Ok you twisted my arm I changed my date to the 24th. See you there I was wavering on the date anyway.

Seriously? That's awesome!! @Daniela Rose over on the https://www.disboards.com/threads/o...mber-2017-thread.3604063/page-2#post-57595614 thread is going to be there the same night, too. We'll all have to get together and have a drink! We'll have our own little DIS boards get together. I can't wait!

I just booked our SW Dessert Party!!! So excited! I've been stalking this forever it seems! My husband and I are really looking forward to this one. We did the MK Hallowishes Dessert Party last year and had fun. But I think this one is going to be fantastic! We have seen the fireworks before at HS, so this will be nice to not have to stake out a spot. Plus the desserts and the adult beverages makes this so much more appealing than the MK one.

Ok, I've searched this thread and even further confused myself. So could someone be kind enough to do the math and tell me what time we should be there to be among the first to checkin for the dessert party? I see that they let you in early, but I'm so confused. Thanks!!

Our party time on the reservation is 7:45pm and fireworks at 9pm. What time can we checkin?

You can check in at 7pm. The let you in approx 15 minutes before the scheduled time. So for a 7:45pm dessert party they will let you in at 7:30pm

Thanks so much! My brain just couldn't figure it out and do the math today, too much adrenaline from booking I think! haha!

You are right on time, once you can see the dates the reservations should be loaded in a day or two. Keep on stalking

You were right I just booked for 12th Sept.

WOOT WOOT, was able to book Desert Party around 10:45 AM this morning from work. I am guessing they opened booking at 7 AM. I checked prior to 7 AM at home and could not book.

Hope everyone got their desired dates !!!

DD is ready for our trip in 2 days...I won't say she is "over" the princesses but I can say she is MOST excited about meeting BB-8, Baby Groot and Chewie again

Rey is a far better role model. I approve.

ETA did NOT mean to diss the princesses (I love Merida and Rapunzel). I just think Rey is the bomb diggity.

So, we're booked at Disney (POR) the week that the new Star Wars movie premieres. I'm hoping Disney does something special again for the premiere. If they do, does anyone have any ideas about how far ahead plans would be announced? This trip is a surprise for my DH, a huge SW fan!

I am expecting they will do Galactic Nights (you can see the map and details on page one) depending on when SW VIII tickets go on sale I would expect they announce the tickets for the party as well. If it's like SW VII that was 2 months in advance

Just booked for Sept 13th, 7:45 party, 9:00 showtime...... All my plans are coming together.....

Just did the dessert party tonight and my family agreed that it was probably the best money we spent in Disney and well worth it! (And Disney gets plenty of our money over the years!). All the reservation-stalking paid off and I'm thankful for this thread and reading the experiences and wisdom from others who have done it.
It really was a great experience! I would do it again.

My wife and I did this party on Tuesday and had a great time even though my wife is not a Star Wars fan. We enjoyed 2 of the 4 alcoholic beverages (swamp milk was nasty ). No wait for any of the characters. Food was tasty, but we didn't eat much. Viewing area for the fireworks show was perfect. We will do this again with our boys.

Everything looked the same as the pictures and videos of the party that I've seen.
The Galactic Punch was my favorite, but I did try all the drinks, even the swamp milk, which I didn't think was terrible. I don't know if it was our bartender or not, but the drinks were strong! The drinks the cm's greeted us with at the entrance of the party weren't nearly as strong as the ones the bartender was mixing.
The storm troopers came by a few times to keep everyone in line and the Jawa were trading, but pretty sparingly. They didn't want anything we had, even though one helped him/herself to a look inside my bag. The only thing semi interesting he/she found in my bag was a pair of unused, sealed chopsticks from Epcot the previous day. He/she started banging on the tables with them.

I am debating booking this but there is a possibility one of the people in our group might not be able to make it. Can I book it and then cancel that one person for a refund?
