It's a plate of items. There's cheese, grapes, crackers, a mini bundt cake, a fancy cookie, a frosted Mickey rice krispie and I think a macaroon. Everything was delicious! You also get drinks.I'm pondering doing this in August. Is it like the dessert parties in WDW where you go through a buffet line and select things or is it a set plate of things?

I know what you mean. I remember years ago there was a Fantasmic dessert buffet that looked amazing. I loved the food at the dessert party, but buffets are always my favorite lol.Thanks. I may skip it then. I much prefer the ability to select what I want.
I think this is very important for anyone with WDW dessert party experience to understand. The view is what you pay for not the comfort of space or unlimited dessert and food like WDW.Not sure how big your party is, but another issue is that solo travelers or couples are typically sat with others...it's shared seating. While we enjoyed our view of the show and the seat, we were sat with another couple who was not aware it was shared. They were not happy and it made the situation very awkward.
I agree regarding the seating. I find it strange that they make that very important piece of information so buried. DH and I both also struggle with social anxiety, but we at least knew what we were potentially getting into. I cant imagine the reverse. Not blaming the unhappy people at all. I get it, but it was just awkward. I felt for them as well.I think this is very important for anyone with WDW dessert party experience to understand.

Though I hate they bury the lead about the shared seating (I was one of the unhappy people, quite a bit of social anxiety, but I wasn’t the one that made it awkward for you I promise) far down in the page and wasn’t my prior experience with this party when the tables were more spaced.
The thing I like with the buffet is you get to choose what you want. Want more cheese and less cake? No problem. Want more chocolate covered strawberries and zero melon? No problem. The time I went at WDW there was never really a fight for the line as people arrived kind of spread out.I would much rather get the pre-plated set of items than have to waste time fighting through a buffet line, and don't mind sharing a table with other people, but my disappointment was the "one drink per guest" policy. At that price point, I expect a refill or two.
Really, you only got one drink? I thought it was two "adult" beverages and unlimited non-alcoholic. I did it when it was first available, maybe 8 years ago and I got two very weak drinks, water and I think a hot chocolate.I would much rather get the pre-plated set of items than have to waste time fighting through a buffet line, and don't mind sharing a table with other people, but my disappointment was the "one drink per guest" policy.

Wow. It was definitely two alcoholic beverages when we went last April (2022). One is just really cheap for what you’re paying.It appears that they've silently dropped it from 2 alcoholic beverages to 1 while retaining the same $89 price point. Previous blog posts and YouTube reviews clearly mentioned 2 included alcoholic beverages while the today the official site references a singular beverage: "An alcoholic beverage for adults, age 21 and older."
Does anyone know when this change was made? I'm unable to load the page with the Wayback Machine to see when it may have been modified.
that’s crazy I just reread the description on the website and indeed it says “an alcoholic beverage per adult…” that definitely sounds like a policy change…It appears that they've silently dropped it from 2 alcoholic beverages to 1 while retaining the same $89 price point.

It's definitely recent but I don't know when. I agree, I definitely think the wording has changed.It appears that they've silently dropped it from 2 alcoholic beverages to 1 while retaining the same $89 price point.

I am pretty certain it said 2 when I booked this about 3 weeks ago.that’s crazy I just reread the description on the website and indeed it says “an alcoholic beverage per adult…” that definitely sounds like a policy change…
I can’t believe it!
I could swear a couple days ago it still said 2 per person… I booked it just a couple days ago and reread everything. I must have skipped that part or it did actually change in the last 1-2 weeks…
This is a little downer for me. I was telling my parents all about the 2 drinks and unlimited rest and now I have to break the news that Disney silently changed it…
I really don’t like that they didn’t properly announce it or make the change more obvious and noticeable.
When I booked for June it wasn’t singular. I will be curious if they honor that based on booking or if they have changed this past week to only serving one.I am pretty certain it said 2 when I booked this about 3 weeks ago.
