Does anyone know what the cancellation policy is for the dessert party? I've still got it booked two nights, wondering how close I can wait to check the weather before cancelling one.

SO, we made it to HS last Thursday. We (DS3 and I) had planned on an 11am arrival, but were up early and ready. We got to the gates at 9, went straight to LB, and had about a 4 minute wait for Chewie, and maybe 10 for Darth. Both "talked", Darth had my son clinging to my legs, lol. It was a lot of fun! Chewie gave us both multiple hugs, and a Chewie roar before we left.
We canceled the dessert party, since my son had his mind set on seeing "Mickey fight the dragon". We had the dining package, and sat at the top of the Mickey section, at the end of the row. As soon as Mickey defeated the dragon, we went to grab the stroller, headed down and around and straight over to Echo Lake for the fireworks. We sat on the ledges down by the water, perfect view, no crowds, it was awesome. Best fireworks.
Got our BB8 sipper, and build a lightsaber at Wattos. Complete trip!
I'd post pics, but I have no clue how to, but I will add, not a fan of the lighting with Darth. Can't hardly see him, and then our faces were flashed bright. Glad we got to meet him, since he will be gone in March when we are back.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS!!!!

Do you have pictures of the fireworks view?

 

[chicagoshannon]

Can you see the fireworks and hear the music outside of the park entrance?

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

Think I figured out how to attach pics.
My battery in my phone was on 10%, so I only snapped 1 pic of fireworks, and it's not great. But you get the idea. They pretty much covered the entire area above the boat.

Thanks! We don't have park tickets this trip but are staying at BWV so thought we might walk over and watch outside the gates.

We stood at the rope by GMR to view fireworks. Great view and was awesome being near speakers. We had a FP for 2nd fantasmic. Had plenty of time to get there. We are now sitting in the front row! Bundled up and ready to get wet if it sprays over here! Fun night!

 

[DisneyDreamingInMI]

Do the fireworks and dessert party still take place if there is rain? Do they change the location of the dessert party?

 

[mom2rtk]

I understand your point, like the Club Villain party, only place to meet and greet with Maleficent but that's something that people could save for and then book it. The Visa card is based on credit score and some people just can't have one for many reasons.

They had no issue taking the Beast out of France where anyone could meet him and putting him at BOG for dinner only, where only those lucky enough to get an ADR could meet him. Some people are just unable to get an ADR for dinner no matter how hard they try (especially in the early days).

Thanks so much for your description. We were wondering if one can see the fireworks (main priority) as well as Fantasmic. We were thinking of Echo Lake as is seems less busy but wanted to know .... can you hear the music there?? TIA!

Yep! Could hear it perfectly. And the finale shook the ground!
