Are the meet and greets for party guests only or is it mixed w all park guests?
Is for everyone. At that time of the evening the lines are around 15 minutes long for each

Cool. I picked up a plain version of that sort of ball (for $2 at the New Bedford Buttonwood Park Zoo). I hope they like it without the picture.Hi Guys
Just wanted to give you a note about Launch bay trading with the Jawa. I bought light up bouncy balls with Kylo on them at the bins at Target for $3. It was so fun. DS went to trade with the first jawa who saw the picture of Kylo and they looked very interested. DS then pounded the ball and it lit up and the Jawas went nuts. Waving and thumbs up and bouncing the ball back and forth to each other. When he pulled out a second ball they "argued" about who would trade another droid part. They even bounced them into each others trading bags. I
will say as usual Disney definitely knows how to suck another dollar. So we got 2 droid bodies. Of course you can't buy just the dome or legs so it off I went to build your own droid and paid for a whole droid.... and have extra bodies.
On the first page, post 4 there are a lot of reviews, Most people have found leaving the party 25 to 30 minutes before the show to be helpful in securing a spot by the ropes. Once inside the area anywhere along the ropes and toward the center of Hollywood Blvd is best, but people have also said that if you go out with the masses and you go all the way to the back of the area it's a good view as wellHoping to book the dessert party in early November. So to get the best spot in the viewing area I should leave 10-15 minutes before they lead everyone out to the viewing area? Where is the viewing area and which spot in the area is the best?
that's awesome, your 4 yo has great taste in sagas remember to check out page 1 first, there's a lot of info thereI just booked the dessert party for our October trip. My 4 yo JUST got into all things SW so I have a lot of reading and catching up to do!
no JT during EMH last show is around 7 to 7:40 depending on closing timesI'm sorry if this was asked and answered, this thread is massive though. On nights where HS has EMH in the evening, does JTA run during the EMH hours?
the LB movie is focused on the makers of the movies, tv shows and books, it's like them talking about their love of SW and how they use the different mediums to tell the SW stories.what's the difference between the movie in the launch bay and the SW movie playng in the other theater?
There's no end date for what's being offered right nowHey y'all we are thinking about a disney vaca this year, when does the SW event end?

I am right there with you. My 8yo DD is a huge SWs fan and has talked about this event for months. With this being her birthday trip, I have been stalking this thread and the WDW website seems like forever looking for updates about the fireworks and party.I've been checking this thread every day for months waiting for October dates for the dessert party to open, then I go out of town and out of range overnight and of course that's when it opens! I was all panicked but I was able to book for 3 people on my second choice of days (and the first choice was just a day when they aren't having the show, oh well). But it does make me wonder if they opened it up to more people? I would have guessed that dissers alone would book it all up in the first few hours!
I'm so excited! Now, except for booking FP+, our trip is all planned!
1) you can get the same view as the dessert party by grabbing a spot early, depending on crowds an hour before should be ok1 ) Can people who did the fireworks with the Dessert party and with no dessert party can compare both? I have a reservation, but it's a lot of money for us. I'm thinking securing a spot an hour early and buying some snacks might be a better choice for our family... but if it's really too crowded or bad view, etc. I might consider just biting the bullet. Any inputs?
2) My son only speaks french but would like to do Jedi training... any one experience this?

So we go out of town Sunday and Monday and I didn't check the DISboards until yesterday, when I saw how many pages were added to this thread I knew something must have happened. I jumped over to Disney to see if there was any availability for the one night (10/7) I had left open for either SWaGS or ROL. I really didn't have my hopes up but got super lucky and was able to get the party on 10/7 for the 3 of us! I thought with this being the Friday of Columbus Day weekend and crowd predictions already high that I would have zero chance! We had already told our DD that there was a good chance that the fireworks may not be happening, so we are going to keep this as a surprise and the dessert party is icing on the cake! haha
A BIG thank you to @yulilin3 and all the others on here that have shared their thoughts, reviews, answered questions and most of all kept us up to date.
