At the dessert party now (well sitting on a bench waiting for it to open). If anyone is interested in attendance, lead cm just said there are 130 tonight, there were 160 yesterday, but only 90 the day before that.

What is considered a sellout?

I hope you enjoy it!

Launch Bay characters are there all day, even during EMH. Olaf regular park hours only. And yes, the Chase M&G is 11-4.

Cool thanks. I just wanted to make sure so we didn't just walk around aimlessly in the morning. We r going to do some stuff tonight so don't have to worry about rides in the morning. I appreciate it.

Has anyone who has attended the dessert party recently been successful at catching the second showing of Fantasmic after the fireworks are over? I know that there is not always a 2nd Fantasmic, but I was hoping that someone might have done this and how difficult it was.

Sellout is 200

When the party has been inside in the past, can you leave with an alcoholic drink in hand, or is it like a restaurant and it needs to be finished prior to leaving?

I booked the dessert party for 7/11 and I'm wondering if I should change my touring plan since the party will be inside Launch Bay then?

Background: It's my niece (9), nephew (7) and myself. My nephew is obsessed with Star Wars so we need to get all things SW done that day.

Current Plan: PPO at H&V to sign up for training academy, head to Launch Bay when the park opens and see that and do the meet and greets, Star Tours FP at 10, JTA 11 o'clock show, TSMM FP, then we have a lunch ADR at Primetime Cafe at 12:15.

I was hoping to take a break right after lunch but we will still need to do Frozen sing-a-long, I would like to do GMR and my nephew wants to build a light saber (going to Disney springs not an option), which I know will take up a fair amount of time. SO, basically, if we could do Launch Bay and the meet and greets during (or right before) the party, it would free up our morning but I also want to make sure my nephew gets time to see/do it all so I'm hesitant to not do our must-dos right away. I know we won't know anything for sure until the 10th but do any of you Star Wars attractions experts have any advice? I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to put things off because I usually end up paying for it by missing out. Also, are the jawas out in the evening? Basically, when will be the best time/what is the best plan to make all my nephew's Star Wars dreams come true??

If launch bay is a priority I would leave the plans as they are. You could do launch bay before the party and that should be enough time for you nephew to enjoy it.
It looks to me like you have a pretty relaxed plan which is good so you could always play it by ear.
You could sign up for JT and then go build the lightsaber, the lines will be minimal for that in the morning, and then do launch bay in the evening. Jawas come out all day

Not difficult at all. You'll have enough time to make the 10:30 F!

You can leave with drink and food in hand or in container

It looks like they're playing the desert party setup by ear. Since tonight's not sold out they are not using all the space to the left.
Asked and they have no clue how the set up will be inside launch bay

 

[thumpermom]

Nope

Thanks so much for this and all your valuable info!

8:30pm and there's not a lot of people grabbing spots, I think it's the heat.

 

[yulilin3]

In my spot right in front of GMR, no one here.
I can see the left screen, the Chinese theater and about half of the right screen. There's thunder in the distance

 

[JayLeeJay]

9:06 and area in front of stage is filling up but still some room to fit in

I'm calling that sound fireworks because we think we left our ponchos in the car

Yeah, fireworks
Did you grab the table we talked about?

 

[JayLeeJay]

Did you grab the table we talked about?

Yes we did! The people behind us had us worried when they started talking about running to the tables but they weren't paying attention when we entered so we had a bit of a head start.

We also have a plate of biscuits for you.

 

[gzmtlock]

Looks yummy!

At the risk of sounding like a lush, do they limit the number of drinks you can get?

At the risk of appearing to be a lush, I will share. . .

We did the party for the previous fireworks show. When I went back for my third Jack Daniels and whatever the mixer was (it was good!), the bartender in a friendly way said, "the force is strong with you!"

No, they do not limit you.
