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

[RMColosimo]

I am going to be in Orlando for a convention in Feb, and a vendor is taking a bunch of us to the Dessert Party. That's the only way I could ever afford it in all honesty.

Some lightsabers have intricate wiring, but I would hope that simply turning it on to show security that it's a light-device would would be okay. Personally, I would LOVE to see a bunch of lightsabers making a rainbow tribute.

Thanks! My fiance wants to order some ultra sabers but I'm thinking the hasbro force FX or ultimate FX would be better as the Force FX are sold inside the park. Think we are going as sith. I wouldn't be surprised if a tribute is organized!

When I go in March, Fantasmic is scheduled for 8:30, with the park closing at 8. What time do you think SWGS will be if you had to guess? We would really like to do the dessert party. Will there be time for all of it?

I have been sooo MIA from this thread since the summer. It was a mess of buying a condo, renovations (still not done!), work blowing up, and two rundisney race trips - it was all I could do to stay on top of the race threads! But now with the marathon over (officially a marathoner!) I can finally focus on planning my dark side trip!

PS: Anyone wonder why it's called Galactic Nights? Anyone suspect another night is on the way?

Will this event be recurring?
Yes. Star Wars Galactic Nights will return for select dates and we look forward to sharing more information in the future.

I am completely unsure of what to do here. We are arriving on the 14th for Celebration, then doing Universal for 2 days for Harry Potter (1st time) and then moving to disney on the night of the 18th through Monday the 24th for the challenge races. We have tickets taken care of with AP's for disney. But, hotel for celebration, universal, and disney + Universal tickets is killing the budget. I'd love to do this event, but, it means almost $50 in uber fees going back and forth to attend it since we won't be on disney property that night. You know, on top of the $250 for two tickets. If they are going to do it any other night...

I'm just afraid this will sell out before they announce other nights ...and then they will say the other nights occur in...May. haha.

I just saw that DHS is having an evening special ticket Star Wars event on April 14th. It is from 7PM-midnight for the 40th anniversary of Star Wars. This is one separate ticket event I would pay for, but it looks like it is a 1 time thing.

welcome back!!
My gut is that they might do it May 4th and then Opening night for Episode VIII. But obviously not confirmed.

I would think SWaGS will be at 8pm. If there is only one F! not sure you could do both

being discussed on the SWW thread. It is not a one time thing

So the Galactic Nights event suggests that Boba Fett will be meeting inside Launch Bay and also Vader
Since they are doing something to the old game room, I thought it would be Vader for sure, but maybe it's a permanent meet for Boba Fett?

That would be awesome. At this point, I am like anyone but Kylo. I wold vaguely even consider Jar Jar Binks, before I blew my head off

SWGN (Star Wars Galactic Nights) information and link to book has been added to first page post #3

I think Kylo is staying just because of Episode VIII. So we will have 3 permanent meet and greets inside Launch Bay

There's a lot of information in the WDW description:

Come face-to-face with popular figures from the Star WarsSaga… and some you may be seeing for the very first time.

From famous heroes to infamous villains—and perhaps even an iconic droid or 2—keep your eyes peeled for many of your favorites. You may even spot an all-new Character never before seen in the Disney theme parks!
Never before seen at Disney Parks.....?

During Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular, you’ll see and hear and feel the music, magic and characters from the Saga as they light up the night with memorable Star Wars moments—complete with state-of-the-art projection effects, lasers, pyrotechnics and more.

Plus, before you’re thrust into the middle of the action starring the Skywalker family, keep your attention glued to the main stage for a special interactive pre-show—exclusive to the event!
Interactive preshow?

And all the stuff going on at Star Tours. Stormtroopers patrolling the loading area, Ewoks actually in their village...

BF got the email from Celebration early this morning and got us tickets a little before the blog post went up. He was really funny though. "Does this mean we won't be going to Celebration itself on the 14th?" No silly! Though clearly Andi and Peter of the SWS aren't going to be getting any sleep from the 14th to the 15th...

We popped over to DLR last week because I needed my holiday fix and Filbert the Trekin' Turtle needed to meet the two new Princesses, but of course, stopped over to check the SW stuff. I wouldn't be shocked if they follow the DL example and have Boba Fett in the cantina. He is never scheduled but I've seen him at least once a day every time I've gone since Launch Bay opened. The video game area is now Lego TFA and still some iPads with Angry Birds. You'd think they'd toss in Galaxy of Heroes or something.

What I seriously think is that there will be an appearance by the Actors who are going to be in the Parade.

yes, just like SWW. Wait, why can't we have SWW again?? not that I'm bitter or anything

My description this morning was "hard ticket SWW for five hours, minus face and disney characters, plus scavenger hunt and Andi."

*rubs hands together* Will Pablo be there hmm, I owe him like five drinks or something at this point. And if Matt Martin isn't there I will be shocked since he's as much a Disney Parks geek as a Star Wars one. And yes, I am fangirling over the Story Group and Andi and not the actors because I am That Person.

To me it seems they took SW weekends... cut it down to a "party" that runs a few hours.. and want to charge you $130 per person for it.
I'm sure there will be a few extras, but when I compare it to the annual SWW (cancelled now) I just get sad.
