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

[yulilin3]

If I am reading all these posts correctly, the dessert party dates for July will not open up until a month out? I am used to the Wishes Dessert party and even Osbourne Lights. This month out thing really messes with other plans, especially with the Jungle Book FPP I am trying to make.

It's a brand new show and t his is why I think they are releasing the info very late. Once the show proves to be popular and consistent in the tech dept. then they might open up months in advance

One more question since this thread is so super helpful all the time

If we use EMH at HS for Jedi training sign up, how early should we plan to be at the gates for an 8am EMH open?

7:45am should be fine

Great - if that holds for the 3rd that means we can see Fantasmic at 8:30 and hit the party pretty comfortably (So long as it doesn't rain. )

Yup you're right! I had that flipped with the park closing at 8:30!

Those July hours will extend though, pretty sure they even might add a F!

Yay! I was able to get one of the new dates for the dessert party and cancel my other reservation. I think my plans for our June trip are finally done!!

I just did the same!

I doubt my parents can stay up that late for a later Fantasmic show!

No one really knows what Disney is doing. Now that they have an official opening date maybe they will get better at updating everything.

FPs for the JB show are already out for July. I can see all the way until 7/22 and FPs are available.

My FPP day is Wednesday. From what I see it is not hard getting FPP for the JB show or safari afterwards.

We will be at DHS in 2 weeks, so seeing the "old" Symphony in the Stars. Is it the same as we saw at SWW last June? We sat alongside Echo Lake near H&V, which was a nice location as far as crowds and having a landscaping ledge to sit on, but I can't remember if we had wished we sat elsewhere/had anything blocked from our view of the show. Where is the most recommended seating area for these fireworks?

The show is similar, but better. We watched from Echo Lake in February, and while the view was great, we could not hear the music very well (which is such an integral part of the show!). Not sure if that's been improved since then or if it just depends on the way the wind is blowing? But to be fully immersed, watch from Hollywood Blvd.

I read somewhere that the music is clearer and maybe louder now? Personally, I haven't done it, so I wouldn't know.

Echo Lake is good and since they re-did Center Stage you can hear the music and dialogue better. Also a good place would be to get table and benches at Min and Bills, better if you get the ones in front

We'll be there in a few days.. can't wait!!!

I watched it in Jan & Feb at the upper end of Hollywood Blvd near the turn to go down Sunset Blvd and in March from the lower end near the exit and right where F! lets out, we could hear it perfectly each time. As @yulilin3, the Echo Lake area might be better now that they have re-done the stage.

It's the same area so you are fine, no need to do anything

Looks like there will be several of us from the DIS there on the 17th. We will be there - party of 5 adults!

@yulilin3 - will you be there?
