We checked in at the podium about an hour before "Wishes" was scheduled to begin. We were greeted and then escorted to our own private table set up on the terrace with a perfect view of the castle. Our table was decorated with mickey confetti and even had a little sign welcoming us with our names printed on it. Our delightful server Michelle invited us at our leisure to help ourselves to the dessert buffet and to 'eat our fill'.
When my boys saw this buffet, their eyes became as large as saucers as they saw a huge table filled with so many wonderful and delightful finger desserts. They were all arranged beautifully on the buffet . The buffet was covered with; chocolate covered strawberries, rice krispie treats , pistachio creme brulee, banana cream tartlets, mini key lime pies, cannolis, mini cupcakes, and white chocolate and milk chocolate cheesecake. There was also coffee, juice, ice tea, hot tea, milk and water available at the beverage station.
The plates they give you just aren't big enough to try them all, so return trips to the buffet are required. As our family devoured these wonderful desserts we had a nice view of the "Spectromagic" parade moving down Mainstreet. They had a Photopass photographer set up on the terrace that was taking pictures of groups and families in front of the castle.
When it was time for "Wishes" to begin, the lights dimmed and we turned our chairs toward the castle and had one of the most wonderful views of the "Wishes" show. At one point during the fireworks, Tinkerbell flies from the castle and comes directly toward the Terrace, I think we thought she was going to land in our laps!
After the firework show we were not rushed off of the terrace and into the throngs of departing guests. Rather we were encouraged to hang out and enjoy the nice views of the castle, finish up our desserts and take some more pictures. The perfect ending to a magical day at Walt Disney World.
This was one of those experiences that my family has not forgotten, we talk about it often and know for sure that we will be enjoying this experience again on our next trip to the Magic Kingdom.Wishes Dessert Party Information:

Thanks so much for sharing this Jeff. I did the Epcot dessert party on an AEP last month and enjoyed it. Now you made me want to do this with my boys in May.
