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

[yulilin3]

Just saw that May 28th is the last scheduled day for the fireworks and that's our check-in day. Guess I am changing plans to go to HS on that day since they might not have it anymore the week we are there.

keep checking here and on the site, if they are doing fireworks after the 28th they will update hours next week

Make sure to read page one of this thread, I keep it up to date and answer some of the most asked questions there...If you have 15 minutes between the end of F! and the beginning of fireworks you'll be fine.

I did, and thanks so much for all the work putting together such great info. My question was a little more precise--not just whether I could do Fantasmic and still see the SW Fireworks, which I understand you can. I was trying to figure out if I could do Fantasmic and the dessert party. That seems like it would be a no go?

I have a reservation for the dessert party on 5/20. Reservation says 8:45 but what time should I queue up for a good table. What time will they let us in?

Anyone have tips on how I should plan our day at HS to avoid the longest lines? I know my kids will want to see Kylo, Chewy and do the Jedi Training. I'm guessing go straight to the sign ups for JT since it books up quickly and then see the characters?

You'll only have about 15 minutes of the dessert party, to me that would not be worth it.

They will probably let you in around 8:40pm, I would line up around 8:15pm

that's a good plan, Launch Bay is less busy early in the morning and late in the evening. Remember if you have the Disney Chase Visa card that Kylo also has a meet and greet with shorter wait from 11am to 4pm

I remember reading waaaay back when they released Episode VII that they added Jakku to ST and were temporarily putting it in each ride (rather than mixing it in with the randomizer). Is that still the case, or is it back to random?

The. Jakku scene and BB8 hologram is still fixed not random

Thanks!

I am going to also use this moment to go on record: the new Star Wars fireworks will not be complete without the 20th Century Fox fanfare.

It will never happen, though.

@yulilin3 - at the SitS Dessert Party, were the drinks unlimited? We are specifically wondering about the alcoholic drinks. Thanks!

I know you weren't specifically asking me, but yes, they are.

Awesome! Thanks!

It was done during Last Tour to Endor event, I was there and it was epic

@Sevey13 found a video, It was the first time we had ever seen SW fireworks, the first Symphony in the Stars

Haha. So glad it had THX, too.

Bleh.

Finally got everyone on the same page and doing a "laid back" Disney trip with my parents in late June. Most of the time at the resort very little in the parks this trip. One thing in the parks we will be doing is seeing Fantasmic at DHS (my parents have never seen it) and I'm hoping the new Star Wars fireworks show will be going by then. Fantasmic is set for 9 that night but the park is set to close at 8:30pm - Any idea what that portends for the fireworks show (would they do it at 8:30 then fantasmic if they don't change the hours?)

Wow, the Star Wars fireworks were the best I have ever seen. The integration with the music is incredible. It was so well done. I hope they make this a permanent attraction at Hollywood Studios!

park hours will likely change. If they do F! at 9pm the fireworks show will most likely be at 9:45pm or 10pm.

We will definitely have SW fireworks for a while with the addition of the new fireworks/projection/laser show. They are building 2 very large, sturdy structures, I don't see it going anywhere fast.

Here's some BB-8 news! Life-size (16" tall), remote activation, and responds to voice commands: projected to cost $180.
