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

[yulilin3]

Ok. Thanks!

Any idea how many spots there are for the Jedi Training Academy and how many shows they have each day?

Also, how many spots are available for the SW dessert party? Wondering how difficult it is going to be to get a spot.

I believe JT has 30 spots per show they do the show about 10 times a day depending on the day,you can see the schedule on the wdw site or app
The dessert party takes 200 people per night, I wouldn't wait too long before booking

Thanks! I won't wait, just wondering how difficult it will be. For example, there are some April spots still available. Hopefully it won't sell out too fast for May. I sense that this is an experience that once it sells out, it will be near impossible to get a spot because it's pre-paid, correct?

For some reason I thought it had either a 24 or 48 hour cancellation policy ?

Yes you pre pay at moment of booking. 2 day cancellation policy

So, I called at 7am. The dates still aren't open. I tried for my whole week. :/ I can't find any availability in May at all, so my guess is that the dates still haven't dropped. Will they drop later in the day or is it if they're not out at 7am today then you have to wait until Sunday?

It's 7:13am on Saturday. I just spoke with a Disney agent, who was not able to find a galactic dessert party available for booking on May 1. The guided tour is also not showing as available that day on the website. They seem to be not ready yet for May bookings.

 

[steviethegreat]

Good to know. I'll try again tomorrow, I guess. I mean, I'll keep checking the website constantly, because I can't help it, but I'll try calling tomorrow morning and then Monday morning.

I was just able to book the dessert party for May 4 through the website. It looks like other May dates are also now available.

 

[steviethegreat]

Yep! I just booked mine, too! May 4th!

Thank you! I was just able to book the Dessert Part my also, for May 1. How odd that I couldn't do it an hour ago. I am also a little annoyed because what I really want is the tour, but I just called again (8:20am) and it is not available yet. Ugggh!

 

[McKelly]

If I book the Dessert Party, is there enough time to tour Launch Bay and do meet and greets with Chewbacca and Kylo Ren? Or should we tour Launch Bay during the day and just come back for desserts and the viewing area later?

 

[csmom]

Just booked dessert party on the website for May 10.

 

[steviethegreat]

Just keep calling and checking, I guess. I was GOING to go to sleep and I checked one last time and boom. There it was. Maybe they're slowly adding things.

 

[Luna81]

Grabbed the party for the 8th. Now to wait for the tour to open up. And cancel the party if I get the tour. Thanks all!

As the manager of this thread and all the Star Wars Weekends threads that came before it this is groundhog day for me. Every time dates are posted everyone panics because they say they are sold out, they call the reservation line and CM say it's sold out and then a couple of hours later they open, it's pretty funny.
Glad everyone is getting their reservations
For those looking for the SWaGS times they have NOT updated the May calendar yet, but they are selling the dessert party which means they will have them. It looks like May 5th and 6th there's no dessert party, not sure if we will have the show those nights

Depends on crowd levels. For example I have been seeing Chewbacca's line be 40 minutes long all this week, I say if meeting the characters is important try and do it earlier in the day so you don't cut into your dessert party experience

Thanks for the updates on May times being open. I just booked 5/27, which is a Saturday, and then realized after the fact that that will probably be a tour day. How would a tour day impact the dessert party crowd? Does the extra 40 make much of a difference? Is it better to reschedule for a non tour day?

It has been reported that the area takes 240 people wth no problem. The tour people go in first into the dessert party (I think it's 15 minutes prior) and then everyone else. As long as you are there 15 minutes before the party is scheduled to start you'll be fine

It's like I intellectually know it'll be fine. But can't help but worry. Hah
