Hello Mary!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! You are definitely going to love the
Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party. Not only will you have a hassle-free view of Celebrate the Magic and Wishes, you will also enjoy an amazing buffet of assorted desserts.
Starting in December of this year, all dessert party reservations are in the 6:00 p.m. hour. However, no matter the time of your reservation, you should plan on arriving at least one hour prior to Wishes. We like to arrive approximately one hour and fifteen minutes early so we can take our time and truly enjoy the relaxing nature of the event before Celebrate the Magic and Wishes begin.
I completely agree with your plan to not make an Advanced Dining Reservation for dinner. You will want to come to the dessert party with an empty stomach!
I hope this helps with your planning. If you have any more questions regarding the dessert party or any other aspect of your Walt Disney World vacation please come back and see me.
Wishing you a
*MAGICAL* vacation and a pixie-dusted day!
