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

[yulilin3]

Anyone have any insight on when they will release the reservations for the SW dessert party for the first week of March? I assume it won't be run every day, so I have all my other ADRs and Fastpasses locked down and I'm just waiting on this.

it should be released by the end of January

Planning ahead for our summer trip - do you think that it will be nightly once the summer crowds come in? I want to make sure that I change things around now while ADR's are still plentiful then trying to do it in April or May!

they have them nightly until almost the end of February, I would think it will be nightly for the summer months

For the Star Wars Guided Tour, does anyone know if there is a child's price or is it $129 regardless of age? Also, does anyone know how many others will be on the tour with you?

I just called 407-939-7529 which is the tours and special items line (basically a lot of the up-charge items). I found out two things... one they don't send out a confirmation e-mail like I was originally lead to believe, two my confirmation number did bring up my tour and we are all set. We check in at the Chinese theater at 12:30.

The last thing I found out is the price of the tour is the same for everyone 3 and up! I guess they figure the younglings can do the Jedi Training Academy stuff and the adults can drink for their money.

In addition as of right now the Tour is only being offered through February and they haven't heard if they are going to offer it past that, this is a trail type thing.

UPDATE: Oh something interesting that just dawned on me, the CM told me closed toe and heel shoes only, not sure if that is standard thing or if there is some behind the scenes areas we might walk through?

Thank you for the info! I am interested in booking this for the first week of May, so I keep checking to see if they are opening reservations. I don't want to miss the boat! I can't wait to hear what you think of the tour! Also, FYI, my family is signed up for the VIP Ultimate Thrills Tour and they also told us to wear closed toe shoes. I wonder if it is just that they want everyone walking at a brisk pace and they don't want people tripping over their flip flops, etc. LOL!

VIP Ultimate Thrills Tour - hmmmm do tell? I have another trip coming in April along with SWC, might be interested in booking that.

Shoes - I wondered if that was a canned info thing that they tell everyone.

I will be sure to give a report of the Star Wars Guided Tour We'll have to keep track and see if they continue to do it... so far the CM said just through February... this one is in it's trail phase he said.

I'm sure my questions are answered somewhere in these 650+ pages, so sorry for the re-run questions!! Re: the dessert/fireworks/laser show
1. What happens if it rains?
2. Do we get special access to Chewy and Kylo? or just wait in line with all park visitors??

1. Party is inside Launch Bay so you will still have that, the show doesn't get cancelled unless heavy rain/thunderstorms. They will not refund unless you cancel within the policy (1 day prior)
2. No special access but during the evening both character meet lines are very short

No special access for characters? Are you serious!? I know the lines are generally not long, but gesh!

no because Launch Bay is open for everyone during the dessert party and they can't create a separate line just for party goers. Believe me the wait is less than 10 minutes most days

Info about the tour can be found at this link: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/vip-tour-services/

Basically, it is a tour that gets you onto the biggest "thrill" attractions at MK and DHS, plus Soarin and lunch at Sunshine Seasons. There is a thread here on the Theme Parks Attractions & Strategies board that you can find by searching which discusses the fact that the tour used to be better because it included 2 rides at AK rather than 1 ride at EPCOT, and it included a signature lunch at Brown Derby rather than quick services at Sunshine Seasons. They made these downgrades and did not reduce the price.

I haven't been on this tour before and I am annoyed they made the tour less valuable; yet, I booked it anyway because we have limited time at WDW and I want to make the most of it.

If you do Google searches for reviews of the tour, just beware because most of them probably are from before they made the changes to the itinerary.

Wow now if it had been the original tour, I might have jumped on this in a heart beat, especially with time constants, and the simple fact that my husband and I eat at the Brown Derby almost every trip we go to WDW.

Now I will wait and read reviews and see what you have to say about your experience.

 

[The Sunrise Student]

nope

WOW, surprised someone hasn't put something out here as a make shift what they did while on tour. I will be sure to make note of stuff when we go and added it to my review.

Have Star Wars Tour booked for 14th Of Jan. When we called well before the 2nd of Jan start all dates were booked out. Lucky to get the 14th.
When my wife called the CM asked are we light side or Dark Side? Dark Side of course, hoping this will mean something through the tour.
Looking forward to it.

The CM I spoke with told me there are 40 slots per tour.

I don't think it is any big deal. I believe your nametag is decorated as light side or dark side.

Anyone know what's up with 1/28 and why it can't be booked? It doesn't show up as no tables available. Just that it can't be booked.
