Deja-Vu, same answer as for the FEA party. Guests are allowed into the party area 15 minutes before the advertised start time and tables are preassigned and reserved. BTW, you may see and interact with the same party staff at both parties.My check in time for the dessert party on 8/15 is listed at 8:30. What time should I get in line? If it matters, yes, my group will want to do the character visit.

I booked this dessert party for September but it’s not showing up in my plans on My Disney Experience App. Kindly confirm whether that’s normal. I want to make sure nothing is wrong. Thanks so much.

@FastPasser. I assume you are talking about something different than this, yes?:

This is the article I was referencing when I originally asked about it:

THANK YOU!! It’s showing!My August reservation appears in the MDE app and online. It’s categorized as dining reservation. I’d give it a day or two and refresh or reinstall.
Can you speak to how crowded the dessert party is now as compared to prior to changes, and where the seating is, exactly? Trying to decide whether to try this again after a long hiatus.Just a heads up that because seating has been added, and although the party area has increased, the number of guests able to attend has been reduced by 25%. Because of this, the party has been sold out every night I've been there, so be vigilant if it's an event you want to do.
The description on the website has not been updated to reflect the changes, but when it is, I believe that the party will be even more popular.
Because they use about half of the Cantina and took over some additional space where the steps are located, plus the reduced attendance, I think it's about the same as it was.Can you speak to how crowded the dessert party is now as compared to prior to changes, and where the seating is, exactly?
YesAm I correct in assuming the viewing area is the same?
Thanks! So just to make sure I TOTALLY understand... no difference in how crowded the dessert party feels? It's really just the addition of seating, then?Because they use about half of the Cantina and took over some additional space where the steps are located, plus the reduced attendance, I think it's about the same as it was.
Yes
Overall it seems to be the same, not that there was a lot of room before, but IMO, it feels about the same. I'm usually one of the CMs that has to walk between tables to give Guests the heads-up about when to meet up for the escort and I manage ok.no difference in how crowded the dessert party feels?
Seating, more space, fewer people and different layout.It's really just the addition of seating, then?
