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

2nd guess: an exclusive pin

I like that idea, but no. It would make things so much easier. You wouldn't believe the labor and time involved retrieving, unpacking, bagging and distributing 200 TIE fighters every night. And guess who supplies the labor?

Poor poor FastPasser I appreciate you very much

No, no, no, we don't mind doing it, it's all good, we get paid to do it. For those who have been to a party, you may have noticed that the CMs checking you in actually seem to be enjoying it.

 

[FoxC63]

well when we used to camp out for SWW we used the restroom that is outside of the DHS gates

Oh! Excellent! I didn't know they would be open

 

[ministrychick77]

Great idea, is that something you'd like to see?

Yes. I mean, the steins and the popcorn buckets look nice, but with the amount we're paying it would be nice to get something exclusive. Maybe a pin,a small figure, a lanyard, hell.. Maybe a special meet & greet?
Something simple..

it would be nice to get something exclusive.

Disney agrees, it will be.

Are they escorting people out at 9pm now for the Disney Movie Magic?

Nope, and it's not mentioned at the party. IMO, it's not worth leaving the party early for the show.

Forgot to mention that because the souvenir gift is handed out at the Launch Bay just before attendees leave the building, if you leave the party too early, you might miss out on the souvenir gift.

Good to know - thanks.

So if SWaGS doesn't run in December, does that mean the tour also doesn't run? Or do they replace the dessert party with the JBJB one? Or heavily discount the tour? We had kinda hoped to do the tour for the full Star Wars experience and less hassle trying to get the kids into the Trials, but with no SWaGS, no tour?

all good questions
I am not sure about the tour. The big value of the tour is the dessert party and reserved viewing area, not sure if they can still do SW tour and incorporate JBJB, it doesn't mesh at all. But the tour does bring a lot of money in so who knows

 

[cvjpirate]

Do you think they would do one dessert party but have two shows, one for JBJB and the other for SWaGS? Didn't they end up doing that last year?

yes they did both shows in December but only one dessert party, the JBJB one.
What I don't remember was if they opened up the reserved area from JBJB to fit everone for SWaGS, I think they took the ropes down after JBJB

SWaGS was at 6:15, so I can't imagine that the JBJB viewing area ropes would be up that early as they wouldn't need them for a couple of hours.

I just figured out why I couldn't remember, I wad blocked out for the last 2 weeks of December, but at the beginning swags dis come after jbjb

 

[FastPasser.]

but at the beginning swags dis come after jbjb

Here's what the WayBack machine, aka The HUB's calendar is showing. Amazed at how long they keep the old calendars.
11/12 SWaGS stops
11/14 JBJB starts
12/16 & 12/17 SWaGS returns with performances after JBJB
12/18 through 12/30 SWaGS performances at 6:15, before JBJB
12/31 midnight performance

 

[FastPasser.]

Just wanted to point that as usual, Yulilin3's memory is correct. On the two nights preceeding her blockout period, you'll notice that the SW show was after JBJB. When it switched to before the SW show for the remainder of the year, she was on the outside looking in.

 

[yulilin3]

The question is will they do SWaGS before or after JBJB
My thought process: Do JBJB first to offer the Christmas feel at an early time for families with small children. Then do SWaGS to end the night...only time will tell if they even do both shows though

 

[FastPasser.]

Very interesting.
If it's the exact same JBJB show, there's some justification in switching the sequence as the party went over better than the show. So end the night on a high note. Something tells me that it's too drastic a departure from the norm. You know Disney, play it safe.

That would be nice, but the Sunset Showcase is being used quite a bit for private and special events. In fact there is one tomorrow night.

Also, what very few people are aware of is that there is a modified and abbreviated version of Club Villains offered as a special event. It takes place from time to time. That's why the sets and decor were not removed even though CV ended it's run for day guests.

Private events I understand but how does one find out about special events. Or are those private also?
