Wishes dessert party or illuminations dessert party? Suggestions...
For me that depends. If you are someone who likes to imbibe in an alcoholic beverage or two, then I think that the Illuminations one is a good option because, at least as of right now, it's all you can drink, as well as eat. I think that the food options are not as good as the Magic Kingdom one though. So, if you're more into food, then choose the Magic Kingdom one.
In addition, if you have kids, I would chose the Magic Kingdom version, because they cannot drink, but have to pay the same amount as an adult who can drink at the Illuminations version.
Finally, if you want an amazing view, I would hands down suggest the Illuminations one. The view from where the party takes place is just spectacular. One of the best views period. The Magic Kingdom one (currently...we'll see what happens with the hub refurb)seats guests at the Tomrrowland Terrace, which doesn't necessarily have the BEST view of the fireworks. It's a good view (and one of my favorites...I used to love sitting there before the dessert parties started) but it's off to the side, so it's not spectacular.
That's just my long-winded two cents about the whole thing. I think it really depends on your family and what you're wanting from the party.
Thanks!
