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

[blackpearl77]

We did HS yesterday. The phasma march was cool. The show following it was awesome esp to see all those characters come out. Met chewbacca (photo pass took 12 pictures! Came out awesome!! About 10 minute wait even though it said 25 minutes. Kylo ren wait was like 2 minutes (and that said 25 minutes too). He was a little scary. He did not like my Rey shirt!! Those photo pass pictures came out really dark. My 5 year old, as we were walking out, turned around to give him the force choke and he ran after us out the door saying none of your Jedi tricks!! That was cool!! Traded with the jawas. My son traded a gold coin and got a princess ring - he tried to trade it back but the Jawa wouldn't. Ewww girl you! Haha Good thing I had a bunch of trade items. Traded again traded a green bead necklace from st pattys day and he got a droid head from the make your own droids (which we just did so now he has an extra head) so he was psyched!! I didn't see anyone else trading with him. Not sure if anyone knew they could?? Got the new scenes in star tours but I miss the old one since no darth Vader now. Got a bb8 sipper and a chewbacca mug!!! Missed the fireworks since it wasn't our day.

They are inside Launch Bay, no set schedule but they are there almost all day. You can bring shiny things like beads, fake coins, key chains, pins.

There was a jawa inside lanch bay when we were there on Monday AM. He posed for pictures and traded with some others around. Unfortunately, I left our shiny stuff in the stroller! D'oh!

I left my shiny stuff back at the resort! However, we did some quick thinking and came up with a dollar store emergency poncho that was still in its wrapper and a metallic colored sharpie. They were only too happy to trade for those. DD ended up getting a shell necklace and DS got a rolling bug toy - pretty good trade!

Can someone explain the trading? Thanks!

The Jawas are in the Launch Bay, they wander freely and will trade items with you. They like shiny things. It's a lot of fun. When I was there in February I had a shiny small pouch to trade and I got a BB8 part. I guess not everyone knows about them, there was a teen girl there who offered to take pics with my phone for me and kept telling her dad how cool it was-she got some great pics of our exchange.


Found this cute video on youtube:

I may have overlooked it, but is there a fireworks dessert party for the new fireworks that start this month? We are traveling in Sept and hoping to attend unless it has already been released for booking. I haven't been too good with my pre-planning this time around.

I thought I read on here that Kylo Ren talks at his M&G? We were there this past Monday and he didn't talk at all. Did we just catch him on a bad day?

Also, not sure if this has been posted here already, but about 10-15 mins before the Star Wars: Galaxy Far Far Away show starts, all the characters come out from the left side of the Great Movie Ride (when facing it) and walk to the back of the stage. My 5 year old and I stumbled upon it accidentally and it was like a mini-parade of all of our favorite characters! Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, storm troopers, Boba Fett, Chewie, Captain Phasma, & Darth Maul. There was hardly anyone around and we were right up front. We went back again a couple hours later with DD and DH to show them before another show. It was one of the highlights of our trip

We met Ren twice and he spoke each time.

Chewie however only spoke 1 of 2 times.

Great interaction on all occasions.

Kylo spoke for us on Monday.

We did the regular Kylo meet and the Disney Visa meet and he spoke both times. Very creepy!

Trading with Jawas is a hoot. I got a little trinket bag made with their image appliquéd on it. They go crazy over it every time. On our last trip they decided to trade a trinket for DGD, they took her off to a corner and started to pet her and pet her bag. We just stood there waiting and finally one of their handlers talked to them and scolded them for taking her and told them they had to give her back. They walked her back to us and gave us her hand. It was hilarious to see them pouting that they couldn't keep their prize

It hasn't been released yet, times for fireworks or the dessert party. My guess is yes they will have a dessert party, I'm also waiting to book for September.

Dessert parties have only been announced through the end of June (i keep checking every day if they will have them available for our July trip, nothing yet) ... but the new show start s mid-month so the 2nd half of the month is the dessert party with the new show - but nothing known beyond that

Ha!

So glad to read this - definitely want to try this at our next visit if I can get my rather shy DD to do it!

I even found a collage of pics, shows the bag, which is perfect to carry trading items
We bring spares to share since so many don't know about it

 

[Meech Loves Mickey]

Hi, My boys plan on wearing their Kylo Ren costumes for the meet and greet. Just wondering if any adults are cosplaying/Disneybounding at HS. I would really like to Disney Bound as Rey.... Has anyone else done this?

Please share your pics!

If I may take a moment with my Star Wars DIS family.
I am trying very hard to get back to "normal". Yesterday's events have shaken Orlando to the core. Being latina (most of the victims in Pulse were latin), a mom of a bisexual kid (my 15 year old daughter) and having a kid that works for Universal it has affected us in every single way.
The names are trickling out and so far we have 26 confirmed victims of which one worked in the same vicinity as my son, 2 victims were friends of a close friend of mine and there's unofficial word that there are at least 13 CM dead.
When you guys come on your vacations be extra nice to the CM and TM you encounter. We are all in mourning right now. The beautiful collage of pictures from yesterday's entertainment at both theme parks proves that we all stand united.
Thank you for reading
