Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're here!!
I'm loving your report! It's reminding me of all we did! I wish I had the energy for a TR, but my classroom is calling my name and I'm afraid free time should be spent there... And you know.. On Netflix.
It was so great to meet you and your family! Your boys are adorable! I could just see how excited they were.. It makes my heart happy to see kids excited in Disney. Everyone LOVED the dessert party in my family. I thought it was great too, but we had done it previously at the lower price and since I'm the one who shelled out for that, I couldn't help but think about the changes and their worth. Regardless, avoiding those Wishes crowds is worth it in my book and so we'll likely do it again!
I agree about the desserts being light. Great choices. I think my son ate his weight in the fruit, so I was happy with that. My nephew loved the cheese and ice cream. My sister tried everything and enjoyed it all. I apparently didn't have much of an appetite, but enjoyed what I ate.
We had the same issue with being pushed out a bit. There were some little ones next to me giving their grown up a tough time, so we were pushed us out a bit, but overall we still had a fantastic view!
We did Peoplemover after too, but I'm a horrible Diser and have no photographic evidence! I do have this shot taken around 1130 to show that's what time we were on the bus back... Clearly my son was very tired!

We had a blast that night, but we were tired! So glad to have met you! Looking forward to the rest of your TR!
Oh... Side note! We loved Ant-Man too!!
Netflix. Amen, sister.
Ant Man was hilarious!! X goes around calling everything "crazy stupid fine" or whatever it was that Ant Man's friend kept saying over and over when he was in the middle of one of his stories, lol.
I'm glad you enjoyed the dessert party too! It sounds like we had similar experiences with it.
We were all so tired that night...it affects the next morning!
Love all the family selfies!!
I appreciated your review of the dessert party! Some of those desserts sound really good. I love the Wishes pictures, what an awesome view!
Tomorrowland at night is so pretty, great place to end your night!
It was such a great way to end the evening. I was pleased with the way the day went as a whole. The Wishes view at the party was good, the best part was Tinkerbell being so close on her flight!
Tomorrowland is probably my favorite area of the park at night!
Great details about the dessert party! It sounds like you really felt the experience was worth the cost.
Well, we enjoyed it, but to be honest, I had to take the cost out of the equation. I'm not sure it was "worth" the cost, but because we paid for it so long ago, the cost was sort of forgotten (kind of, haha). I'm a cheapskate by nature, but I loosen my grip on the wallet at Disney World. I get no enjoyment of a thing if I sit and think about how much it costs, so I had to focus on the experience itself and make the cost a non-issue.
Is this your first TR? If so, you've managed to pull in quite an audience. 5000+ views in one week? *jealous*
I'll catch up on the updates this weekend. Apparently, this TR is a good one. Keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words. It's not my first TR, I did my first one last year for our August 2014 trip. Maybe my title is just odd enough to pull in clicks, LOL!!
Glad you're still aboard my crazy train!
I keep going back and forth on the Dessert Party. On the one hand, I feel it's worth it for the great viewing area. On the other hand, the price and the fact that I would gorge myself on dessert.
Your fireworks photos are great!
In my opinion, it's worth doing once, to see how you feel. I was able to focus less on the cost because it has to be paid so far in advance. The sting had worn off by the time we were actually there, LOL.
I was pleased with how the fireworks photos came out! I've never managed to take a good one before, so it was one of my most exciting moments. I'm easy to please, haha!!
Thanks for sharing your report! I am so glad you showed the dessert party. We did it in May, and was wondering if the price increase meant anything better. Apparently it does not as far as the dessert/drink selections, as we had the same at the cheaper prices. But, how was the service? Did your table get cleared in a timely manner? We the dessert stations and drink stations kept clean, neat and full? Inquiring minds want to know!
I LOVE the ears. Can you share her instagram account so I can check when she opens her store again? I may need some of those for next year.
Also, I noticed one of the boys has a Jack MB! Did you decorate it like this or is a special purchase band or is a MB skin (and if so where did you get it???) A friend going with us next year is a HUGE NBC fan.
Thanks!

I don't know if there's anything super special about it now compared to the pre-price increase party. Like I've said to others, I just had to forget how much we paid and just stay in the moment. Service was eh. I feel like I wanted someone to come clear our table WAY before they actually did. Everything was kept very clean that I saw, but to be honest, I only went up to the buffet once. My kids went up a couple times, and I had them grab things for me. I just asked DH just now, and he said they took good care of the buffet area, and it looked nice every time he saw it. The drink tables included.
The instagram account for my ear girl is EarBowtique. She's amazing.
And the magic bands I did myself! I did an entry on my pre-trip report for each band, but the link specific to the Jack band is
HERE
Thanks for following!!
Glad you enjoyed the dessert party! We did it back in 2012. Lol about being able to leave your hair down almost all night! A couple mornings last Aug. I actually dared leaving the room with mine down-and made it to the park entrance before putting it up
. I felt it expanding the entire walk to the bus stop/bus ride and just decided the heck with it!
My boys LOVE Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor
I do too, the first time we do it each trip. By the 3rd time I'm kind of over it lol but for whatever reason it's one of their favorites and a must to repeat on each trip.
I did the EXACT same thing with my hair last August!! I tried, and I failed. Being able to keep it down this night was like winning the lottery! I was able to leave it down on the night of our 'Ohana dinner and my solo visit to the MK, too. It was thrilling!!
Most of the time while we're there I don't even try to look any kind of attractive. Too much work, LOL!!
Great Update! Looks like so much fun and the dessert party looks so yummy. Great fireworks pics
Thank you!! The desserts were good! I don't know why that plain vanilla thing was so good, but it really, really was!
