Any rumors of a dessert party being announced for Epcot anytime soon?
Still not seeing any EPCOT Dessert Parties for Dec dates I have access too.... must not have loaded them yet. Hopefully now that the big Oct 1 Celebration is behind them, they can get on with this. (Tapping my foot...)
And neither of them are open for Dec dates yet.... I'm well within my 60+10 days.... should have been able to book these. Friend is hoping also for a Frozen party but that's not even on the lists of Enchanted Extras.... sigh. Not real speedy with these...It seems like they would have announced a Harmonious dessert party when they announced them for MK...for the 50th and kick off of the new show! So far all I've seen are the FW dining packages at SRT and R&C.

Same. It's frustrating.And neither of them are open for Dec dates yet.... I'm well within my 60+10 days.... should have been able to book these. Friend is hoping also for a Frozen party but that's not even on the lists of Enchanted Extras.... sigh. Not real speedy with these...
I see we no longer choose where we can sit. I will be unhappy beans if I pay that much to be stuck far under the roof.Not sure if anyone has seen this - but Disney Food Blog has photos and videos of the Dessert Party in MK - both the seated one and the after party. https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021...magic-kingdoms-new-fireworks-dessert-parties/

Good to know! Hopefully we'll get a good table.We have always been directed to assigned tables. First time we did this was March 2015 and they seated us. The plus then was when the fireworks started everyone got up and stood at the rail so it wasn't as big an issue.
Subsequently I asked how they are assigned and was told in order of booking. The assigned seating and staying seated is why we have only booked Terrace viewing now.

We're disappointed by the food selection this time, but I think we're going to just be grateful to be out of the crowds at this point. Roll with the punches this trip.
Same. I know it's a dessert party, but they used to have a few more savory options. Cheese and crackers is pretty lame. They also got rid of the ice cream bar and the cupcake (or was it cookies?) decorating station. At this point I'm TBD on our November reservation. I'd like to hear some reviews from those who don't get the "ideal" seats along the railing too.I feel same, those desserts look very underwhelming. Seems like three are different versions of pudding in a cup. and a plate of cheese ? I hope they at least throw in some cookies or a cupcake .I agree with others, sadly I may be cancelling my reservations.
Agreed! Especially about the savory and warmed options. I had two parties (Seats and Treats) as well and dropped it down to one I figured for the price of this and my anticipated Celebration at the Top, we could almost pay for Discovery Cove for the day (Dolphin Swim version) so that's what I've reserved instead. Better value for our money imo.I was shocked there wasn't any more savory snacks ! While I hadn't needed a full meal, I was hoping for something that allowed me to eat a late lunch - and use the snacks as a light dinner. But this is SO much sugar without enough balance (yes, I know it's a dessert party - but past dessert parties had several savory choices)
(For comparisons - here's Disney Food Blog's 2020 Review of HEA Party VS Disney Food Blog's Review of Enchantment After Party)
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seems as if none of the food needs to be kept warm in this version of the dessert party which probably means less equipment and maybe even fewer staff. I have the party twice on my next trip, but this is definitely making me think of dropping one of those.
