Are they given out for free, given out with a purchase of food and beverage, or sold separately, and if sold, how much? We could probably pick up a couple at Epcot and bring them to the dessert party.

So I am patiently stalking the ADR page everyday in hopes that November will open up soon. But with that said I am getting a little nervous that this dessert party might not workout so well for us. We have two kids(5 and almost 1 at the time of our trip) With out being able to take a stroller in or have some sort of chair to put my 1 year old in I just don't see how this will work with the crowds and watching him. Anyone have any input on this for me. DH would love this and not having to stake out a viewing spot is amazing, but I just don't know anymore.

A souvenir AND a convenient way to manage food and drink at the dessert party!

Oh man, please send this to the dessert party management! This would be way better than the steins!!

I forgot how much they were but I don't think there were more than $10

There are benches around the Chewie meet and greet and also more in the Game Room. If you get there early you can grab a table that's right next to 2 benches right outside the dessert party area. You guys can take turns going to get food while the other stays with the kids at the table.

Where did u find the rings....

These aren't identical to the ones we had, but they're pretty close: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017...i=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=rings+light+up

Met the jawas today. They were fantastic! My son traded each one a light up ring and a metal tiny telescope. They ran around are showed all their friends the telescope and rings. My son got a pen and a sticker in return.

Then my daughter traded with them a metal heart shaped lock from an old diary she had. The jawas took out a long magnet and was so excited that it stuck to the lock. He made a big deal out of it for at least 5 minutes. Then my daughter got a r2d2 like droid piece out of it.

We attended the dessert party this past Friday night and had an absolute blast! Food and drinks were great and just the overall atmosphere was so much fun. It was a highlight of our vacation. I would definitely book it again.

I wonder if it's a ploy to get you to buy the build a droid toys. "We can't leave with just one droid piece, we need to go buy a set of 3".

(insert sarcastic tone) Disney would NEVER do that

They would be great and I hate to be a hater but Disney does not want guests eating too much or drinking too much as that will effect their bottom line at these dessert buffets. That's why small plates, one bartender and an expansion as to the number of guests.

Indeed, you've paid for your food and drink up front so they already have all the money they are going to get from you.

In contrast, Food and Wine is a la carte so Disney needs you to be able to keep walking and drinking and eating and buying and buying and buying.

Sorry, Disney isn't thinking of the needs and convenience of their guests but how to eek out every dime from us.

I'm not sure how it operates but I don't think they keep all the food that is left over during the dessert parties, especially after being put out for everyone to grab. So I don't think they care if you eat a lot. Maybe the small plates have to do with the set up. Small tables, small room to move around...I'm not sure. I really don't have an issue with the small plates since you can go again and again. I understand that with families with kids this might be more of a hassle.

OMG I think I met you yesterday on the boat! We totally talked about this! I'm glad that worked out for your kids!

And Disneyland should be getting a similar projection show.

This might be a dumb question, but I've read a lot and watched several videos and it seems like the dessert party is in a different spot quite often, from being outside, in the Disney Jr building, Launch Bay, etc. We'll be there on September 7th. Where can I expect the dessert party to take place? I would way prefer inside/air conditioning with the option to go outside in the roped off area if we choose.

Yes!!! You did indeed meet me on the boat! I recognize you from your picture. It was great meeting and talking with you, as cozy as that boat ride was. Hope you guys had a great time! Perhaps we will run into you again. We are here for many more days....

Its inside the (air conditioned) Launch Bay now for the food portion - then out to a roped off area for the show.

The party is now being held inside Launch Bay. Previously it was outside (in the reserved viewing area) with Disney Jr being the rain location. Now the treats are served inside, then you move to the viewing area just before the fireworks. They do have some outdoor tables at LB if you prefer.

Great. Thanks. That's what I thought but I watched too many videos that had me second guessing
