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

[ktb2002]

My date is currently 730 because it's an earlier fireworks night. Is there any possibility they change it to later ? I hope not so just making sure.

Welllllllllll as proven here Disney does what Disney wants, when they want

Haha, I'm there and being on TP Community board, lots more therapy can occur.

I think some Loungers will be booking Club Villain or SW as their Rumors of Light experience.

Jungle Book is supposed to be put out of it's misery after Labor Day but no sign or whispers of RUMORS.

But hey, very excited about the SW party - and in reality maybe I will actually get work done today that the stalking is over.

I've done dessert party during SWW but never expected to do for this ...... but .....
- DS (adult & disabled) LOVES the dessert parties
- Having that reserved viewing space IS a big deal now that there is the projection show in a tight area
- Having the reserved area for him to not be crowded and panic in is priceless

Absolutely! I have an adult mentally disabled cousin and the things that bring him joy are priceless!

lol..everyone has their reasons, but when people ask me why I pay that much to watch something most others do for free...I tell them that its still cheaper then bail. I don't have to be the one knocking out the guy who walks up at showtime and stands directly in front of me after i've been waiting and doing nothing for the hour before.

looking forward to this and i think it officially puts a big red bow on my trip planning.

 

[bilnsheldodisney]

so excited for all my August buddies!!!

DS lives his whole life for WDW and all things Disney. We see smiles on his face at Disney that we NEVER EVER otherwise. Melts your heart. The characters ... they are his friends to him.

It can be tricky at times so things like this allow him to fully experience the SW fireworks and I gladly pay for it. Otherwise we would be sitting off over by 50's Prime and would miss most the projections. One year CM saw him panicking in the crowd and took us over by LM to watch (no one was allowed over there at the time). It was a side angle but all by ourselves made it awesome.

That is a very good reason!!! and I can add that to my reason list as well. I'm not imposing enough to knock them out but my mouth can surely throw a punch.

I think the key is - when others poo poo why folks would pay extra to Disney for stuff that is "free" like dessert parties, EMM etc --- there are many reasons folks are willing to pay that and it may be the only way some can really enjoy different attractions/entertainment. No one is forced to pay, there are plenty I won't pay for .... but for those that do, we all have our reasons whether it be for a guest with special needs, avoid paying bail or a love for expensive desserts.

FOR this party, it had little value with the old fireworks for me, but with the new ones AND projections which require a better location to enjoy, it's worth it.

Booked our family of 5 for 8/27. And with that, planning for the trip that starts in 37 days is complete!

Though now that I see Club Villain is back for September and October, I'm plotting a quick fall trip for that and food and wine.

 

[CharleneR]

Woo Hoo! Just booked for August 15th. I was freaking out at first because it wouldn't let me book for 4 guests saying no tables available. DH and DS11 (and myself) are super excited. DS8 has no interest in Star Wars, but does like desserts so he'll still have fun .

 

[yulilin3]

Anyone have a guess as to how long I need to allow for Launch Bay in my plan? It will be early September, so relatively low crowds. We only want to do the Chase Visa Meet, check out the Cantina / Jawas, and take a quick look around. We're not huge Star Wars fans (sorry lol). I can't quite figure out how the place is set up. Some reports talk about the meet line being not too bad, others say you have to wait in line just to get into the Launch Bay, then wait for the meet. I just would like to know what to expect / how it works. Thanks!

<aybe around 30 minutes will be enough. Remember the Disney Visa is from 11am until 4pm

Do they have the dessert party every night of the week or just certain nights?

every night

After lurking on this thread for weeks I was finally able to book for August 11th. I was lucky enough to have it go through on the website. Thanks everyone for all of the information and updates! Glad to see I'm not alone in my obsessive planning!

my reservation says 730. Is that the time we can begin to enter the party or is that the time for fireworks?

The dessert party starts, officially, 75 minutes before fireworks. But they tend to open the area earlier. For example on Sunday they opened the area around 8:00pm for the 8:15pm party 9:30pm fireworks

Waking up to 5 new pages on this thread is always good news. Congrats to everyone who booked their dates.

 

[GillianP1301]
