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

[prfctlyximprfct]

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!

The truth to this makes me sad.

Thanks a ton again!

Just an FYI- We did Jedi sign-ups last Thursday. We were given a paper fast pass for five for anything in the park... good until October 31st. Everything was pretty much walk-on that day because the hurricane was coming. We ended up using it for TSM when we hopped back in for F! On Saturday.

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

They have a banner that they carry at the front of the pack as they march toward the JT stage. Facing the direction you will walk toward, the right side goes to Vader the left goes to 7th Sister

I really wish they would announce what they may do for the opening week after the tease on the hub the other day.

Yes. We are suppose to leave out the morning of the 17th, but I have a room booked at Disney Springs just in case we need to stay one more night to go to a special event. This doesn't help in budgeting at all.

At the party now.

I am with 2 people in ECV's. I got this to eliminate extra trips at Food and Wine. Works great for the party too!

A nice sized tray I picked up at EPCOT!

I've got a possibility as to why the fireworks have an end date. A rumor that just popped up is DHS is going to do a holiday fireworks show with the projections instead and Star Wars will return after the holidays...

Oooooh, that's interesting. Not that it will fill the gaping holiday hole at HS, but could be nice.....

So Star Wars fireworks will actually end on November 5th and nothing until the holidays? Does this mean most likely they will keep 7pm closing hours after Novemer 5th?

So for those who'll be there 2nd week of November will not get any fireworks?

Unless the DHS holidays start when MVMCP does on Nov. 7. I wanted to do star wars nov. 9, so I just want to know what's going on so we can finalize stuff.

No these would likely start right after the 5th. Osborne lights started in early November I believe.

Just a follow up: they have this tray at the 5&10 at DHS. I could see them on the top shelf as we were leaving. It was very handy when getting food for several people.

why would they take the star wars theme away right before the movie comes out?

 

[PatMcDuck]

We have the dessert party booked in late October. Question, and I do not mean this to sound rude. I had planned on leaving the party early, to get a "good spot". DS is in a WC, which is one reason I booked this in the first place. But, because he is in a WC, does it really matter of we leave the party early or not? We would still get him into the HC area, right?

I still want to leave early, but sometimes I cannot get DH to co-operate with all my rush-rush internet theory behavior, lol. Thanks for the tray idea, we will have to park DS and take turns getting him and us snacks and drinks. I may try and bring one from home, since we have the WC I can put it in the bag that hangs on the back.

It's just a rumor.

When there's a party with a wc they have priority to the reserved area, no need to leave earlier you'll have that spot guaranteed, how far left will depend on how many wc parties there are that night
