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

[ArielSRL]

I just received a call from Hollywood Studios Dining to say that our reservation for the Star Wars fireworks dessert party in August has changed times to begin at 7:45 PM.

I'm assuming this is to accommodate for the new Disney Movie Magic show, but does anyone have any other info on that? Thanks!

I posted on this thread or the new show thread that I had read in about it happening from a FB group.

Got the call this afternoon for August - So the DMM happens before the fireworks? I wonder if they'll escort the party out to see both shows?

It started Friday DMM is at 9pm with SWaGS at 9:30pm. I was there Sunday night and the dessert party was not escorted out until 9:20pm, but about 50 people came out early to watch DMM

I didn't get the memo if they are. According to the current schedule, the total duration of the dessert party hasn't changed, so if they did escort party guests to the viewing area to watch the new show, it would mean that the party would be be shortened significantly, it isn't that long to begin with. And unless they change the show time, there's a 20 minute wait between the end of the new show and the start of SWaGS.

Could a dessert party-goer exit the party to see DMM and then go back in to get another treat/drink before SWaGS starts? I know the locations aren't exactly close, but would there be enough time in those 20 minutes?

I would think this would be difficult because of the crowds gathered for the show. We were nearly last in line being led out by CM's at one of the parties we attended and our group became separated from the main body of party-goers. The CM had to yell constantly to make way for us. It was very congested even with an escort.

That makes total sense.

You could always grab a cup and fill it with some treats and grab another cup with drinks and take them out to watch DMM

The problem is that you'd have to get back to the party venue before they take away the food and beverages. They begin the process as soon as the last guest clears the venue. So you don't actually have 20 minutes because the venue is usually, and varies somewhat, closed by about 10 minutes before the show. You'll have to load up when you initially leave. Bring a to-go container.

That makes total sense to me - To-Go container it is!

Isn't that the Chewy mug?

Good thought, but they are handed out at the viewing area. I wonder if that's just a coincidence?

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I miss SWW.

OK. That's it.

 

[morrison2951]

Great pics, those were fun times. As disappointed as your were when you heard that they cancelled SWW, so were many CMs. Many, me, volunteered to work them because they were fans and enjoyed it. No matter how good SWL is, unless they have a version of SWW, I don't think they'll be able to duplicate the energy and ambiance of SWW.

Yep. I attended the very first SWW as well as the very last one in 2015- not to mention a few in between as well.

For Father's Day last year, my wife matted and framed my SWW pins and I look at them basically every single day on the wall.

 

[morrison2951]

Oh totally, I just know they also sell the Boba Fett steins at the various quick service outlets. So it wouldn't be a new run, just an additional option

The Fett stein is awesome.

Just an FYI, Star Wars land is vertical!

Re: dessert parties on tour days... We have a dessert party on Mon Aug 21 ( a tour day, apparently), and I'd rather not move it because that messes up the rest of our plans. Is the problem that there are twice as many guests in the same area? It sounds like 40 for the tour + 40-50 for the dessert party. Am I understanding correctly?

No. The dessert party is 200 plus the tour is 40 to 50. So a total of 250

We have tickets the 18th and I'm thinking of switching to the 21st ot 22nd. The 22nd is my only park day that there is no tour and it's our last night. We usually end at MK so I have a lot to think about.

It's 200 total.
