It has been very popular. It's been taking place every night except during the Holiday season for a couple of years. Up until about 6 months ago, it was selling out every night. Attendance has tapered off somewhat, but still not bad.
That's interesting. Is the seating not greatly reducing the capacity then? Or are a lot of reservations made closer to the party date?
The max capacity will be reduced, but coincidentally it matches what the attendance has been lately. Having said that, and IMO, the max capacity is too optimistic, but not having seen the setup, I'll reserve judgement until I see it, which might be on the first night.
The more annoying, the better.
The dessert parties are a tiny percentage of the number of events that Park Event Operations (PEO) puts on. It's a huge operation. There are hundreds and hundreds of "Event Guides". The catering staff is huge. They even have their own fleet of trucks that deliver equipment and food to the events at Epcot, AK and DHS. I think you'd be impressed at the shear size of the operation.
If Disney offered a backstage tour where you got to see all of this I would absolutely pay for it and probably love it. We operate out of a kitchen that can only barely be called "restaurant certified" and have a part-time cook. If I had done something like the DCP I would have wanted to work in that department.
Thank you for replying that’s good to know. I’ll keep a sharp eye out for it.
as previous poster said, right now it's only bookable through the end f August. They only release and open up reservations a couple of months in advance. The party will most likely take place until the first week in November when JBJB replaces SWaGS. If previous years are any indication the SWaGS show and dessert party will come back for the last 2 weeks of December.
What, and not once did we say hi to each other.
The TIE Fighters are long gone and the staff is very happy that they are.
We did it back in March 2016, soon after it started and it was still all outside with the old fireworks show. We did it again in July 2016 and then in July 2017. I actually saw someone in July 2017 that I thought might be you, so I asked if he was Fastpasser. I got the strangest look
If you are still working the week before Thanksgiving, I'll stalk you
Really? You looked awfully pleased when you were handing them out last August.
Ahh, one of my favorite parties.I think we went before you started posting on this thread, so before we knew you
Hmm, makes me wonder how I'm pictured.
Other CMs would not know that name.
Probably not.
That was me! Glad your phone CM had a better idea of what they were talking about.
