Hi Kevin!
Congratulations on your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World! My family has done several of the dessert parties, so I would be happy to give you some insight into which one may be best for your family.
The
Fireworks Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace at Magic Kingdom is absolutely wonderful because you can enjoy the desserts while watching Wishes. The view is amazing, as you will be seated at the Tomorrowland Terrace, and you will get to see the fireworks explode over Cinderella Castle. When we went, their desserts included mini cheesecakes, cupcakes, key lime tarts, fresh fruit, cheese and a wide variety of drinks, including the best hot chocolate I've ever had! You can book in advance by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
I also enjoyed the
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party at Disney's Hollywood Studios. I loved the Darth Vader cupcake. The seating for this party is in Star Wars Launch Bay, then 15 minutes before the show you will be escorted to the VIP section for the show. I wish that you could eat the desserts while watching the fireworks like at Magic Kingdom, but it's great spot to see the show.
We also really loved the
IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party. The desserts include treats from around the world, like baklava and cannoli. This is inside the World Showcase Plaza. Similar to the Star Wars dessert party, you will be escorted to the VIP section 15 minutes before the show.
I personally love the dessert party at Magic Kingdom the best, but I hope this information gives you what you need to decide!
Magically,
Stacy
