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

[Twilight Sparkle]

Anyone know what's up with 1/28 and why it can't be booked? It doesn't show up as no tables available. Just that it can't be booked.

I have no idea for sure, of course, but I wonder if it is somehow related to ProBowl? Isn't the game on the 29th? I wonder if something is going on at DHS the night before?

there's nothing on the internal event schedule for the pro bowl at DHS. There's a private company party but they are using Sunset Showcase, watching F! then have ToT and RnRC after park hours

When do they update the schedule/times for the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Fireworks? There are no days or times scheduled past Feb 25th. We will be at WDW the first week of March. Thanks

The CM I spoke with told me there are 40 slots per tour.

I wonder how many in total they will have for the desert party, cause I am sure we will be mixed in with people that have purchased that too...

current capacity for the dessert party is 200 but they have been known to sell a bit more, with the sw tour people I'm sure it'll be now like 250, if 40 is the capacity for the tour

Hooray for this thread! We just found out we'll be able to make it back this year after what feels like forever!! I read a lot about the dessert party, but haven't decided if we can swing the cost. If we choose to skip the party, where would you recommend we go to get the best view for the Galactic Spectauclar viewing and what time? We'll be there 1/27-1/29. TIA!! We are so excited!!

At DHS now, the area where the infinity and angry birds game were is behind walls, asked around but no one can tell me what they are doing. I asked if it was a Vader meet and they said they couldn't say

This was the past piece of the puzzle for our family trip with the idea it would be our son's 30th b-day gift. I was on a greyhound when the dates released and was frantically hitting refresh on the Kindle to no avail. Called once i got home and was told "oh it must be sold out, they release those dates months in advance you should plan sooner" UHM NOPE. I've called numerous times, spoken to several CM, been transferred to a whole host of different departments and only once did i get an answer that bordered on reasonable. That answer? "I have no idea why it's not letting us book a spot, I can't see any bookings, not one spot is sold." I questioned if it might be a hard-ticketed event related to the ProBowl events and was told that it isn't showing anywhere as blocked off to the public. Without fail, every other CM has told me that it is sold out.

I've given up trying to book it and stopped calling because i'm tired of trying to explain that the message that shows for that date is NOT there are no tables, meaning that it is booked solid, but that it says "We were unable to check for available tables at this time." Couple that with getting stuck in the perpetual loop of Disney's version of that hot-place "IASW on hold" more than once and I'm on the hunt for something else special.

Our family just got back to our resort from the party.
My thoughts are as follows:

- food/dessert selection was mediocre. There was plenty to go around but nothing out of this world
- Stormtroopers never really stopped, just breezed by twice during the party..same experience as if you just went to launch bay.
- alcohol..drinks were pretty good/tasty but how many drinks can you actually enjoy in about an hour or so?
- fireworks show was awesome and the roped off viewing area helped a great deal.
- Kylo Ren line was 10 minutes the whole time...good experience..he's intimidating
- Chewbacca line got down to 20 minutes but we didn't want to risk missing the stormtroopers....that was a mistake.
- chewbacca steins...meh...we now have 4 of them.
- The space handled the amount of people pretty well

Overall I would say for the price it wasn't worth it. Again, the show itself rocked and the viewing area was great but the price tag is too high for a family of 4 (10 and 12 year old).

Question about the disabled viewing area. We are attending the dessert party in February with our kiddo, who will have a stroller as wheelchair pass. We've used the tag in the past and understand that we can take the stroller wherever wheelchairs can go. With the reserved viewing area, is it still open only to dessert party guests or can any disabled guest at HS view the show from this area? Just trying to decide what time we should make our way out from the party. Thanks!

The wheel chair viewing is only for people who have the dessert party
