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

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Ssdt hahaha. Which if you don't get the Stephen King reference, it usually means same s*** different day, for us that could be same s*** different thread.

Of course I'm referencing the lack of anyone knowing anything that isn't about two weeks out.

I feel pretty safe for the new SW fire works since my trip isn't until the end of July. But who really knows.

I, too, am missing star wars weekends. Even the new sw land will pale in comparison to the fun and sense of unity those events brought about. I'm considering the SW celebration in Orlando (I attended the Indy celebrations back in the day), but even those aren't the same as sww

We have 10 days until our trip! It appears the dessert party on the 28th is sold out! Glad we bought our tickets early. Any advice? What time would you recommend us to check in and grab a table? @yulilin3

You can line up an hour before if you want a table toward the front of the viewing area. I like the tables closer to the ropes because it's easier to move around

Does anybody know when they will be releasing the June schedule for the new galactic spectacular show?

Like others have said, we are all still waiting, as soon as I our anyone has new info I update the first page

 

[Skywise]

Where are you seeing the extended DHS hours for the first week of June? I'm still seeing 8:30 closing every night (aside from Friday EMH nights) from May 30 into July and beyond.

I don't show that DHS hours have been updated for first week in June. Still shows closing at 8:30.

Sorry, sorry My bad - I misremembered MK's hours extension as DHS'!

Hi Guys..Our next Disney trip begins June 8th (coming soon). I've been crazy this past year with family illnesses, hospitals, Drs. and everything else that I haven't had much time to keep up with the new SW happenings at DHS. In fact I just made FP+ selections for this trip yesterday...way late for me!
Anyway, I've been trying to go thru this thread but 300+ pages is a lot. I hope I'm not being redundant, but can anyone help with info on following:
Looks like new things will be coming Memorial Day weekend and the schedule is still not available. Are there any special SW events I should be reserving tickets for now? Dessert party?
I noticed there's going to be a Kylo Ren M&G that has FP+ but I've seen no indication of such when selecting FP+...is that also still a "waiting for to happen" thing?
Other SW M&G (Chewie, etc) are going to be in animation court yard - right? Again, will they have FP+ or just standby?
I just saw Disney Visa has a special SW meet and greet for card holders (noon to 4p?) Does anyone know where that is?
We actually first booked this trip in hopes of being there for another SWW (last year was our fist and my son loved it) but then everything changed so I'm just trying to figure out what I need to be aware of as far as SW and DHS goes for my son. My 2 goals for this trip is to experience the new SW offerings and to see AK at night.
We're gong again in October for MNSSHP & F&W so MK and EPCOT can take a bit of a back seat this trip - especially since we'll only have 5 full days.


Thanks for your help and patience.

Sorry about your struggles, hope things are looking better
First page has all current info
The new SW Fireworks show, A Galactic Spectacular still has no opening date, nothing has been announced for June yet so stay tuned
Kylo Ren and chewbacca meet inside launch bay (old animation building) they do not have fp
There's disney visa credit card meet with Kylo Ren, 11-4 inside launch bay as well
If after reading the first page you have questions let us know

 

[Wendybird55]

Thanks for the info yulilin! I'll do some more reading (hopefully today). It would be great if the Galactic Spectacular was filling the skies when we go, but if not, I figure we can catch it when we're back in October.

Hmmmmm, Josh (EasyWDW) tweeted this just a little while ago: "looks like star wars fireworks are only going to be scheduled on 13 nights in june the 1st, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29"

I don't know where he's received this information.
Any word on your end, @yulilin3?

 

[BridgetR3]

Are these the old or new fireworkS?

 

[ErinF]

Are these the old or new fireworkS?

Someone asked him that and he said: "i dont know when they will be switching over (not sure they do either)"

not sure where he's getting that, checked the HUB on multiple tabs and no new info there, also checked MDE and the WDW site. Times for DHS for June haven't changed at all

 

[cvjpirate]

Hope the info isn't correct. If it is I will miss the fireworks this trip.

Could he be assuming based on the May schedule?

Me too! Our DHS days are 6/7 and 6/11. I am so incredibly frustrated being less than 3 weeks out from my trip and still having no idea what will be going on.

Ok good, thanks for checking!!

Hope the info isn't correct. If it is I will miss the fireworks this trip.

I hope it's wrong as well, or I'll have to switch some things around at the last minute.

Could he be assuming based on the May schedule?

Maybe so. I just hope he is wrong and the old rumor of new ones starting on June 5th and going nightly thereafter proves correct!

 

[Music City Mama]

Hope the info isn't correct. If it is I will miss the fireworks this trip.

I won't miss them entirely if this is correct, but I'll only get to see them once and/or I'm going to have rearrange my schedule yet again.

 

[yulilin3]

Not sure @ArielSRL I have a friend that works at GMR and she also does crowd control during fireworks and she was telling me just yesterday how she hopes that the new show will be every night because only doing it a couple of nights a week makes the area super crowded...so she didn't have any new info yesterday.

 

[ArielSRL]

We are okay if its true because 6/10 is our full DHS day however, like @yulilin3 said, it would probably be packed to the gills and I won't be a happy camper if that's the case.

 

[Cluelyss]

This doesn't even match the current schedule, if he was guessing based on that?

 

[Wendy12]

Ah drats, we are in the same boat. 6/11 is our afternoon/evening in DHS.
