Which Dessert Party?

[MoorMickey]

We’ve booked the pirate party dessert party, but I’m seriously considering cancelling and booking the frozen one after reading about that. Too many to choose...

We've done all the dessert parties and rated them in this order:

1. Star Wars (the cocktails and savoury options just tip this into first place for us, although I wasn't happy about sharing a table when we did it last night and will be having a little moan to disney)
2. The After Desserts party, best seat for the fireworks and a lovely range of desserts, the cheeseburger egg rolls are lovely.
We would probably always do both of these TBH
3. Frozen, we thought the cocktails and desserts were lacking and I definitely didn't get my money's worth as I struggled to find nice desserts, DH did like the little eclairs though.
4. Rivers of Light, haven't bothered with it this year as last was so poor.

Top tip if you do a party pre-fireworks, fill a coffee cup with a cocktail and another with snacks...really fill your boots as I know these are not a cheap do! We were encouraged to do both, in fact, one year the bar man made us a "special" cocktail in a coffee cup after DH tipped him 😊

I would go for happily ever after dessert after party in the plaza gardens personally.

The magic kingdom show is by far the most crowded and you really need to be square on in front of the castle to make the most of the show. This dessert party gets you that view in an uncrowded area without a long long wait. You can relax in the garden before the show..and the fact it’s an after party means you can go off and fill your boots so missing the mass exit from MK which in itself can take longer than an hour!

We did Star Wars last trip. I wouldn’t repeat that one. There’s no seating at the dessert party and the spot for the fireworks, whilst great, can be accessed relatively easily just before the show.

I’ve never done frozen simply because you can get a great view of the Epcot show from so many places in world showcase, I’ve never felt the need to pay for premium viewing.

I’ve also done pirates and Pals firework voyage which was fantastic, but an event rather than a dessert party and given you won’t see the castle projections from the boat not something I’d choose as my only firework viewing opportunity

We did Star Wars on the 18th and there was seating, when we did it a few years ago there wasn't though. I agree with your viewing point for Happily Ever After - it does get super crowded! Whereas we found a decent spot for Star Wars about 40 mins prior to the show

This trip we did happily ever after plaza gardens and Star wars dessert parties. Star wars was by far our favourite. The plaza gardens are a perfect view and is what your paying for, but the actual party was lacking in atmosphere, boring and the desserts I felt were uninspiring. Whereas Star wars also had a perfect view but the party had a much better atmosphere, music playing, storm troopers wandering round and interacting. The desserts and drinks were nicer and I felt I got my monies worth.
To say Star wars was my favourite was totally unexpected, as happily ever after is my favourite show and I was really looking forward to the party. I left feeling underwhelmed and slightly ripped off, especially as our previous visit plaza gardens were available via a fast pass.
