I'm sure they've taken the fireworks and parades off the FP+ so they can find some way to charge you for the same service instead. People clearly like it, so why keep giving it away for free as a FP+? You can stand on the VIP astro-turf section and watch the 15 minute fireworks for $150 per person, that only $10 a minute, plus maybe you get a Mickey Ice Cream bar or something... that's a deal right?

Don't want to say I told you so but....

AFAIK, only the Wishes Fast Passes were taken away (as of April 19th). Fast Passes are still available into June for Festival of Fantasy and Main Street Electrical Parade. (Of course, the site appears to be down right now, so something may be changing. Rivers of Light perhaps?)
I will say one thing about the Fast Passes for Wishes and the Electrical Parade. As a father of two (2 and 6), the loss of the 4th fast pass is not a big deal. Keep in mind that we limit our sessions in the parks to 3-4 hours at a time (with a several hour break in the middle) and utilize crowd calendars and line apps to maximize short lines in the mornings and evenings. We would also book the Electrical Parade and Wishes on the same day so that we would only lose one day of extra fast passes. It certainly depends on your situation, but those fast passes are worth it to us.

↩ replying to JeffxzMust be for another upcharge for gullible guests. We did the dining package for the first time we watched Fantasmic! After that, we just got in line early...for the later show. I agree with many posters - it's nuts to waste a FP+ on a parade or fireworks show. So said the person whose done it just once for Wishes and FoF; mainly for a first timer traveling with us. But won't again.

So what restaurant would have the wishes bonus? Cinderella or beauty and the beast?

↩ replying to zero creativityI'd say more likely it'll be a replacement for EMH. Hotel guests get the perk, everyone else can go fly a kite.

↩ replying to roj2323I was going to write exactly that. They are probably just lining up some hightop tables and Champaign glasses. Easily charge $80pp. :(

My guess is the Fast Pass viewing areas will become a Wishes ticketed event such as a dessert party.

↩ replying to BrianVThis was my thought too....I wonder if they will move the dessert party to one of these areas? The view would be much better than Tomorrowland. It would be fugly while they set it up and the Tomorrowland Terrace definitely lends itself more to food prep than the middle of the hub, but that's one way to not waste the crap-ton of cash they just dropped on all of that astroturf.

But to be surrounded by the commoners still squeezed in like sardines, jealously eyeing you over the fence...

↩ replying to BlairnicolAt least the tomorrow land terrace is covered in case of rain. When it was cheaper I loved it because you weren't committing to standing out in the rain.
But at the new price ill never go again.

What makes anyone think desserts would be part of the mix?
Why wouldn't they just charge the $80 for access to the premium space?
Would make more cash and we all know people would still pay!

Well it seems we have a reason for this now.
Get your $59 same day dessert party reservation for wishes and view from the Plaza gardens.
