually got reservations for all 8 of us. I was beginning to think there was no party that day then all of a sudden.... there it was! Finally! :-) :woohoo:
 
We did the before dessert party (HEA garden viewing) on 4/12/19. We checked in around 7:30 and were escorted to a table up the ramp. The castmember placed a "reserved" sign on our table, gave us wrist bands, and explained what desserts were available and suggested that we head over to the garden area around 8:30/8:45. Overall, the desserts were 'ho-hum' I found the selection very limited. I was hoping there would be macaroons, but there weren't. There were cupcakes, chocolate push pops, giant chocolate covered strawberrings, cheese cakes, brownies, ooeygooey sticky cake, a smore station and a create your own cookie/brownie station. They had a great selection of fresh fruit, cheese and crackers. They had sparkling apple sider, coffee, tea, juices, and tap water. I asked for bottled water and was told they didn't have any. They also had cheesburger rolls. My kids (10 and 6) loved the dessert offerings as did my husband. I believe we headed over to the garden area around 8:30 and noticed they were putting away the desserts at that time too. When we were ready to head over, a castmember escorted us to the garden area and another castmember in the garden area opened the rope to let us in. There was plenty of room in the garden viewing area. We sat down on the 'grass' and relaxed before the fireworks started. Everyone stood up when the fireworks started. We had no problem viewing the projections or fireworks, although I did pick up my six year old. We stood towards the very back rail so my father in law could lean against it. For me, having the space in the garden area was worth it. Main street was packed. People were shoulder to shoulder standing. Having a dessert party booked allowed us to have time to do more rides, enjoy some treats, and still know that we would have a great viewing location. For our family the cost was worth it and we would do it again. We also sat in the garden area for a while to let the park clear out a bit. We did the Star Wars dessert party in 2016 (so I'm not sure how that has changed) but I found that dessert party had way more food offerings, alcoholic drinks for adults, and overall better theming. If you are not a 'stand shoulder to should' crowd person or just like the luxury of elbow room, I believe the dessert party is 'worth it.' If you want good desserts, but don't care about personal space - then this isn't for you.
 
We went last night. It was far more crowded than when we went during this time a few years ago.

As the fireworks started everyone stood up and moved forward. My 9 yo couldn’t see the castle so we moved as far back as possible, against the rail and she sat up on it. She saw most of it then. There was a man with a child on his shoulders in front of us several feet, so we missed that part of the castle. We couldn’t move anywhere else against the railing as others were already against it.

The desserts were ok, with the exception of the s’mores, which were amazing, as warm toasty chocolatey s’mores are!

Did either of you take any pictures that you'd be willing to share? We'll be doing this next month and I'm super excited!

I was so focused on my kids and enjoying the whole experience I didn’t take any photos of the actual dessert party! The photos I do have have my kids in them and we don’t post their photos. If I can figure out a way to block their faces and post I will. I do have to say that many of the photos I saw on this thread were pretty much what the garden area looked like for us. I felt that the actual ‘dessert part’ was less than what I’ve seen posted. When people ask what we did over break my kids say ‘we went to a dessert party and the beach’. That about sums it up. ❤️
 
Hi all! I have a question, despite trying to hunt down the answer. If you've booked the Tomorrowland Terrace dessert party, can you stay at your tables for 'Once Upon a Time' too if it happens 45 minutes later? I wasn't sure if the after-party would require us to move. TIA!
 
Thumbs up for the After HEA Dessert party—had a great view and the food after was great! Also had a photopass photog there to take your pic! CM’s were fantastic!
