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

[RJstanis]

There had been plenty of SW face characters meet and greet, obviously during star wars weekends, what is not going to happen anymore is the disney characters in sw clothing, like jedi mickey, Darth goofy, etc, and that's per LucasFilm not disney

I didn't realize that was why they had stopped. I thought the Disney characters in SW costume was awesome and a great way to integrate the two themes.

I completely agree, it made for a very fun meet and also a great cgaracter dinning, it was the decision of Kathleen Kennedy once she took over LucasFilm, George Lucas himself never had a problem with it

Where are the October dessert parties?

Where are the October dessert parties?

It's time to bring some humor into the constant refreshing.

I only read a few pages back, but when we went we did not get the Chewbacca stein, but the Star Wars Tie Fighter Popcorn Bucket instead. I'm glad that they have stopped letting in the tour first. I went when this policy had not started and it made me very angry to be held back by a light saber when I tried to go in. There were tons of people in there already!
Anyway, we were only able to bring two popcorn buckets home in our luggage - they are just too big!

As we wait for October and, for my family, November party and or tour dates. I will distract you with the latest addition to my Star Wars tattoo sleeve.

You will like it, Cassian says you have to.

Interesting, I immediately thought only a couple of nights during that time period

That was my interpretation as well!

That's two, I'm going with that.

Always a chance, but won't know my schedule until tomorrow. I'll PM you.

Yay!!! Would love to say thanks in person for all the information and advice.

Just goes to show you that Disney does listen..... sometimes.

A few pages back there was a very energetic discussion regarding the policy of allowing the tour group in before regular party guests. Many of you, and others not on here, let Disney know how you felt. I'm glad to report that as a direct result of guest complaints, the tour group is no longer allowed in first. They'll have to get inline along with everyone else.

They will however receive a perk to replace the perk that was taken away. The tour group will have a pre-party mini event in the courtyard at the Launch Bay where beverages will be served prior to opening. After that, they are free to get in line.

Outstanding news!!!

Is the Guided Tour changing times? I was checking to see if they released dates for our November trip and see that there are now dates for October, but that the time is for 8am. Could they be doing a quick serve breakfast then all of the non dessert party things? And then just provide access to the party that night at its scheduled time? Would solve the issue of Tour guests getting early access.

Called and of course they don't know. The CM said that she is almost 100% the time is not changing and also she did not know what the attraction would be for non JT folks now that GMR is closing...sorry

Are the dessert parties on every night? We booked the tour for 30th Sept but when I try to add the fireworks to my plans in MDE it tells me I have selected an invalid date. There was availability showing for the dessert party before but now that shows nothing too. Surely the system wouldn't allow them to book me on a night where the fireworks aren't happening? I'm only panicking as I've since cancelled our PPO to Hollywood and Vine that we had for Jedi Training.

I wouldn't panic, everything should fall into place.

If you were able to book the tour, that means that the party and SWaGS are taking place as all three are dependent on each other. IE, no SWaGS, no party. No party, no tour as the party is a major element included in the tour.

Wow! That's great news. We are doing the party on August 9th so will get to see this new policy fairly soon. Thanks for the update (as always).

Let us know, how it goes!!!

[wenpop]

We will be there Sept 13 and we can't wait!!!!! Hope the desserts are really awesome and the show rocks our socks!!! Counting down the days!!!

I'm hoping to snag guided tour tickets for January 2018.

For now can I at least try to plan around the likelihood that the tours will be monday and Saturday?

I should start checking for booking dates to be released sometime between October and December, correct?

Since I subscribed to this tread, will someone likely post when they notice new dates go live?

Also, a little OT but the Disney store online has some discounted SW kids costumes for Rey, Jyn, and an imperial death trooper for about $15 each if they happen to have it in the size you need. Might be good for kids who want to participate in Jedi training!
