How early do you need to be there with this new set up? TIA

no need to be early anymore since the view is not in play. You can check in at 8pm for the 8:15pm party. They've been opening the dessert party earlier than 75 min. before fireworks

Booked for the 7/31!! So excited!

Questions for those that have already been.

Do they keep the area in front of the kids section clear during the show?

Do they allow you to leave the Launch Bay area with alcohol?

One of the biggest reasons for us doing this(besides the free booze;p) is so DS9 can actually see the whole show.

We are booked for 7/31 too!! Me, DD and DD's boyfriend - they didn't get to go when we did it in June so very excited for them to see the fireworks. They both love Star Wars. Since I did the outside set-up I am excited to see the inside set-up. Not really excited about the new drinks - hoping they might change those before we go but if not, oh well.

We're there on the 31st as well - also with a DS9.

@yulilin3 we are going to try and watch from your spot in front of the GMR tonight. Would you say 9:10 would be safe, or too late? Trying to do some rides as well... Still no dessert party availability for today or Saturday.

9:10 is fine. Have fun and report back.

Will do- thank you so much! We saw the fireworks part from Narcoose's last night. There were more than I expected to see!

Just booked for Sept. 1st party. Had issues trying to book on-line and had to call CM to book for me. Was able to select the day and time but for some reason
would not accept payment information. CM stated that they were having issues with making reservations. Excited to finally book.

Well I booked..... I am not even sure we are going to see the Stars Wars show but I feel like if we are it would be better with the dessert party. I think I need DH to watch a video of the new show. He is ambivalent about Star Wars and I am not sure the special effects are going to be enough to sway him.

Opinions welcome for those who don't love Star Wars....

I grew tired waiting to see if there is going to be a second Fantasmic! show so I chucked Fantasmic! altogether. Booked the dessert party instead because my guys LOVE Star Wars. We'll be there August 12.

Looking forward to it!

Same here, bright side is it gives me a little more time to decide which night and save up a bit more. I'm tempted to try Oct 1st since that's my birthday. That would probably be the best birthday party ever!

That is my daughter's birthday and the night we hope to attend!

Can people report back on whether strollers are allowed in the Launch Bay and the viewing area? I'm not sure about my youngest staying awake...

Do you have any interest in the show? I'm sure there are all levels of SW fandom represented in this thread but if you are not at all interested not sure if you'll enjoy it. Do you like Celebrate the Magic? fireworks? what's your level of SW love?

Not inside Launch Bay. You can bring strollers into the viewing area

you're going through Disney Planning Withdrawal or DPW
What are your plans for your DHS day?

Yeah I know... my trip is over. I've got a tiny trip planned for Christmas but I only need one ressie (and it's already blocked out for a Thursday in early November!!!!)

Well we are a mostly go with the flow kinda family. We will be at DW for 9 days so we are lucky that we can tour at our pace. We did spring for the EMM for one day. We only go once every 2 years and have only gotten to ride TSM twice, so we are psyched for that and Star tours as many times as we can cram into the morning. We love the thrill rides too and my son is 14 so we can do fast pass and then single rider lines as much as we want on RNR andTOT. May go back to the hotel in the afternoon, may not, depends how we feel. Staying at Beach Club so its easy. Early Dinners at SciFi and 50sPT scheduled.
