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

[lovethattink]

Is this limited to the themed drinks I've seen in everyone's reviews, or do they also have beer/wine? DH doesn't do mixed drinks.

I wasn't looking because we drank the non-alcoholic apple lemonade. There might have been beer bottles, but I can't be 100% certain.

I just booked a Star Wars Dat at Sea Cruise for next February. I might have a Disney/Star Wars problem.

Yes, I noticed that it looked like high bar tables. The kids are DS11 and DD9, so we're past the stroller days! But I appreciate the tip! At this point, sadly my daughter is getting to be as tall as me, so she should be fine if we go, lol!

My son (almost 8) BARELY made it to the fireworks (and is also not a huge fan of loud noises). We ended up sitting near the front, off to the side by one of the lower handicapped accessible tables (prepared to move if I had to). He actually fell asleep on half on the ground/half on my lap for awhile. If you look at the stage area, we were off to the left side (figuring most people would want to use the tables on the right side). From overhearing the CM's it seemed like they knew how many people had requested accessible seating and when it got close to the time of the fireworks and there was no one using those tables they removed the signs and actually encouraged kids to come forward to the front. Sitting at the front, on the ground, the view was AMAZING!! It really feels like the fireworks are RIGHT THERE on top of you!!

My son said they were the most awesome fireworks he's ever seen (high praise as most things are just "eh, okay").

They don't have beer or wine, just the themed drinks

Wow - sounds amazing! Thanks for posting this - it's definitely encouraging! I think I will show him @yulilin3 's footage - it helps him to know what to expect, so I think if he sees it, he'll be better. He will love the theming so much so it's tough not to give it a shot!

a lot of people have found success using noise cancelling headphones, I know a couple of posters on here that have the same issue with loud booms and the headphones helped

we are in that group - DD (now 16) has always been noise sensitive and we've skipped the fireworks (or made sure we were inside during them) for our trips. Got her some of the noise cancelling headphones (we got ours at Wal-Mart in the sporting goods section - near the gun stuff). They worked amazingly well - she can still hear us talking to her but they mute the sound of the fireworks a lot. LOVE them - and again I thank everyone who suggested getting them!

Depends if there's only one f! The day you are going. ...which day are you going?

Hi All! I just booked the dessert party for April 9th! I am so excited and I have been checking every day to see of the reservations opened!

Now, for a couple of questions…

We have MM booked for the F! dining package at 4pm. F! is at 8:30 that night and the SW fireworks are at 9:15. Is it possible to do both? If I have to pick just one, I will skip F!. I'm not sure what time the dessert starts though, and what time we should line up. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

the dessert party starts an hour before fireworks, so in your case, at 8:15pm
If you do F! you will lose all of the dessert party time since you'll be getting to the party area around 9:10pm if you hurry, 9:15pm more realistic. There would be no point in having the dessert party booked at that point.

Thank you! Maybe I will just switch our MM to a regular reservation.

We wont be there until the end of May. So if there are 2 shows we will be ok?

if there are 2 Fantasmic! you'll be able to go to the 2nd show after the fireworks, that'a assuming that there will be fireworks and that there will be a dessert party.

Rumor that BB8 might be part of the new Star Wars A Galaxy Far Far Away
EDIT TO ADD: Duh!! I just saw it in the description of the show...it's been a long day already

Thanks for pointing it out though, because I don't remember reading it.

Was at DHS yesterday and they are making some sort of structure for the new shows. I thought that the change in location of characters would be for the sound booth but there's actually something being built. On both side so the dessert party location moved up a bit, it's fine because they took away the tall speakers with the screens that were there for the Adventure Happens Here Party.
Here are some pics

 

[Ferrentinos]

Very interesting! I wonder what they will be for? The new Star Wars stage show?

 

[msmama]

Wow. Anxious to see what it'll be. And the stage from the dance party is gone, right?

Looks like a beautiful empty day there, too!!
