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

Progress on construction for A Galactic Spectacular http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions...tion-for-star-wars-a-galactic-spectacular.htm

They look like gun turrets... They should put some Deathstar guns on top of them or Hoth style turrets on top of them.

They're borderline art-deco though and I'm wondering if they're going to do something to make them fit into that 30's style architecture... maybe an arch sign over it like a city welcoming sign?

It looks horrendous in person, I also hope they do something to theme it better with the surroundings

This is what I was thinking... NOT attractive as of right now...

We just got back from WDW on Sunday morning. Thanks to everyone on this thread for all their tips (especially @yulilin3)! We had a great ol' Star Wars time in DHS. I really enjoyed Launch Bay and the Symphony in the Stars Dessert party was something special (that blue milk pannacotta!). We got a lower table right near the ropes and close to center. Even though I'd read it here first, I couldn't believe everyone sat for the fireworks! It was the best! We watched them again on our second to last night, this time over by Backlot Express where we watched from a comfy bench. So much fun!!!

I'm at HS studios today and just wanted to share that we were able to sign up for Jedi training before our 8am H&V ADR and checking in now they are telling the kids where to stand. I know there had been talk about which line fights who. I think they are filling the Vader line first but will update after the show

holy craaaaap that looks bad. and people complained about the hat taking away from the theatre and park! those projection booths look like. . . i don't even know. they stick out like sore thumbs.

Someone please help with some inside info!!!!!

I am considering a VIP tour for Black Friday. It's a big consideration for me, but one of the major 'perks' is that the woman on the phone told me I would be guaranteed a spot for JTA if I booked the tour now (said they keep 6 spots for VIP tours).

So anyway, I read that Jedi Training may not even be running on those dates!

Is this true? It directly impacts if I'm willing to spend that amount of money on the tour.

The schedule for JT comes out a month in advance, I'm sure they'll have it in November.

I'm hoping it gets themed like the projection towers at AK for the tree of life. Time is running out though so they better hurry

The post that I was referring to was old...my mistake..I deleted my question.

Great thread! I checked on the dessert party for June 19th last night. It was open, but I was hesitant to book. Is it worth the extra money? Open to all opinions. Thank you!

Sorry if this question has been asked before.......but does anyone know if the new Star Wars fireworks will continue the rest of the year? We are there the week of October 10th and the kids really want to see this......who am I kidding I really want to! Any thoughts?

I have not seen a negative review about this dessert party, if it's worth it is up to you, with the new show it looks like you would need to be very close to Center Stage to appreciate all the projections so having a reserved spot might be worth it if you don't want to wait for one for a long time

I'm sure it'll keep going unless there are some major tech. difficulties, they are building infrastructure for it so I'm sure it'll be around for a while

We did the dessert party last week and though it was great. They had both desserts and some fruit and cheese, which we enjoyed. But more inportantly it was worth it to us to have a good spot without having to stake it out and sit on the ground for a long time and deal with people jamming in and trying to protect your space. From what I understand the viewing area will be even more important with the new show, so I think the dessert part will be even more 'worth it'. We instantly agreed that these are the best fireworks we have seen at Disney, they blow Wishes out of the water and are better than Hallowishes, our previous favorite. I also think with these the music is very important, so I don't want to watch from out of the park. Just make sure you get a table without a tree in the way, it looked to us like a few of the tables just inside the entrance to the dessert party would have had some obstruction of the view. We watched them a second night without the dessert party and got a space maybe 20 min before the show, and inadvertently chose a spot with a tree in the way from where the main fireworks showed up. We still enjoyed them, but I was very glad our first viewing had been unobstructed from a great spot.

I wishe they would release the dessert parties for August, we really want to do it again! Any news on when that might happen, and if they will still be every night then?

I found a picture of the projection for the Tree of Life Awakening, I'm hopeful they can fix the 2 towers at DHS

I was just doing a quick search but didn't see it - Dessert Party is still standing only, right? People are just sitting on the ground when they do that?

So when we walk in, we should keep going to the farthest tables? Head to the right or left? Any suggestions?

Any table should be good as long as you can see behind the Chinese Theater unobstructed, so no trees. I like tables in the perimeter as it make it easier to walk around, instead of smack in the middle where you have to weave around people

We are going is September and they have yet to update hours or list out when fireworks will be held in HS. Is it expected to be every night, or only some nights like the current version star wars fireworks? If everynight, that gives us a bit of flexibility on our plans.
