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

[Luna81]

I'm struggling with the tour too. We have a six year old daughter. But she and my husband are pretty big Star Wars fans and looking at HS that's about all we will be doing there. Hmmm. Decisions. Either way I want to do the dessert party.

My two cents far as kids and the tour. Like others said, you know your kids better than anyone so if you think they will enjoy it, I say go for it. If it was me, (my kids are no longer kids) I would do the tour but use the morning as a pool resort time, then show up for the tour that way the kids have that morning break from park stuff and are ready to enjoy the tour.

you know your kids best, so each kid's reaction to this tour might be different, if you and your kids want to do everything SW related at DHS (as I see from your post there are a couple of things you want to do) then it's a good deal.
The standing and waiting is the same standing and waiting you would do to see the 2 centerstage shows and check in for the dessert party and wait for SWaGS.

Thank you to Yulilin3 and others for your thoughts about kids on the tour. That is a good point that the standing/waiting would be the same whether we would be self-touring or on the guided tour. To cvjpirate, that would be a good idea to have a relaxed resort morning before the tour; however, I don't think I could make that work because we only have 2 park days at WDW and would miss AK altogether if we do that. At a minimum, I do have an ADR for lunch on that day. Maybe a nice relaxing meal will serve as an adequate break.

This is what I'm thinking. If we don't do the tour we need to be there for park opening to try to get into Jedi training. Hmmm.

We plan on Monday for HS. But will have driven two days to arrive on Sunday. Be nice to sleep in a bit.

My plan is to be at HS for park opening but do like you said, take a long relaxing lunch break before doing the tour. I feel that lunch break will break the day up and give me a chance to recharge my old batteries for the tour.

Hi everyone, especially the long time followers of this thread, I am not dead and did not fall of the edge of the Earth, to be completely honest I've not been in the "check the Dis everyday" mood. I continue to check the WDW site for update to calendars and I see the news about SWLand opening in 2019 made it here, thanks @cvjpirate , I can tell you from different vantage view points I have not seen any vertical construction on SWLand but hey, if they say 2019, I'm onboard,

Correct, nothing vertical quite yet but foundations are being poured.

Hey if you're willing to volunteer

I have recent aerials of the site from about a week ago on the rumors and news board.

I'm with you, looking for May dates as well. Looks like we got about another month to month and half wait.

 

[Kamy04]

I am looking for May, too. What is frustrating is I may have to choose my FP before they release tour stuff. Our entire vacation changes depending on the tour! Argh.

Yea I feel your pain. Had this same issue last year when I went trying to guess when they would have the fireworks show and dessert party and I picked wrong. I felt sorry for the young lady that had to read my email to Disney, I was nice, but they knew how upset I was over how they want you to plan everything so far in advance yet hold off releasing information about the Tours, Dessert parties and stuff.

For those who may not have heard, Andi Gutierrez and Anthony Carboni from the Star Wars Show are going to be hosting the events at Star Wars Galactic Nights. I'm glad to have professional hosts hosting events at that event.

They are cool but I would've liked James Arnold Taylor for the SWW nostalgia feels

Hi, my husband and I are going to be the April 14th Star Wars: Galactic Nights. I am a bit lost at what we should do outside of the party.

We arrive late Thursday night around 10pm. So we will go straight to the hotel and crash. My husband has pretty bad rheumatoid arthritis and pressure from the airplane will make him pretty useless Friday morning. So we will likely eat and hit the pool and then go to the party.

I read that the Not-So-Scary Halloween party would let folks in as early as 4pm, and I am hoping that is the case for Galactic Nights. Anyone know is that is the case?

But we are there all day Friday and fly out at 10pm. Going to the park for one morning for the full $125 ticket isn't something I want to do. I am thinking eat at a character breakfast - possibly Ohana since I've heard good things. And then head to Disney Springs.

Any ideas of what to do at Disney Springs or something completely different?

Per the 1st page of this thread, "Reported by @tstidm1 You will be allowed into DHS after 5pm with this event ticket."

Wait - did I miss something? When I try to book it still shows nothing past March. Do you actually have tickets for 4/14?

I think you might be confusing this with the dessert party - she was referencing a ticketed after hours event. So youre still good!

Something seems to have gone awry when the other thread got merged in, because I haven't gotten a notification for this thread since!

I will totally be wearing the shirt I might have gotten from the most awesome Andi as a thank you gift. (It's such a cool shirt guys!)

Phew! Thanks for clearing that up.
