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

[Jennmarie13]

Question: we are scheduled to be in DHS on January 6th, but will probably have to return for an evening on Sunday the 8th since we want to do both Star Wars Fireworks and Fantasmic. We are booked for the Fantasmic dining package on the 6th. Anyone know if we can use that benefit for Fantasmic seating on the 8th instead of the 6th if we decide to do Star Wars Friday? Is it transferable? If not, is there any way we'd make it to Fantasmic after the SW fireworks or will our VIP seats be released by then?

And I know none of you actually know, but how long do you think we'll have to wait for the Star Wars schedule for Sunday the 8th? If the show stays at 6:30, would you plan to eat after? Assuming there is table availability (which there isn't right now), can you make reservations for 6:45 on a night the park closes at 7?

Just in case you didn't know it is possible the Star Wars show may not run every night in Jan. Back in October it was not running every night and if I recall correctly Sun was one of the off nights. Since Jan is a slower month I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to only having it 4 nights a week like they did in the fall vs a nightly run.
I don't believe you can use the fantasmic seating on a different night either.

IIRC it was Mon, Wed, Fri, and Sat-I'm sure @yulilin3 will know if I am wrong

If I remember/recall correctly.

Edited to add: Here's a list of common abbreviations.

These days are correct.

Out of the house running errands but remember that the first page has all updated info on everything and the days they updated calendars

That's awesome, have fun. I wonder if they'll do a cool giveaway

It would be awesome if they did! We are in line for the meetup. Not too many people here yet, but everyone is in good spirits! So ready for this.

Just checked in for the meet up. Met some great people in line. Not too many people dressed up (except for Lewis!) They are giving out the same shirt as with the Death Star meetup. We get to pick our seat which is really nice. They have a really great set up for it, too. Everything has been very easy. They gave us coupons for soda and popcorn but we stopped in Wolfgang Puck since somewhere in all the excitement I forgot to eat lunch.

Just noticed the SW Spectacular dessert party just popped up on the Jan calendar and parts of Feb calendar. When I try to book for Thur Jan 5th for our party of 4 it says 'no tables available'. I've been checking several times a day and find it hard to believe this event is sold out already?? Anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance!

From the HUB
There seems to be some discrepancy, it shows the dessert party at 6:30pm but that's the time for the show
At the moment it's showing as playing everyday in January at 6:30pm
February the show looks like it will be at 6:30pm for the following days
1st through 8th
10th through the 19th
21st and 22nd
24th and 25th
The schedule seems to be out until Feb 25th, so by the looks of it, it seems that there will not be a show Feb 9th, 20th and 23rd, very odd.

Lewis got a bunch of photos with some awesome characters outside. His favorite so far has been R2D2 and the group of Jedi. Tried to post pictures but too big from my phone. We keep running out of Wolfgang pucks every time we see a new character show up. Good thing we have a friend with us to watch our stuff. There is a consistent crowd but not too bad. There was one person dressed up who was not affiliated with Disney taking pictures but everyone else has been great.

How can you tell whether / when it's open for booking? Keen not to miss out either!

cause it just came out today (even on very busy seasons it never sells out for an entire month that fast) and the times are probably not correct. Either the time for the show is 6:30pm or the dessert party is at 6:30pm and the show will be at 7:45pm which means DHS hours will need to change

*banghead* Time to revise our plans. Had left open Monday 2/20 (President's Day - figured it would be a busy day so we'd do a party to avoid the crowds), with a 5pm Via Napoli dinner, to go. We have MM F! for the 21st bc in general we don't do well with food at HS, so I figured we'd suck it up and good enough... So now, we wait it out until we can actually book the party for the 21st, then drop the MM F! and I guess deal with the crowds/chance a late day F! FP on President's Day. Sigh... or leave the 21st as is, and book it for the 25th, our last night.
