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

There seems to be problems with the whole reservation system today. I had to refresh a bunch of times to book the dessert party and since then I've been trying to add a dinner reservation but it keeps telling me there is a problem searching for reservations.

you can try calling 407 WDW DINE

Does this dessert party not have chairs?

It does not, it has high bar tables and about 6 low tables in the front for wheelchairs and their families. If no wheelchairs are in the night of the party other guests can use them

So are the high bar tables tall enough that a child would not be able to use them comfortably? I have a 9 yo going, and he is about 4'6".

I had the same problem. I finally was able to get the dessert party. I had to just keep clicking the search.

We just did the dessert party on Monday and it was amazing. It rained so they moved the dessert party inside Disney junior which was a nice break from the heat. About ten minutes before show time they escorted us down to the seating area.

There are lower tables in the front reserved for those in wheelchairs. If they are not being used the night you are there, you might be able to grab one of those. My DD who is about the same height had trouble using the high tops.

We just made reservations for the desert party for June 3rd, we can not wait!!!

Oh dear we have FP for TT from 8:00 to 9:00. Do you think with around 8:15 we could still get a good seat?

I'm trying to figure out my evening at HS with the party. We will be at AK until about 3:30. I want to have something for dinner before the party. Maybe something kind of light because we will be filling up on desserts at the party, but something to offset the sugar overload. Do you usually just grab CS before the party? If so, where? I appreciate any suggestions.

We started our day at ak and then moved to the hs around 2. I would recommend flame tree at ak. We ordered the combo and spilt it. Plus it helped having some food with the booze at the party.

That's Tower of Terror and not Test Track right?
All tables have a good view of the fireworks it's just that the tables in the center you would have to walk around all the people, I prefer the tables closer to the ropes in the front. If you get there by 8:15pm you should be fine

Thanks balloonewb! We are having an early lunch at Yak & Yeti, but can't leave AK until about 3:30 or 4:00. We have no other plans at HS other than the dessert party. I was wanting to eat something around 6 or so to offset all the sugar at the party. The only CS I have ever had at HS was Starring Rolls, which is really good, but I haven't heard very many good reviews about the other CS places in HS and I can't get an ADR at Prime Time or Sci-fi this late in the game. What to do, what to do???

They are opening 3 food kiosks, like food and wine) around Echo Lake. They are opening tomorrow, I'm going there and I'll give you my impressions. Starring Rolls closes early, Starbucks has some good sandwiches, you might also want to look into Writer's Stop.

 

[JeninTexas]

Thanks @yulilin3! I am looking forward to hearing what you think about the kiosks. I'll look at Writer's Stop too.

I've got to admit that I was a little disappointed to see the dessert party bookings released. I was hoping that if they weren't, that was a sign that a big announcement was coming tomorrow that beginning 6/5, the new fireworks would start. I'm still not giving up hope! A girl can dream, right?

So, I went ahead and booked the party on 6/8, but I don't know if I want to spend the money for the party when I can see the fireworks from other locations. It's the projections with the new fireworks that I really felt I needed to have that reserved spot for.

Also, my 9 year old has peanut and tree nut allergies, so he can't partake in the goodies like the rest of us. @yulilin3, I remember you posting about those little cake jars from the Merry & Bright dessert party -- did they have them at the SW dessert party, too? Did they have any cross-contamination warnings on them that you remember? Do you think I should also email special diets (the email they provide on the dining confirmation if you checked that you have allergies in your party) just to make sure they have something?

I'm in your boat, too - I was also hoping for the new show and extremely disappointed that, as of now, we are only to expect the existing show. However, I figured I could at least book the party that I know they'll have and can always cancel. As it is, I'm hopping into the park just for the fireworks as our planned HS day is the day before. If they open up more shows, then we could cancel. If it looks like it might rain, then we can cancel. However, if I don't book anything then, my luck, it will sell out and I won't even have had the choice. But, like you, I'm still hoping they'll get their act together and get the new show in place starting on the 5th!!

FYI think I read somewhere Writers Stop is closing on 28th

I'm going to have to try those tonarrow as well.

We are heading to hs for our fantasmic dinner at mama melrose.

What's the best way to leave fantasmic and get a good or decent spot for he fireworks?

We will also be at AK the day of our dessert party! I had been hoping for Jungle Book of Light, but this is the only night we can make Star Wars Fireworks during our trip, so Jungle Book was tossed.

Our plan is to have appetizers/light meal at Rainforest Cafe as we leave the park about 5:30. After that we'll head on over to DHS. That should tide us over until 8:45!
