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

[Iowamomof4]

I'm so excited DH and I decided to try for a short trip in June
We arrive on 6/16, head home on 6/19
But we get to do the following new things (provided there are no unexpected delays)
6/16 or 18 (whichever looks better weather-wise) Tiffins dinning package for Jungle Book show and Nighttime Safari
6/17 New Soarin' film
6/17 New Star Wars fireworks w/dessert party
And there's something else I'm forgetting
Love getting in so many new things in one trip

When does the new stage show at the castle start? Will you get to see that?

I need you to tell me how to get to see this again. Can you post here or PM me??

 

[yulilin3]

it won't let me link it. If you go on facebook search for the page: Streaming Disney. You can join and watch. We use fb live so you can get a notification when any of us are live. I think there's someone live now from Typhoon Lagoon

Right now they wish to advertise AK and push people there. Think they want to kind of underplay HS till they get some of the construction done.

 

[yulilin3]

I actually have things to do but for some reason I keep refreshing the DIS... like waiting for something to pop up.

We will be at the dessert party on the 17th too!!

I have to admit, I'm bummed to be missing the new SW fireworks by just a week. I'd rather miss it by a month! But I should still get to see the old version, so I'll deal with it. My only concern is... does this mean all the construction walls for the new show will still be up? I've dealt with walls before and it isn't a huge deal, but I like to have proper expectations, haha.

I don't think so. They should be in full testing mode (overnight) by that point, one would think.

If you see us, hollar. I'll be in purple hair

There are only walls around the 2 projection towers, to be honest I'm not sure if they will still be up since the walls don't really block the projectors. There are also walls next to One Man's Dream and ABC Commissary, those should be down cause that's where some of the projections will be, well, you know, projected

Will do - you do the same. We will be a party of 5 adults(7 if DD and her boyfriend can join us). Just shout out LeiLani(not usually too many of those around) and I will answer.

We will be at the Star Wars dessert party on 6/17 also! Have never done a f/w dessert party, but I am thinking it will be worth it to not fight the crowds for a good spot.

Just how crowded will HS be on 6/17? Do you think park will reach or be near capacity? If so, are people with dessert party ressies let in?

So excited!

it'll be crowded, I've never seen Disney use words like most elaborate fireworks display in this park’s history it will attract a lot of people.
Not sure if it will reach capacity but if you have dinning reservations, like dessert party, you will be let in unless it's a complete closure and I don't think it'll reach that
Someone can probably post a link to the different levels of capacity

I've only ever seen capacity info posted for MK. It would be interesting to see it for other parks. I assume they would have various phases like they do for MK. I'm so happy we aren't traveling until after Thanksgiving! We should know a lot more about what to expect by then (I hope).

Fun!

I don't think there will be any issues with not getting in with an ADR. They'll have similar closure plans for HS I'm sure. MK closes to on site or those with ADR extremely rarely. We are going to be at Epcot earlier in the day and going to HS just for the dessert party

I am trying to figure out if we might be better off staying at BWI. We are at POR right now but can get BWI for $200 more, total. It might be nice to be able to walk back after the fireworks

Though we don't have a problem hanging back and letting things clear out after the show

 

[MarieLightning]

the last couple of times it has been only a month in advance.
For example they released the dessert parties for June this past Monday.

Could we possibly assume this may change however based on the fact that they seemed to be wanting to make this a more permanent, nightly fixture?

For example, when we booked our August trip last month, we were able to book a Wishes dessert party, so those are out a while in advance. We ended up canceling it cause we don't like the new setting (I don't see why people doing same day reservations get the best viewing spots??) and we figured if we were paying for a dessert party, we'd rather do it for this one

But seeing as what would be happening with the SW fireworks in June was still up in the air with the old show and the new show and so on, could that have had something to do with the late releases?

All speculations of course. I'm really just throwing this out there cause I'm hoping I'll get to book one for August sooner than mid July
