Sweet Options: Comparing the Four Dessert Parties at Magic Kingdom

June 28, 2023

Guests looking to enjoy a dessert party along with Happily Ever After now have 4 different dessert parties to choose from

As the sun sets over the enchanting Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, guests are treated to the captivating night-time spectacular “Happily Ever After.” To enhance this already magical experience, Disney offers several exclusive dessert party options that provide prime viewing spots and delectable treats. Guests new to Walt Disney World or the dessert parties may find choosing between them a bit daunting. In this post, we will compare and contrast the fireworks dessert party options at Magic Kingdom, exploring the unique features, benefits, pricing, and their connection to the mesmerizing “Happily Ever After” fireworks show.

Ferrytale Wishes Dessert Cruise ($130 for adults, $100 for children ages 3 to 9)

Returning soon after being closed for refurbishment, the Ferrytale Wishes Dessert Cruise is a delightful option for those seeking a truly enchanting experience on the water. Setting sail aboard one of Disney’s iconic ferryboats, guests can indulge in a variety of delectable treats while enjoying breathtaking views of Cinderella Castle and the mesmerizing “Happily Ever After” fireworks show. The buffet options include an assortment of international cheeses and snacks handcrafted by Disney’s talented pastry team, which are accompanied by a selection of specialty drinks, including alcoholic options for guests aged 21 and older. Priced at $130 for adults and $100 for children ages 3 to 9 (tax and gratuity included), this cruise offers a unique perspective, combining delicious treats, a leisurely boat ride, and a front-row seat to the nighttime spectacular.

Fireworks Dessert Pre-Party ($99 per adult, $59 per child ages 3 to 9)

For those who prefer a more traditional setting in front of Cinderella Castle, the Fireworks Dessert Pre-Party may be the choice for you. The party starts at Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant, where guests enjoy a private buffet filled with a wide array of tempting treats such as chocolate-dipped strawberries and chocolate silk tarts, a variety of cheeses, and refreshing beverages, including an assortment of beer and wine for Guests ages 21 and over

After enjoying the snacks, guests are escorted to a private viewing area in front of Cinderella Castle to enjoy the fireworks. Priced at $99 per adult and $59 per child ages 3 to 9 (tax included), this pre-party option provides an excellent vantage point for the “Happily Ever After” fireworks show, as guests can take in the spectacle from a prime, reserved viewing area.

Fireworks Dessert After-Party ($99 per adult, $59 per child ages 3 to 9)

The After-Party is similar to the Pre-Party, with the notable exception being guests enjoy the buffet after ‘Happily Ever After’ rather than before. The selection of desserts and viewing location is the same, as is the price, so the only choice you need to make to decide between the two is if you would prefer to enjoy the dessert buffet before or after watching ‘Happily Ever After’.

Seats and Treats Dessert Party at Tomorrowland Terrace ($114 per adult, $69 per child ages 3 to 9)

Guests looking to enjoy the dessert party and fireworks from a chair rather than a spot on the plaza may want to consider the Seats and Treats Dessert Party. Like the Pre-Party and Post-Party, Seats and Treats affords guests access to a buffet at Tomorrowland Terrace featuring international cheeses, delicious snacks, and a selection of specialty drinks (including alcoholic options for guests aged 21 and older). Unlike the Pre-Party and Post-Party, guests will have access to the buffet throughout the duration of the fireworks since the viewing area takes place within Tomorrowland Terrace. The view is from a bit of an angle, rather than head-on like with the Pre-Party and Post-Party, however, the fact you can sit in a chair rather than on the ground for ‘Happily Ever After’ may make this trade-off worth it for many guests.

Whether you prefer a magical cruise on the water, a comfortable seated setting, or a pre or post-fireworks dessert celebration with head-on viewing from the castle garden area, Disney has choices for just about everyone. Regardless of the option chosen, you can expect an evening filled with mouthwatering desserts, prime viewing locations, and the enchantment of the mesmerizing “Happily Ever After” fireworks show.
