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

[MinnieMSue]

Just booked the Dessert party for 8:15 on March 30 (shocked it was available just looked on a whim). Anyway what time should we show up? 8:15 or earlier (seems like you always go earlier to these types of things). We want a decent table away from trees. Thanks

Be there by 8pm and you should be fine

Joining! Hey everyone Going to WDW for a magical honeymoon in September 11-22, right after getting married to the best man on Earth (his last name is 'Wright' so I am literally marrying Mr. Wright. )

He, like every other guy I know, is obsessed with all things SW, and I'm just wondering what kinds of characters/shows/events are expected to be at at DHS come September?? From what I know, right now you can meet a few characters at Launch Bay, and there's a 'Symphony in the Stars' and a dessert party but that's ending soon? But new fireworks are coming for the summer? Will they just be in the summer or are they rumoured to be around in September too?

Forgive me, I would go back and read through the whole thread, but to be honest, I'm planning a wedding which every day has got me like

First of all congrats on the wedding...
Good thing about this thread is that you don't have to read all the pages, I keep page one updated on all things SW at DHS.
For September Launch Bay should be open
Path of the Jedi 10 min. recap movie
Star Wars A Galaxy Far Far Away show presented several times on Center Stage

April 3rd will bring a new map of DHS,f course, missing the big chunk of Streets of America. At least the new map will feature BB8 on the cover

Anyone going to the fireworks tonight? If the rain holds off, Lewis and I are planning on watching.

no, not tonight have fun, I hope the rain holds off

 

[ArielSRL]

Yeah! They let us in early. We got here just after 8am. On the left at the gates, they had a sign for JTT sign ups. We got our first choice, 10:40am.

We want the latest show bc my son would prefer the light sabers light up so I'm not worried about the earlier shows filling up but I don't necessarily want to wait 30 minutes to sign up. How long did you guys wait? Guess 4.5 yr old and I may have to leave SSR earlier than I planned for our DHS day. The rest of the fam can lag behind a bit if they want, I suppose.

Best guess new Star Wars fireworks in Sept, before or after Fantasmic? Park is scheduled to close at 8 with an 8:30 fantasmic. Trying to plan ADR for dinner.

never rely on park hours this early, they will probably change
If F! is scheduled for 8:30pm I would say fireworks will be after

Quick question...is the green shaded area below a decent view of the fireworks? Can you hear the music?

Thanks!

It's a great spot to watch but you can't hear the music. The only place to hear the music is inside by center stage and faintly around echo lake

We watched from Echo Lake twice. We heard the music better the night without much wind.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. I have a group of 110 on Wednesday, and I'd like them to watch the fireworks before we load the buses. I'll still have them meet there, so we are out of the park and ready to go after the show. Maybe I'll tell them to pull up a Periscope to listen to the music!

I feel like they should add live streaming of show music to the MDE app -- same way that you can tune into a TV channel for Wishes music at Contemporary Resort, etc.

Or YouTube, there are a lot of videos of the fireworks show. Just make sure it's this year's show and not the one from last year cause it's different

 

[subtchr]

But with YouTube I'd have to sync it, Periscope would be live! (Just kidding, a few seconds here or there would be just fine...)

Seriously, thanks as always for sharing your insights!

We watched from there the whole way back against the railing one night because we saw them inside earlier in the week and wanted a fast exit on the bus. As mentioned, you could barely hear the music, but the view was awesome. I would have no problem watching them from there again.

We only waited 10 minutes maybe to sign up. People had already started entering to sign up when we arrived. We walked back and there was handful of people, definitely less than 10 kids signing up. It was fast.
