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

[wdwnut61]

This is why I love the DIS. I'm ashamed to say I wouldn't have thought to bring extra items to give to kids who didn't have anything to trade. Thank you for posting this.

I wish I had brought something to trade in March then the Jawa wouldn't have tried to take my IPhone

I had a conversation with my daughter the other day:
Me: I have too many Star Wars shirt, I should get other shirts
Today we went to the grand opening of Uniqlo and guess what I bought?

 

[Roxyfire]

If you are in the park that night we would gladly give you one!

It's our first night there and I'm just not sure if we should make plans for that evening, but I'm not sure if I would be able to convince my son to take it easy either!

Gonna go out on a limb that it was NOT an "other" shirt.

Thanks for the review, would you mind if I link it on the first page?

Sure, you can link it.

I am waiting for January dates to open. I have a feeling it will be a while.

Also waiting for January. We have one day scheduled in HS, and our ADR window opens up in 9 days. If the day I schedule us at HS doesn't end up having fireworks, I will be in serious need of therapy. Planning parks and meals 180 days out and then not knowing anything about the special events until a few weeks before going does not make for joyful planning.

The schedule for this fireworks show stops in September. Will it end there or are they adding shows. DHS is only open past 7pm a couple nights a week past that date so does anyone know if these will be the only nights to view the show, if at all come October? How far in advance do they post new dates/times for the show? Thanks for any help you have.

I guess I hadn't realized that you can't see SW fireworks and Fantasmic if there's only one F! show. We saw F! a couple of years ago, it hasn't changed, right?

They have been changing park hours and adding the fireworks only a month in advance. This week we saw them adding until mid September so that's an improvement

Fantasmic hasn't changed

We are staying at Carribean beach any chance you are staying there?

That was where we were booked but switched to CSR for free dining.

Figures! I tried to get CSR for a bounce back and it wasn't available so I had to book CBR lol

Did Launch Bay tonight- very cool! Traded with Jawas- 4th of July Madi Gras beads. Got a battery powered tea light candle and a pirate gem. It is only the one with the C3PO leg trading tonight as well.

Loved the Chewie meet- he is great! Kylo Ren is almost too serious. It was a good time overall though.

Just got back to the resort, the desert party and show were phenomenal!! No wait for Kylo and Chewie, storm troopers marching around the party, interacting with guests, and posing for pictures, special escort to the viewing area .. and the show itself ... it's hands down the best park nighttime show I've ever seen (never been to Disneyland though, I can only reference Disneyworld). Bob Chapek - chairman of parks and resorts - was there tonight overseeing both the party and the show .. Perhaps that means there will be an answer soon to the erratic booking?

Also went Thursday night. Saw the Disney suits and the Bob nametag... got home to Texas and looked him up. Bob Chapek had been standing 5 ft to my right throughout the show.

Seemed more like 125 than 200... and I know it was sold out because I heard CMs telling people asking what was going on that it was.

Jawas... you may have to be more blunt than we were that you want to trade. Swinging a shiny red Mardi Gras bead necklace around got no response.

DD28 said "they were fireworks" when I asked her what she thought... but she never wants to watch fireworks. Isn't into them. She did like the projections, but thought the fireworks themselves didn't serve the story enough.

It's now my fave "nighttime spectacular".

DD28 is pregnant with my first grandchild and was really looking forward to the sweets. We got a table right by the buffet table and we're the first folks to get the goodies. We made a totally amateur mistake... IMPORTANT NOTE: A dessert party is a marathon, not a sprint!!!

We really wish we had started with exclusively savory items and had just a few of the sweets. The smell of sweet things at Disney Springs the next day was gross. Don't get me wrong... what we ate was very good, but we aren't really dessert eaters and we overdid the sugar. We made a pact... whenever one of us thinks we want something sweet, the other will sing Darth Vader's Theme "dumb dumb dumb dumb da dumb dumb da dumb!"

If I purchase dessert party tickets and the show gets canceled due to weather, do they issue refunds?

No, you will only get a refund if you cancel at least one day before. the show will get canceled if there's a thunderstorm or heavy lightning, it won't get canceled because of just rain. The dessert party will happen regardless.

I'm waiting for February. It's killing me. ADRs are in a month. I'm actually loosely planning two nights at HS so I can do both shows. One's a full HS day and the other is a hop from a quiet World Showcase (because with an 8yr old DD, I'm planning multiple chances to see FEA!) & pool day. I'll just book a F! package for the full day and hope for the best...
