This will be a recap of the Jingle Bell Jingle Bam dessert party. I do have two pictures but they are terrible. This is the third dessert party we attended and surprisingly all have been at DHS. The first was back when Frozen was all the rage. We did the Frozen Dessert Party for the fireworks. I did love it because i am a Frozen fan. However It is interested how the party has evolved. For Frozen it was all standing high top tables. No assigned seats. I don't think they had alcoholic beverages but maybe they did. If so it would have been the two drinks that are basically fruit juice with Rum or Vodka added to it. Of course Coke products and bottles of Dasani. The desserts were good but pretty normal. Mini cupcakes is what i remember as they were my favorite. I love a chocolate cupcake with butter cream frosting. This party was in Sep 2014.
The next party we did was for the end of The Osbourn Spectacle of Dancing lights. This was in Dec 2015. Here we moved to having tables you could sit at first come first serve. More desserts i thought than at Frozen, but still all desserts. They were good but i don't remember having anything extremely awesome but it was 2 years ago. They did have alcoholic drinks, it was again maybe 4 different drinks things like hot apple cider spiked with something, baily's and something else, also had coke products and dasani. The sweet drinks, that are really not my favorite. I did enjoy this because you could sit there until the park closed. they did take the buffet of desserts away at some point but i don't remember when. Then with no crowds because we hung for a while we were able to walk through the lights. It was a great way to end it.
Last night was different but i think better. This time it was in front of the Chinese Theater where the hand prints are. The buffet is only open till 7:30, you only have an hour to gorge yourself. They did have good desserts. In fact i liked everything i tried but they had some standouts. The red velvet cake was excellent, for a change the cake was not dry and also a brownie mint thing with ice cream. We even had flash frozen in nitrogen chocolate mousse. it was good. The best thing though was it had savory food. Soft pretzels, pita bread, a cheese fondue, spinach dip and kettle chips. We had dessert first but i went back for seconds on the savory. It may have something to do with a 12 mile run and craving salt but who cares. From a drinks perspective still coke products but no Dasani only bulk water (only thing was i wanted to take water to the show). the better part was the bar. It was not just sickly sweet drinks. They had wine just pinot grigio and cabernet and beer, as well as the sweet drinks. It was nice to get wine. The only problem to me was the table seating. They now assign table numbers which is great so you dont fight for a good table. They all had seats as well, but the tables are small more for 2 people and had 4 there. Also very close together. We were in the middle and it was tough to get out and around to get food. We ended up hanging at the high top tables standing, which again was good for me.
Overall we liked it. I liked having savory food and wine. The view for the show was excellent so over all i would recommend it.
