World of Color Dessert Party reservations and alerts

Dessert with a view of the water

The party puts you at a table in the preferred viewing area for World of Color, the nighttime water and light show over Paradise Bay.

The spread mixes sweets with savory small bites such as charcuterie and cheese, plus drinks, and you help yourself while you wait for the show.

Seating is communal, at standard tables or high-tops, so smaller groups may share with another party.

Everyone in your party needs a package to enter the viewing area, including anyone who does not plan to eat.

Dessert party or dining package?

The dining packages at Wine Country Trattoria and Storytellers Cafe pair a full restaurant meal with a place to watch.

The dessert party skips the restaurant: Your booking is the viewing area itself, with the food served there. If the show matters more than dinner, it is usually the better fit.

How the evening runs

Your reservation time is for the party, not the show. The performance follows about 45 minutes later and may be the first, second or only one of the night.

You check in on your phone, then text messages tell you which entrance to use and when your table is ready.

Admission and a park reservation for Disney California Adventure on the same day are required and are not part of the price.

When a sold-out night opens up

Canceling later than a day ahead costs a per-person fee, so changed plans usually come back at least a day before the party.

Watching several nights at once gives an alert far more chances than holding out for a single date.

Park Drop watches every date you choose and sends an email and text the moment a seat opens for your party size.
