**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[AThrillingChase]

yay! (i will risk sounding like a lush!)

You and me both

I am a little confused now, are all dessert parties inside launch bay? Or is that just the rain out location? Sorry I am so behind over here! I have been renovating my new condo and it has overtaken my life since the dark side challenge. I long for the SW filled days at disney

Speaking of...totally off topic but...anyone staying at the Poly in the near future?? I am redoing my bathroom to look like the Poly standard rooms and am in need of a photo of the turtle wallpaper. I need a straight on shot so it is not distorted (so I can have a photo of the square printed on wall vinyl to recreate it) and none of my pics will work. Why did I not think of that when I was there in April??

Ok for those looking for a last minute spot. In front of gmr was great, you can't see the wide scope of the show but you can see a lot and the sound surrounds you. I got a ton of pics and will post tomorrow
There was a total of about 15 people watching from there

I swear I walked by you last night. Lol. We were coming from stR tours over to toy story. You were right smack in the middle of the fence facing gmr. I didn't want to roll up and say hi cause I thought it might be weird. Lol. I guess it was you though. Lol. We r going to he dessert party tonight. I hope it doesn't get rained out. I tried so hard to not watch any of the show last night. We were coming back over to the gmr right before the fire went off. I really think I lost some hair on my arms. Holy crap it was hot! Music and sound sounded awesome though. I hope they don't jam too many people into the dessert party. It did look really tight.

I highly recommend visiting the Poly thread on the Resorts board. I'm sure someone would happily help you out!

Here now...

What time should we line up for dessert party? We have a frozen fp for 7:30 show. Will that be too late?

Also, any recs on best table to try and snag?

Thanks so much!

Aww you should have totally come up and said hi. I love meeting Dissers in person. Stephanie and I will be there tonight as well, she's bringing her camera and taking pics from that same spot as last night. I'm hoping for no rain but it is nice it cooled down

You can check in as early as 7pm, they check your name and put the wristbands on you. The area doesn't open until 8:15 to 8:30. If it's still raining is inside and it doesn't matter what table.
If it's outside the best tables are the ones on the far right and front

Starting July 10th the party portion is moving permanently inside launch bay, then they walk you out 15 minutes before the fireworks to the roped off location

Trying to visualize the area, so @yulilin3 you were standing at the back of the stage in front of GMR last night? Or am I totally picturing the area wrong?

Yes, I posted pics in the page right before this one

Thanks! I saw the pics but it all looks SO different to me since the last time I was there they had walls up taking down the giant hat. So I wanted to make sure I was visualizing the new set up correctly.

I'm hoping to book the dessert party in August. This thread has been so helpful. Thanks!

Do you know at all how that changes the party? Are there seats for guests when it is inside? Is there a special place inside Launch Bay for it? Extra entertainment?

No announcement of changes have been made. I expect there to be no seating inside. No extra entertainment has been mentioned . I'm basically waiting for reports from the 10th

Hey Yulilin were coming back this weekend... arrive Friday afternoon and leave Monday late afternoon... will you be around at all? Would love to meet up again! The only plans we have so far is a reservation for the dessert party on Friday night but not 100% sold on keeping it!

Pm me your travel plans and I can probably meet you somewhere

Wonder if they will have it in December. Any ideas? Need to pick between this and MVMCP.

 

[yulilin3]

9:10pm inside launch bay, no one in line for either Chewie or Kylo. Jawas are out right now.
Stormtroopers just walked by, they stopped to take some pics with kids
Dessert party is being held inside disney Jr

So, it seems our "skip DHS this time" plan, which was replaced by a "let's just do a DHS evening on Epcot day" plan, has become a "let's just do a DHS day with a late start and try for the Star Wars party" plan.

At least I was able to juggle all our effected FPs and ADRs (no small feat well after the 60 day window, a party of 8, and the effected parks being Epcot and DHS).

Now, just need those August dessert party dates to be released ...

There's a lot of people waiting for August. I'm sure it should come in the next couple of weeks.
