This hasn't been my experience, but I'm 6'8''.
Can I sit on your shoulders next time? I run about 210 but promise to stay very still!

So is there any hope of actually being able to book for the week of July 4th? Or do they get reserved in the first minute or so that they go live?
Also, does anyone know if Disney charges more for the parties on those nights?

No, Disney doesn’t charge more on special nights like that.
The Tomorrowland Terrace version is always subject to selling out quickly because it has a very small headcount.
The Plaza Garden one has a lot more capacity so is not prone to selling out ASAP. Times like 7/4 are likely going to put more ‘pressure’ to book early - but it’s not going to be a “sell out in a day” type of situation, generally speaking. I personally wouldn’t stress too much, just pay attention to when booking becomes available.
Just thinking back to NYE, there was availability even really close to those days, if not day of.
Thank you so much, very helpful.
Hopefully not too far off topic - but do you know if they show HEA on the 3rd and 4th of July? Or is it an entirely different show?
I thought I'd put this in here instead of starting a new thread, hope it's somewhat on-topic!
Thanks to the Touringplans reservation finder I've snagged an ADR at BOG for 6:20... but will that be enough time to get us to the dessert party by 7:45?
Not that I've booked the party yet... still waiting for June to open...
Not at all. The space is large. And with the sight lines to the huge castle and fireworks canvas, no problem viewing it all from the back. Best views.Don’t you chance a bunch of people standing in direct view of you, esp the really tall ones?
Has anyone done the Terrace Seating party as a solo traveler. I am planning my first solo trip. I have never done a dessert party before as DD was never interested. I am trying to add some different things in to this trip.
guys. just tried to check summer availability and i can't even find it now? is it gone? i know dates only went out to may 28th for months now.
This is what the whole thing is for, all of us waiting for this to come available so we can let others know. Some of us have been waiting over a month to just get the first or second week in June, the dates have not changed in months.guys. just tried to check summer availability and i can't even find it now? is it gone? i know dates only went out to may 28th for months now.

Do you think they aren’t posting past the May dates yet due to a price increase? I sure hope not.
That’s a tough call. In the Plaza Garden, sometimes you get lucky and people stay seated but most of the time everyone stands. If standing, you’re more than likely going to need to pick her up so she can see.
When we took DD then 2 last summer, we sat at the back rail so I had something to ‘lean’ on and picked her up. It was fine, we weren’t blocking anyone, she could see, etc. Cons are I had to hold her for 18 minutes, and it was like 90 degrees and 100% humidity.
We did really enjoy having the grassy space to ‘run around’ before the show and let the kids get the wiggles out. It kept them busy until show time.
But if you’re at all concerned, go with the seated version. The angle is not as good and your view of the castle projections is generally inferior, but it can still be a good show from there too.
Personally, I’d go with the Plaza - but I could ultimately go either way.
Hope that helps!
