This past October Adam and I had a rare chance to take part in the
Wishes Fireworks Dessert Party at the Magic Kingdom. This party was always very low on our priority list, but heck, we have to do everything at least once. You know, for "research."
The dessert party is reservation only, so make sure you're on the phone AT MIDNIGHT getting your reservation 180 days out...otherwise you're out of luck. However, if you managed to snag a spot, make your way over to the
Tomorrowland Terrace an hour prior to
Wishes! starting. There you will check in, have a sparkling cider toast, and be seated. At one point the dessert party was open seating, but tables are now assigned. Don't fret if your table is toward the back (as ours was...) there is ample room along the terrace wall to view the fireworks. In fact, you can stroll up to the wall DURING the fireworks and still have plenty of room.
The main attraction here is food. Yes, there is a spectacular and unique view of Wishes! However, you can see Wishes! from just about anywhere in the park...or outside of the park for that matter. What you're paying for here is unlimited snacks, and a very convenient viewing location. Plus, its nice to have a table and chairs after a long day of touring.
The food is displayed buffet style, at the end of the terrace. This being a "dessert party" sweets were obviously the main focus.
