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

[Jennasis]

Yeah, thats what it looks like. Our DHS day is Thurs 5/5. Looks like no fireworks for us unless they add them.

I...I............

I don't know what to say. Our trip is booked and planned, and the fireworks were an integral part of our plan. This was SUPPOSED to have been our SWW trip until they bagged that so we decided to make do with a modified SW/F&G trip instead and now this??? Time to rearrange. Thank GOD we bought AP's and are staying at BWV. Wasn't planning on this much park hopping, but whatever.

It is probably unlikely they will be added.

Thursday nights are when Disney After Hours takes place in MK. They probably want that ticketed event to be the main draw on Thursdays.

Do you really think that's true? But now that you point it out the missing fireworks days do suspiciously line up with DAH. If so there's exhibit A for all the people saying DAH will have no effect on non hard ticket paying guests. Argh!! That is so frustrating.

We don't have park hoppers so there's no way for us to switch days without losing TSMM FPs, BBB, and CRT.

I'm really cheesed off about this even though I have a work around (a frustrating one that creates much more running and inconvenience for us). We were planning DHS all day Saturday. Now we'll likely have to leave Epcot on Friday without seeing Illuminations and run over to DHS just for the fireworks. Plus that's an EMH park so it's going to be so much more crowded. But if I switch our Epcot and DHS days, the F&G festival is going to be more crowded on a Saturday than a Friday. I suppose we'll also have to leave DHS now on Saturday and run back over to Epcot to enjoy Illuminations. Guess I can't expect my cake and eat it too.

While I am certainly happy that we are going to get to see Star Wars fireworks on our trip now, I am a little bit taken aback that viewings will be more limited. Fortunately we park hop and already planned on being in DHS on a Friday night for EMH. We should be able to see both F! and SitS that night, yes? Or is it too close to cut it?

Dessert party dates are loaded in the calendar for May!!! But...they are unbookable. I called worried that it was sold out and they told me that they are experiencing website glitches today and while they are available for viewing, they are not yet released to be booked and to check back in 24 to 48 hours. The CM I spoke to was beyond nice and at first she could find availability for 2 but not for 6 which is what I needed and set me in a panic since it's for my son's birthday and I couldn't figure out how I was going to swing that. Much rather it be not available to book yet than sold out! So, it looks like the dessert party will happen in May!

For those that have gone, how hard has it been to book?! I'm wondering how much I have to constantly refresh the site in the next 24-48 hours!

I don't think they have been selling out usually. May 4th and 5th could be busier though, if offered on those days.

Great, thank you! We are there the next week.

Murphy's Law: I've been watching for these May days like a hawk. And when they finally show up...they're unbookable! Figures.

Was just coming here to post the same thing! Normally it's a day after they load that they're bookable. I don't think any of them have sold out yet, so no need to glue yourself to the computer!!

We are in the same boat except that I have a Fantasmic dining package that can't be changed along with fastpasses. I just called to ask about it and of course the CM didn't know what I was talking about. I'm adding up all the stuff we thought we would see with this trip and now I'm ticking off all the stuff I won't because Disney announces changes 3 weeks before we are set to arrive.

Does anyone know if Disney will allow a 15 and 17 year old attend the dessert party without mom and dad being present?

I would say Yes. Anyone 14 or older can enter the park without needing to be accompanied by an adult. They can take part in any ticketed event so they'll be fine.

Agreed, they obviously won't be able to have any of the alcoholic drinks

I also checked and it's Club Villain that is offered every Saturday night in May. Perhaps a coincidence but I wouldn't expect SW fireworks to be added back in on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Should i change our Hollywood Studios day from (May) Sunday the 29th to Saturday the 28th so we can see the fireworks and do the dessert party? Or hold out for them to release the Memorial Day weeks schedule and hope that Sunday is included?

I am in the same boat! I am going to tentatively plan to see them on the 27th (which is not ideal, and will require significant park hopping, but at least I will have a chance to see SW fireworks!) and will book a dessert party, but if the new show ends up being released over the weekend, I will change my plans back (my original plans had me in Hollywood studios the night of June 1). First ROL, now this, you're killing me Disney!!!

The fireworks do not line up with our schedule either for 5/19-5/27.

I can't decide which day would be better to go? Wed 5/25 or Fri 5/27. We originally planned on doing MK EMH on 5/25. And I worry that 5/27 will be a super busy night at HS. The agony of planning this trip!

Any advice on which would be better?

I would do Wed. for the fireworks, but even if you go Fri. the amount of people will not affect the fireworks, there's plenty of space to see them

last weekend in May should update this Friday, maybe hold and see. I have a feeling there will be fireworks the entire Memorial weekend

 

[yulilin3]

May 11th is the only day where SitS is offered but no dessert party. Must be another media day of some sort
