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

[yulilin3]

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.

Can't wait for your report

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...

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

...sniff...sniff...Okay, I'm going to hope that there will at least be SOMETHING. And a Christmas (or "Holiday") show would be fun...

Just to add another theory, they could go with separate event tickets, SW parties like MNSSHP and MVMCP, on selected nights, leave the park open from 7pm to midnight, have some attractions open, characters ad SWaGS.

BTW Rogue One trailer on GMA at 7:45am

so pumped

Something that has been mentioned by some pp but I just wanted to remind people. They have a rain check option for the parties. Basically if your party gets cancelled because of weather stay inside Launch Bay ad look for a CM with a clipboard and you can add your name to another night to enjoy the show from the viewing area. You will obviously not be able to go into the dessert party again but at least you'll have a viewing area

We built a Kylo Ren lightsaber last fall at Wattos Grotto - one section of the "light" tubing broke yesterday in an intense battle with my 2 and 7 year olds haha.

What are the chances I can just buy the tube parts itself when we are back next month? My 7yo is devastated and I'd really like to not spring for a whole new lightsaber!

We won't be able to do the dessert party this trip, but I would love to hear what you find out, for future trips. They have to add a sweetener, otherwise the dessert would taste like bread. Would love to hear what sweeteners they use on the no sugar added desserts.

The message I got back was very general. They said items and vendors change often so no specifics are available. It was recommended (1) to talk to the chef at the event, and (2) to email Special Diets within 30 days of the event with your reservation number and dietary requirements so that they could be better accommodated.

UPDATE: I did check back with Special Diets within the 30 window and they still could not give me any specific information about the ingredients (specifically artificial sweeteners) in the allergy offerings. They said I would need to talk to a chef at the event to get that information. Based on this we canceled the party. I understand this on some level, but it is disappointing.

I'm not sure but I could ask for you. I think I'm going to DHS on Saturday so I can ask then

If you remember, that would be awesome! I was going to call the merchandise line and ask but figured they might not actually know something that specific...

There was a recent thread regarding Disney's generous exchange policy regarding broken items. Posters, including me, shared that broken items were readily exchanged.

The exchange policy is based on Guest Recovery so it never hurts to explain the situation and ask if it can be replaced.

ETA: Magic Kingdom return policy?

Oh that's great to know - maybe I will bring the broken piece with us and see what they say. I figure a year of use with a toy is pretty good and I'd happily pay for the replacement part but if they want to swap it that would be amazing. I don't know that buying a replacement part is even feasible, I can't remember if they charge per piece or for the whole set up...

Thanks for the info!

they don't charge per piece. But if they are swapping deflated balloons I don't see why they wouldn't swap this

Definitely worth a shot - I'll throw the broken piece in the backpack on our DHS day. Can't hurt to ask! Then DS can build a different lightsaber for his souvenir instead of rebuying this one

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.

Question: Were all 5 of you in line for the Jedi Training when you received the FP for 5?

We got our FP hand out on Oct 9 (after hurricane) and only 2 of 4 of us were in line. The party next to me had 2 of 6 in line. FP were given for all members of the party.

to quote episode V luke (or episode III vader), "nnnnnnnooooooooooooooo!"

 

[pumpkinjl]

It's just a rumor.

If this is true, I, for one, will be ANGRY!!! The holidays is the only time we can go. I want to see Star Wars NOT holiday!!

IMO, osborne lights were awesome. i know they had to let them go because they're getting rid of the back lot for star wars worldland, but a holiday fireworks show is not a substitute. and when you have a very popular star wars themed attraction that fits with the theme of the park, that people are calling and asking about and paying ridiculous amounts of money extra to be a part of a party for, and a movie coming out next month, then maybe a holiday fireworks show isn't the way to go.

so pumped

Have you heard when tickets will go on presale?
