Hey there, Sandy!
Welcome to planDisney!
Celebration at the Top - Sip, Savor, Sparkle is one of my favorite experiences at The Most Magical Place on Earth. I have attended this event a few times, and getting that reservation can sometimes mean waiting well past your 60-day booking window! Here are my tips for securing a spot at the top, as well as what to expect when you arrive.
Sandy, while
most dining and recreation reservations open up exactly 60 days in advance, from time to time, a few may have a bit of a delay. This does not necessarily mean the event is a no-go, so don't give up on your dream! The first time I booked this experience was for a girls' trip, and we both found ourselves
checking the My Disney Experience app multiple times a day, for weeks. About two weeks before our trip, we were convinced it just wasn't meant to be. And then the very next day, reservations were available for the entire month! I encourage you to
keep checking, even when you are a few days out. While there is no guarantee this event will take place during your trip, I will say that each time I have booked this
Enchanting Extra, reservations opened well past 60 days. I know taking time to search each day may seem like a bummer, but I promise this evening is worth it!
If you are able to secure a spot, be sure to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your reservation start time. You will check in at the California Grill desk. Guests are taken up to the event by elevator, and are able to choose their own table. Pro tip: While there is plenty of seating for all, if you prefer a table by the window, plan on arriving even earlier. You will find that Guests start to line up 30 minutes or more before the official start time. If a window seat is not a must, there is no need to be super early! When entering the event, you will pick up your name card for your table, receive a welcome cocktail, and choose your seats. Then you are free to head to the bar or straight for the food! Small plates are replenished throughout the night, and a full dessert buffet is set up after the evening fireworks. So be sure to save room!
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you'll be ready to sparkle real soon!
