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

With the new fireworks, I think it would be a very potent marketing thing to start the new Fireworks on either May 4th or 5th. Now I think they will start on Memorial Day Friday May 27th at the earliest. The earliest the new Fireworks get announced I think is the Mid-April hours extension for May on the April 15th (maybe as soon as the 8th).

it did appear on the HUB that SWaGS would start May 27th and your timeline fits as to when it will probably be announced.

Are there any recent reports on registration for the Jedi Academy? During Easter week (non EMH day), is arriving at 8am early enough?

Can someone help with the Disney VISA meet & greet? About how long do I factor in for that? How long has it taken you, if you have experienced it? Is it the same Kylo as the general public meet and greet?

Ummm, Kylo is Kylo. The Visa greet is in a separate part of the building away from the general meet and greet.

Two weeks ago, yulilin3 and I met Visa Kylo with less than a 5 minute wait at mid-day.

Haha...maybe one is an imposter or decoy!

Thank you! Sounds good. We would plan to be there between 12 and 12:30.

We are planning on being at HS on 4/18, was hoping to do the dessert party and see the SW Fireworks. So dates have been unavailable for anything past mid March until today. Days are loaded through April today even though nothing is available. BUT 4/18 is blacked out! Does anyone know what might be going on on 4/18 that would cause no dessert party or maybe *gasp* no fireworks? With all this ROL commotion and now this I am having to redo our entire schedule. ARGH!

We are visiting HS on 4/18. We were hoping to do the dessert party and catch the SW fireworks. Until today dates for the dessert party had only been loaded through mid march. Today they are loaded through april but of course 4/18 is blacked out. Does anyone know why there wouldn't be a dessert party on 4/18 or *gasp* no fireworks? Between the ROL commotion and this I am having to redo our whole schedule. ARGH!

I am also looking for April but for the 22nd. I too noticed that dates were loaded through April (I think yesterday), but none of them show any availability. Maybe they are loading them. It is interesting that April 18 is the only date not highlighted. Maybe because of the marathon?

 

[scrappingbuckeye]

I too have been patiently waiting on them to load new dessert party dates, they are there but not accepting reservations yet, grrrr.

 

[ArielSRL]

I heard that the new dates added were Saturdays only. Not sure if they will add in more dates after they see how those sell??

Starting in April with the Star Wars Marathon, Disney Photopass is taking over the pictures for the Run Disney Event according to Allears. http://land.allears.net/blogs/kristin-ford/2016/03/what_you_need_to_know_about_di_1.html

I was reading about this yesterday on another thread... fingers crossed for Disney IT...

This annoys me. I received a call from Disney in response to a complaint email I sent in November regarding Star Wars weekends ending. She told me to expect some sort of Star Wars dining experience in 2016 and said they are working out the details. But I've heard nothing on this since.

Don't hold your breath. I got a call in October assuring me that although it wasn't announced, and she couldn't say officially, that she couldn't see how they would cancel SWW. That was followed by an email in November telling me that SWW was DEFINITELY happening..... a week before they cancelled it.

the lack of communication is really sad, and it affects the guest directly each and every time. You cannot even rely on information on their own website sometimes

Yes, its so frustrating. I mean, basically they want you to plan almost each and every minute of the day (all the new developments and planning tools indicate this, IMO) yet, they don't give you the info to actually do it in advance.

Oh well. We will all still keep going and paying premium prices to do so. As long as we can, anyway.

the shaded April 18th date is strange. There will still be fireworks though.

Too many stories just like this (my own included, although not about SW) to ever believe anything someone on the phone from Disney tells me. I'm really shocked at the lines they feed people sometimes. I know, it's a big company, and it's hard for them to know everything going on. Well, if that's the case, then they need to stop telling people stuff like that in response to a complaint. I'm convinced they will tell anyone anything to talk them down about whatever they are complaining about.
