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

Have a question for you. Do you need to have a Park Ticket at the time you book the Dessert Party? I'm still debating whether to get a one or two day ticket, but still want to figure out if I can book the party first and then get the Theme Park ticket when I get there.

that's a good question, I would think you don't need a ticket when you book, you need one on the day of your party

Agreed, I don't think MDE requires a park ticket to book the dessert party. You don't need tickets to make any other in-park dining reservations. I know this is a little different, but I made a CRT ADR months before every member of my party had purchased their park tickets.

I just booked for 4 adults & it was $279, so it looks like you did get a discount for the 11 year old.

wait, was your one child the 11 yr old??? They counted him/her as a child or adult???
If they didn't count him/her as an adult then I will call and get a reduction for my 10 yr old......

the only way to get child price is to say that they are 9 or under when booking

not sure that will work when they have his age already on MDE, etc...

No, you don't need a park ticket. Even if you had tickets linked to your account, they are not assigned to specific dates, so the system would have no way of knowing what date the tickets will be used anyway.

I see that. It's the only date showing that message. I would call 407 WDW DINE

I hope the tour is popular and more days of the week open up. I need a Friday! Thanks for info.

Thanks for the updates! We've been anxiously awaiting Jan dates for months now, and I had convinced myself that SWAGS would not be occurring on the day we are scheduled for DHS. Lo and behold it is, and I booked the dessert party! Thurs Jan 26, for 2 adults and my 5 yo son. We also have an 8:15 AM H&V reservation, so we can make sure to get him signed up for JTA! He does keep talking about how sad it is that there's no Jedi training classes for mommies .....

No, I definitely paid for DH & I, plus DS (11) as adults, and DD (8) as a child. Works out to the $69/three and $39/one. This is the only time I mind paying for DS (11) as an adult, because clearly alcohol is a factor in the adult price. For TS meals, he orders adult meals anyway, so it's irrelevant for us. However - this party is *his* thing. He doesn't like thrill rides, etc - so getting to do special shows and unlimited desserts is a treat for him!

In your original post you said that you paid for 4 adults and that's where the confusion was. I'm sure he will love it

I said 3 adults assuming my 11 year old was an adult and a child.

Thanks for keeping us so up-to-date on all these details! I never would have checked this morning without your info!

I'm beyond frustrated now --- over 30 minutes on the phone with a CM who clearly had no idea what i was talking about... finally had her searching for the right thing and her first comment was "oh that date is sold out already" I read the message that appears when you try to book something that is sold out "no tables available" and that the message we're seeing is different (she confirmed that's what she is seeing as well) Ok, then perhaps it's a special event? No, she isn't showing that and has no idea -- put me on hold "he**" the music was caught in a Small World loop, shoot me now!---

Her final answer? "You should keep checking everyday right up till you're here it might open up" about as helpful as the suggestion to have only our son go since it's to celebrate his 30th. When i asked how that would be possible if i can't even book for one i swear i heard her shrug!

How does it (Rogue One) compare to The Force Awakens as far as the kid factor?

We brought our 7 year old and she loved it, but there are some scenes that some parents would think were definitely a bit rough.

My bad here...I assumed the 11-year-old was the child PLUS 3 other adults. I didn't think 2 kids (one charged as an adult) and 2 adults. Sorry for causing confusion all around.

Last time I was on hold I had It's a Small World too! It's like some special hold-torture! I hope something sorts out in the next day or so for you!
