Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I am seriously disgruntled about this but sharing it anyway. I haven’t seen this in my emails elsewhere yet but with pricing and a place to call I imagine it will be along shorty https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/disney-announces-new-years-eve-fort-wilderness-beach-dessert-party/ Walt Disney World has just announced a new way for guests to ring in the new year from Clementine’s Beach at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground – a new dessert party serving up delectable sweets and specialty beverages with beautiful views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the fireworks spectacular from Magic Kingdom Park.

Travisma 1,317 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Was just getting ready to post this... you beat me to it. I would hope that they would close off a portion at the far end near River Country/fishing excursion boats like they did that 4th of July for the private party. If they restrict access to the entire beach, they will have a major uprising on their hands and would need more than Park Rangers to quell a riot situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If not they will definitely need riot police and have a major problem on their hands. More ore likely though they will shove us down there and give the paying guests the best views.

Travisma 1,317 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 One thing I noticed, is either a typo or something else.... beautiful views of the Seven Seas Lagoon. Clementine Beach is on Bay Lake. It's pretty hard to see Seven Seas from there even during the day. Katman1356...Jason and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slices 16 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wasn't there a special event at Backyard BBQ last year, I guess it makes sense that they would offer an alternative given that is closing. Looks like the soonest I could even consider being at the Fort over NYE is 2020, so goodness knows what they will charge for by then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clementine Beach is on Bay Lake. It's pretty hard to see Seven Seas from there even during the day. Hah! Good catch. Private parties are usually on the far end of the beach but it's true you don't get much of a view from there. They can't block off access to the dock (can they?), but they could potentially rope off the area immediately around it - and you're right, there would be an uprising. Maybe they'll setup on the right side, behind the marina building. Kind of out of the way so that you're not blocking out Fort guests, plenty of space, and good views for fireworks.

We discussed it on this thread: Last year, it was $95 for four hours which included a buffet and live music. This year it's $99 for 2 1/2 hours and AYCE cupcakes. Wow.

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I asked through the travel agent portal for any details on where on the beach or if it was all. They ignored me the first time so I asked again. and again. Finally I got this back in return which of course tells us nothing. Greetings - This event will take place on Clementine's Beach at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. No further details regarding the specific area of the beach used for this event is available at this time. Thank you and have a Magical day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Most private parties have never taken over the entire beach area, the dock seating has remained open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They must either be lawyers or former government officials where everything is in the grey area and a lot of doublespeak. How do you plan something, make the announcement and not release the details? especially to people that are supposed to be bringing in business to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing they are looking at how many tickets they sell, what the weather is like, etc., before they decide what area of the beach to take over. If weather is bad, the actual party will be at the backyard barbecue pavilion and they put some EZ-Ups on the beach for the actual fireworks. Only sell a few tickets, they make a small area. Way oversell, and they take over a larger area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
