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

[yulilin3]

i will ask about jedi training when we are there Wed morning. My dh is too old to do it so I am jedi clueless - but I will get the info for you guys. What do you want me to ask and where do I ask.

thank you. Just find out if people can sign up for JT before everyone else is let inside the park. You can go to the sign up area, it's next to 50s Prime Time by the Indiana Jones store.

Hi
Wondering about Trading with the Jawa. Do you think old CD's would work? - Shiny and metallic
Thanks

It might work. Depending how picky the Jawa is that day. I would take a couple of different offerings

Just received and completed a Disney Survey specifically about the dessert party and our experience, so apparently the higher ups are interested in guest feedback about it.

Heads up for anyone else who may get it, the only questions where you can type your own response are the first two (what did you like best and what did you like least) ... I think I covered all the major highs and lows, but was anticipating at least one more opportunity to share my thoughts, so didn't mention that we were happy with the way our tree nut allergy was handled or that it would be nice to have multiple stein options.

We splurged on Early Morning Magic because our son is turning 9 next Monday and is Star Wars obsessed. Thought having HS open extra early "Just for his birthday" would be a nice surprise. Also, we're desperate to get him signed up for Jedi Academy, as last time we were there we waited in line for an hour before giving up. If anyone can confirm if they'll let you sign up early for Training Academy, it would be appreciated. If not, that's fine since we'll be there early to get in line anyway, but if they let people sign up at 7:45 and we're riding Star Tours 6 times in a row thinking it won't be until 9, I may cry.

The new show along with the dessert party has been offered nightly since it debuted in June

So, with the Dessert Party, Launch Bay, etc going pretty much year round, is there any more of a sense of Star Wars Weekends in May/June? For example... the Stormtroopers opening the park and being stationed around throughout the day... are these year-round now? What about the opening parade?

Hi all (and hi @yulilin3 )

Have not kept up with this tread bc we are at the world...but have a question.

We have the early moring Magic planned for this week. Mainly bc we have to sign our kids up for Jedi academy

So question...are they allowing the EMM folks to sign up before the park open?

A fellow DISer checked on this and yes, you can sign up the kids for JTA during EMM:

I asked if it was possible to sign-up for Jedi Training. I was told it was. We had no interest but thought I would ask for those on the Boards.

Mine too! Thanks @yulilin3!

Edited, thanks @hiroMYhero! But thanks @yulilin3 for the Launch Bay map, that is also very helpful!

I've been looking almost daily anyway so no biggie, but was curious how soon before the dessert party for last week of October would be announced? Any ideas?

Could be anytime from this week to mid-September before they release more information. They've been very slow to update fireworks schedules and dessert parties. Subscribing to this thread is the best way to have the latest information.

I apparently never noticed the court yard before. It's been awhile since I've been inside that building. Which is the area Sorcerer Mickey or Wreck it Ralph used to meet? Is it C & D?
Oh, and is that courtyard shaded? Seeing the picture makes it look not as bad as I was envisioning for distance.

I doubt SWW comes back, if it does it'll be aftrer they open SWLand since the reason they gave for not having SWW this year was lack of space.
The SW offerings that are on now, Phasma March, A Galaxy Far Far Away and A Galactic Spectacular show and Launch Bay should stay in place, I'm hoping at least until the opening of SWLand

Like others have said, it's been very random but for Oct. I'm hoping that by the beginning of Sept we should know

Right, C was Mickey D was whatever movie they were promoting at the time. The courtyard is out in the open, but since the dessert party is at night it's not bad. Some nights are muggier than others, and of course useless if it's raining. It's not far away from the food. Just take the stairs straight across the Cantina

Where is the Visa M&G in this diagram?

Between G and H, it's not pictured in the diagram

We are headed to the party tonight. Hoping the yucky rain won't ruin our night. We did the early morning magic event this morning and had a great time!

SWW isn't happening this year, but Star Wars Celebration is! It's in April at the Orange County Convention Center. It's like SWW on steroids!

and I got a 4 day pass. I still can't believe I'm going....sorry got super excited at the mention of Celebration

 

[Roxyfire]

I'm calling it now, they'll update the party schedule for Sept 25th and onward next Friday since my son and I will be at Six Flags all day that day. I think I'm going to have to train my mother to check the disney website for me

Wow, thanks so much for the great pictures!! I feel better prepared. Hopefully these courtyard tables aren't too popular so we can snag one. Thanks again for all you do!!!

 

[bizeemom4]

Here now. Lots of tables set up within the dessert party area.
