Are the Wishes Dessert Parties that popular?

I just got off the phone trying to book the party for October 10, and was told it was already full! How far in advance are these booked?

The lady said I could try going to the podium that day and asking about cancellations. Has anyone tried that? How successful were you?

Yes they are that popular and their booking window will vary quite a bit so when they do become available the spaces go quickly. I would keep trying to book over the phone until you arrive at WDW.

I know that I booked my December trip's reservation in early August, and it sounded like the spaces were limited for my trip.

I also booked my December reservation in July or August as soon as they had extended the parties through the end of the year. I waited too long to book one in May and it was completely booked. I went to Guest Relations every day while we were there to check on openings. No such luck.

That happened to me last year when I went in July. I called at home and tried for any day of the two weeks I was going and it was booked every day. They told me to try when I got there and see if any cancellations and nothing. I was so dissappointed because I really wanted to go with all the great reviews I read about it. Does anyone know if they are going to extend it until next summer?

I can not imagine them not extending it. It is just a matter of when they announce the dates.

I didn't realize that the Dessert party was that popular either. I kept tossing the idea back and forth with my husband about making a reservation...I didn't want us to miss MSEP. I called this morning to check to see if there were any openings while we're there in Dec and the one night we wanted was filled and the other we reserved the last table-as per the Disney Dining operator. She said we only got the reservation because someone had cancelled! :sohappy:
