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

[yulilin3]

Where would you recommend we watch from? Looks like we'll be there for the 3pm.

There's tape on the floor, facing the stage, that's a good spot. The side ones are ok but it's better straight on

and then you get bitten by RunDisney....

This is what happened to us 4 years ago. My brother talked my DH and me (not runners in the least) to sign up for the January Disney Half. We did it, saying "I only have to do it once"..... well.....

We are now on our 5th RunDisney half with the Dark Side Challenge (first time doing a challenge!). We did the inaugural Avengers, have a coast-to-coast, and we are dying to do Wine and Dine, but the timing is tough. Beware.... it is truly addicting! Have a great time!

This is what I am worried about. Race registration isn't cheap, nevermind airfare, hotel, and park tickets, too lol. I hope to do the 2017 light and dark side races. I've never done more than a 5k, but I have a 10k this summer. Need that time for the halves at Disney.

In the merch pics, there are the Mickey ears with 13.1 etc, are those stickers? Like for my car window?

Found out why there is no dessert party on April 18th.
Disney is doing a promotion event, not sure for who I'm guessing travel agents and such, called Awaken Summer and on the 18th they have the dessert party space blocked for them.
Mystery Solved

Do you think it's possible that the new Star Wars Galactic Spectacular Firework show might preview on this day? We are going May 24-30 and really hoping to see some sort of SW Fireworks.

They're magnets for the car or wherever

Ok, take this with a grain of salt, but today there were a lot of bloggers at DHS, I got to talking to one, know him from his site and have talked to hima couple of times but I can't really consider him a friend...anyways we were talking about the Summer Awakens event for press and bloggers, he mentioned the event on the 18th and said that he thinks it might be the new night show because on their schedules it says something to the effect of "come enjoy and all new SW entertainment" so I'm not sure. He wasn't sure either.
So I have decided to go on the 18th to DHS just in case
It would be strange because the schedule already shows SiTS until April 30th but who knows.

Either my expectations were too high or they took short cuts because I thought that "Star Wars" show wasn't very good.

I agree, for sure there should've been some Jedi presence, also you can see the characters that are about to come up next and also the technicians "behind the scenes"
I have a feeling they will take away a couple of showtimes

Hopefully those fireworks make up for it.

Thanks for the info, it is most appreciated! Between RoL, SW Fireworks, and possible Frozen attractions in Epcot, I'm finding planning my May trip very stressful.

Here's my video of Capt. Phasma patrolling, the show is a bit more elaborate when she's on stage, all the stormtroopers do a little routine on the floor but the CM didn't clear the people. And yes that's me yelling "love you Captain" in the end

was that you this morning? I was basically walking right behind whoever took those pics this morning

FYI for those with noise sensitivity there's one big boom during the show, in the Vader section.

I am really out of the loop...I thought the fireworks already premiered? They haven't?

there's a current fireworks show "Symphony in the Stars" that is scheduled until April 30th. There was an announcement for a new fireworks/projection/laser show starting in the "Summer" called Star Wars A Galactic Spectacular, screens have been installed on either side of the GMR and they are building support systems for the projectors but no opening date has been given
Here's concept art of the new one

 

[yulilin3]

As you can see from the concept art the fireworks will be to the side because they can't use the current launching place because of construction. Both the screens that you see on either side of GMR have already been installed

Haha no I've been sitting at home all day.

Thank you! I appreciate all of your information today - I've been following along here and on FB.

Thanks!! What makes the current show Star Wars themed? Is it the music? Do they have it every night? Where is the best location to see it?
