Hey there, Katie! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad that you stopped by with your vacation planning question.
I LOVE a fireworks dessert party! I love adding a new
Enchanting Extra to each Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and since the Disney Enchantment dessert parties are all new, I have one of these amazing events on the tippy top of my must-do list. Endless sweet treats, sparkling wine and preferred viewing for Disney Enchantment?! Sign me up! Katie, you and I are in the same boat ... or ... fireworks ferryboat! I, too, have been trying to book one of the
Magic Kingdom 50th Fireworks Dessert Parties or the
Ferrytale Fireworks: A Sparkling Dessert Cruise for my May vacation. Let's chat about how to get
you signed up!
First, start by logging into your
My Disney Experience account and start searching for the dessert parties one by one and click the "Check Availability" button. If your dates are available for selection in blue, and it shows "No Available Times" after you search the dates, the event may be booked up for those dates. However, a Cast Member informed me that if the dates are shown in gray and not available to search, those dates just have not yet been released. The oh-so-helpful Cast Member informed me to keep checking back with the My Disney Experience website or app to see when the dates will be released. If you have any trouble making dining reservations or booking special events, like dessert parties, just call (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463.
Whether your dates are showing "No Available Times" or they have not been released for booking yet, I suggest checking for availability often. I have been checking for availability morning, noon and night. Like our favorite little French chef, Remy, said, "Change is nature," and people's vacation plans are changing all of the time. So, check back often for openings, even up to the day of the event!
Since you and I seem to have the same (sweet) taste in
Enchanting Extras, did you know that you can book a
Beachcomber Shack at
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park?! I just booked one for our upcoming May vacation, and I'm so excited to have some privacy, shade, comfy seating, towels, endless cold water, an adorable refillable "mug" and an attendant to make sure that all of our needs are met while we relax between splashing! To book one of these fabulous retreats in the middle of the magic, call (407) WDW-PLAY or (407) 939-7529. I got to spend time in one of these amazing Shacks when recording the first-ever episode of the planDisney Podcast, where my planDisney panelist pals and I discussed all things Spring Break and Typhoon Lagoon! I'll link the episode below so you can watch or listen at your leisure. I hope that you find the tips and tricks super helpful for your upcoming spring vacation!
Katie, I hope this was helpful, and I hope to see you at one (or all!) of the fabulous dessert parties in May! Have the sweetest time! Please stop by any time with any vacation planning questions you may have. You've got a friend in me!
I hope to see ya real soon,
Mandy
