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

[yulilin3]

Looking for a little help while I'm helping my friend plan her November trip.

She's planning one day in DHS on 11/7/16. She would like to do Minnies's Holiday Dine, Fantasmic and SW Fireworks (if offered). With the park currently showing a closing time of 7 PM, that seems like a tall order.

First, I haven't been keeping up to date on all the SW stuff. Do we think there will be fireworks in November still?

Second, with a closing time of 7 PM, is there an educated guess I should help her make on what time Fantasmic and fireworks would be?

Thanks for helping me focus my crystal ball...........

Park hours will most likely be extended, the new fireworks show will be here, the times are changing all the time so just keep the plans as flexible and be ready to change them once the park hours and fireworks times are announced

Thanks Yulilin! That's pretty much what I thought. And what I was afraid of..... all at once. The problem of course is that if she gets a Minnie's Holiday Dine ADR she likely will no longer have any flexibility. I told her to just go as early as possible. So far there's nothing available at 180+10, but I told her it's highly likely they just haven't been loaded yet since that's the first night for it.

Thanks again.

Is the Galactic Spectacular Dessert party at DHS able to be cancelled? Our plans are still up in the air for if we want to do Fantasmic or the Star Wars Fireworks on our DHS night, but if we do the fireworks I am thinking we might like the dessert party just to avoid fighting the crowds for a place to see them from. However, on the booking page for the fireworks it doesn't say anything about a cancellation policy anywhere that I can see. Since we aren't sure yet, I don't want to book if we can't cancel. I would assume it is 2 days, like the fantasmic package, but I want to be sure before I book. I know I could call, but that takes forever and doing it online is so easy.

I imagine this info is somewhere in this thread, I'm sorry if it's obvious and I missed it! I did scroll through the first page quickly before I posted, but I just can't read another 300+ page thread (I'm following too many of those already !) So thank you to anyone who knows and will take pity on me and spoon feed me the answer .

The dessert party has a cancellation policy of 1 day. So you can cancel the day prior to your date and get fully refunded.

Any official news yet on the June schedule for SW fireworks or dessert parties?

 

[yulilin3]

Just a couple of related and unrelated comments to start the week.
-That "see your memories" feature on Facebook is killing me, 2 years ago today I was posting the full schedule of SWW, in 2012 I was posting the coolest looking Mickey Monitor cover with Mickey and Donald in SW attire...sad
- I remember someone here on the Dis being concerned about how the Invictus Games opening ceremonies would affect the parks. Well yesterday coming back home from my mom's I had to take a detour cause some streets close to my house were closed because I live close to the airport and Air Force One was there
- Did my checking the HUB routine and nothing yet on fireworks after May 28th I wouldn't worry just yet, they haven't updated anything for AK that's happening that weekend either so there's still hope.
-Phasma's March is changing times, now she marches at 10am, 11am, 12 noon, 1:45pm, 3pm and 4pm. First page has been updated

I have been following for about a year now and just wanted to chime in and say thanks for all the info... I believe we have a nice day planned even though I had to do some swapping of days just recently.... My question is do Chewie and Kylo Ren sign autographs? It looks like ... no.

so happy that we've been able to help you plan, Unfortunately they don't sign autographs

 

[ssreward]

actually no, not sure if there still are any but as of May 4th evening they still had them...do you want me to check for you? I'll probably go to DHS this week

Now I feel bad for paying twice list price for my 3 sets on eBay...didn't think we were allowed to ask those sort of favors here & I so would've preferred giving the $$$ to a fellow DISer, lol!!

At Hollywood Studios today and I did a quick glance behind the register and they have some of the magicbands left.

Oh I am sure someone has posted about this in the thread, however I couldn't find it (so I apologize if this is a repeat)......Are there any SW characters that sign autographs? Didn't know if I should make a book for the kids or not.

There are only 2 meetable characters, Chewbacca and Kylo Ren, and they don't sign

I went back to the store and they have a bunch of shirts (mostly the orange may the 4th) along with the water bottle and Christmas ornaments.

We did the dessert party last night & had an amazing time. Thank you @yulilin3 for the advice on selecting a table. Our view was perfect! I would not pay for the Wishes party but I would absolutely do this one again, if that helps anyone who is on the fence. Nice desserts/snacks, kind CMs, not too crowded... just a wonderful experience.

There were plenty of empty tables in the back so it seems that the event is not selling out. Tickets should be fairly easy to come by.

Note... more than one family was letting their small children sit/play on the ground. This is Florida. There are giant roaches out there. (Not hating on you, FL. I'm from Brooklyn. They're a fact of life. They would survive the nuclear apocalypse.) We saw at least three of them last night (or the same persistent roach three times, but who's counting). I would probably arrange alternate "entertainment" for my children.

I've seen people sitting down there multiple times. One time, everyone in front of the dessert party area sat during the entire fireworks show. I guess I wouldn't worry about it too much.
