@yulilin3 Thanks for posting the photo of the "allergy box" ... One of my nephews is allergic to most tree nuts +seasame +pumpkin seeds, so good to know he will have options.

Am I correct in assuming the chef would also be able to tell us which, if any, of the regilar offerings are safe?

As others have posted, Disney just take my money already!

There is an r2d2 cupcake and flat bread. They took away the biscuits and the ice cream cart

Oh no not your favorite biscuits!

 

[Lsdolphin]

That's still there, the nitro blast
Ok didn't see them inside but they do have a table of chewie steins in the outside roped area, so no more filing them with goodies. Bring your containers

Hopefully the stormtroopers won't mind someone bringing in a container!

I'm bummed they took away the Bailey's drink, the ice cream, Darth maul eclairs, and the biscuits! Eating in AC in or near the Cantina with characters around sounds awesome though! I'm not sure how I feel about the kids area for us since very few people could stay near their children.

If I cant be near my kids (Its just going to be me and 2 of my kids) then I'd rather have them in the back with me. Is that allowed? I'd rather do that then stand alone and away from them...they are 9 and 12. If i stand in the back where all the room is, will they still be able to see?

No one will force you to separate from your kids. They will be able to see from anywhere in the viewing area. Disney was clearly just trying to fix the "my kids can't see with adults in front of them" complaint and created the separate space. No CM will make your kids stay in that area.

Thanks!

Glad to know you can still see from the back even if you're short.. (I'm barely 5'2)

I'm super short, and I've never had issues seeing from the dessert party viewing areas.

 

[HubbDave]

Thanks for the great info

Still no August dates

You're taller than me.

I've never had trouble from the party viewing area either.

are strollers allowed in the cantina or the viewing area? I also babywear, so I can wear our 10 month old if that's easier

 

[DVC4US]

@yulilin3 - thanks so much for the pics and update on the new party location. Bummed about the new drink offerings - I liked the old ones - but I will give the new ones a try. I'll be there on the 31st with my daughter and her boyfriend to check out the new location.

Also, I will be around on July 30th by myself so if you have plans to be there let me know, I would love to see you again.

My kids could have stayed with me in the back, but it would have been much harder for them to see. They are 7 and 9 and they did well in the kids' area once they knew to stay put (they are rarely on their own like that). I could see them and the fireworks at the same time even though there were people between us. It also seemed like there were some CM's keeping an eye on them. A heads up before heading to the fireworks would have helped, though, so I could prepare them (and myself).

 

[BraveLittleToaster2]

Thanks! @cmsb

I think I will likely leave the dessert party early to get a spot in front to be near them? What time do they escort people out and how far in advance should I head out there?

You can definitely have a stroller in the launch bay. It's a big, open area with a ramp. However, the roped off area can get crowded and is narrow due to the table locations, so it may be hard to maneuver to get food and drinks. You could also have a stroller at the fireworks. Again, it is crowded, so make sure you are one of the first over to get a decent spot.

They took us out at 9:15. There were already people there, so some people headed out earlier. As long as you leave before the big group, you will be fine.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I defintely will be watching additional reports of how this works as I have 3 small kids 7, 4, and 2) and wouldn't want to be separated so may look to leave a bit early

Yes the chef can walk with you and explain each of the offerings

Strollers are NOT allowed inside Launch Bay. In the old dessert party set up (with the tableas and dessert tables) they used to allow strollers I didn't really pay attention last night but I would think they still do allow strollers for the outdoor viewing area

I'm not going to be around on the 30th, my daughter is doing Sjrek the Musical and that's one of the nights of the show. Have fun and make sure to report back

Thanks! @cmsb

They escort everyone out at 9:15pm. I saw people grabbing spots as early as 9am. So you could leave by 9pm

Like I said yesterday, if you stand in the back there's plenty of room to move around. Last night was a good night to review because it was a sold out party and they still had some room. If you want your kids to be in the kids area then I would suggest you get the spot earlier than everyone else, so around 9pm for the 9:30 fireworks
