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

[kaybee1476]

Not to mention they have to be making good money on the dessert parties! MSEP didn't bring in revenue, but since they obviously don't have a problem getting people to spend a crazy amount of money for desserts and prime fireworks viewing, I can't imagine they'd put a stop to it.

I've looked through the last several pages and I'm a little confused, have sign ups for JTA changed? We have an 8:05 H&V breakfast on 10/22 and DS8 is so excited to do anything SW. He is also very excited to see the fireworks show but we are not doing the dessert party as the littles will likely crash and DH just isn't a fan (he also doesn't like F! or spending money at Disney so yay...)
With a PPO breakfast, what is currently the best way to sign up for JTA?
Thanks!

I sure hope so, planning to buy 10 tickets for Dec. 21.... hear that Disney? Please keep it through the holidays! I think this is the ONLY thing my sister' family is really looking forward to.

I've heard that they have been giving out anytime fp when you sign up for JT, this had been going on for a while so you could use those for RnRC. I wouldn't rely on them 100% but it's been going on for a while. I think that if you're there at rope drop, sign up for jt and then go to RnRC you should be fine. It's about a 5 minute walk

that's cool. are they only good that day or are they good any day? and do they give them out even if you sign up during morning extra magic hours?

also while I am thinking about it (and unrelated) what time do people recommend you show up for EMH to be able to sign up and still take advantage of the full EMH? I read a great report on this thread from someone who signed up between 7:45 and the 8AM time when they let people actually into the rides... 7:30 then?

Thanks!

Just spoke to a phone cast member (admittedly hit or miss with reliable info) about another matter and asked about schedule for fireworks.

They said they had 'just asked for another guest and were Told it is now seasonal'. She didn't expect anything else for the rest of the year 'unless something changes'.

I feel like they are wrong. At least I hope so. But just thought I'd report that Intel.

was that a phone CM? they really don't know anything about anything... they barely know how to look up info that is right there in front of them, let alone having an inside line on what is going to happen in the future.

if it DID go seasonal I would expect it to end after new year's eve and not right now. Crowds are pretty decent right now and osborne lights are gone from HS. This is how is brand new and they just put all of this money into developing it.

The PPO sign ups have been hit or miss for some. Some people report having no problem signing up even before their breakfast some people have said that they make you wait until the park is officially opened. The sign ups are at the Indiana Jones Store right next to 50s Prime Time, so it's very close to H&V

that's cool. are they only good that day or are they good any day? and do they give them out even if you sign up during morning extra magic hours?

I think they are for that day but I'm not completely sure
Again it has varied, but some have reported being able to sign up earlier than 8 EMH If you are going to EMH be in line around 7:30am

This possibly has been discussed and I've just missed seeing it here, but I'm just curious as I've read something about it online somewhere. But I read something about Vader possibly returning to Launch Bay? Thought the folks here would maybe know if it's true or just a rumor circulating out there.
PS-Just about 2 weeks till I'm at the dessert party. Very excited.

Those are rumors from Disneyland. No rumors of Vader returning to LB here in WDW

Thanks. I knew this thread could sort it out for me.

Oh.

Also, whenever the show is in a weather delay, it's likely that the Chewy Steins will be handed out inside the Launch Bay and not at the viewing area. Don't leave the Launch Bay until you pick up your steins.

Yes! they did hand out the steins inside launch bay at the top of the stairs at our rained out night.

I think I'm confusing myself....the tip to leave the dessert party 20 minutes early to get into the reserved area before the crowd...is that 20 minutes before the start of the fireworks, or 20 minutes before the end of the party? Fireworks are at 8:00 on our night, so do I want to head out at 7:40? When will the storm troopers walk us out? TIA!!!

Stormtroopers have been walking out 15 to 20 minutes before the show. So you would want to walk out a bit before that.

Perfect - thank you!!!!

Check the weather that morning, if it's not going to rain then you have more options
It looks like you could do the 1st show, or after your ST fp or after H&V

 

[Elliemay2]

Thank You!

I know there are instructions on how to fight Darth Vader. @yulilin3 Can you direct me to that?

I sure hope so, planning to buy 10 tickets for Dec. 21.... hear that Disney? Please keep it through the holidays! I think this is the ONLY thing my sister' family is really looking forward to.

I think the Bean Counters are looking for more ways to maximize profits! As such, it!s possible they decided to end the Star Wars Fireworks for the rest of the year, as the MVMCP starts the second week in Nov., and all rooms are booked onsite for the rest of 2916! ALSO, they could ALSO deliberately delay ROL for the very SAME reason!
THEN in late Nov./early Dec., they will announce Awaken Winter!
WITH the Star Wars Fireworks , ROL, Tree of Life Projections, etc.
promotions to get guests to fill up a SLOW(by comparison) January/early Feb.!
Disney no longer cares what guests want; the Almighty dollar rules! It!s profit! profit, profit!
I refuse to get my hopes up for our Nov. Trip! I plan on Disney announcing AFTER our Trip, RIL & SW Fireworks FOR 2017!
