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

[heidica]

We're there that night too!!!

Cool! That's our first day in the parks, first dessert party and first time seeing the fireworks. Our last trip to WDW was 10 years ago so I'm SUPER excited. I'll be wearing a light gray shirt with a First Order stormtrooper helmet on it. It will be myself, DH, 22 yr DD and 7 yr DS.

The "Disney Movie Magic" projection show is currently being shown at 9:10pm. It is intentionally not mentioned at the party. For those wanting to see it, you'll have to leave the party no later than 9:05pm. You'll miss out on the Stormtrooper convoy to the viewing area as it leaves at about 9:15pm. Not a big deal for some people. You'll also miss out on receiving the souvenir gift, the TIE fighter popcorn holder, unless you make a point of picking it up before leaving the party area. You will not be able to pick up the souvenir gift after SWaGS.

I'd rather march with Stormtroopers.

Thanks FastPasser - great useful information as always. So what is everyone's thoughts on "Disney Movie Magic" - is it worth seeing?

October Update:
The month is now blue for the dessert party, but no availability. One step closer. Usually means that the dates will be active soon...

In addition, the SW tour is listing most October dates as 8am (which would be wrong as the tour kicks off after 1pm depending or closing time). The phone CM said that the system is not active for booking yet, just keep calling...

So we just keep calling, just keep calling...

Hopefully I qualify as everyone. It's not a show meant to get people into the park. It's filler for those that have been waiting for SWaGS. It's generic Disney stuff. It's worth seeing, but not a must see.

Of course you count Sounds like I should watch it if we are around but don't go out of the way to see it - thanks

 

[FastPasser.]

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.

The part in red will not be the case beginning Oct. 1st when the dessert party will no longer be included in the tour. The price will be adjusted to $99. The tour will shift and take place in the morning and early afternoon. Tour Guests will still be able to use the private viewing area to watch SWaGS.

 

[Felicis]

Oh wow, interesting change!

 

[Disney Bear]

ohh, very interesting

 

[Felicis]

JUST BOOKED OCTOBER DESSERT PARTY!!!!!

(Sorry for shouting, have been waiting and waiting!!)

So the 8am time is correct? Will there now be breakfast or lunch included instead of dinner? I know you probably don't have all the answers at this point, but trying to make sure we have ADRs in place to account for the change.

 

[nicynot]

JUst booked an October party!
Says 7pm though

 

[FastPasser.]

That's correct, the exact Tour agenda hasn't popped up yet. Good question though.

 

[FastPasser.]

Says 7pm though

As SWaGS takes place earlier and earlier, so does the party.

 

[CanadianKrista]

Ugh. We wanted to do the dessert party and tour. And not pay twice as much, which is what it will be now.

By getting the $79 party for only $30 additional, tour guests were getting a good deal. I think Disney finally decided it was too good a deal.

 

[CanadianKrista]

Yeah, but it was like the tour was an upsell from the party. I could convince my husband on that one - now I'm going to have to choose. And getting the Jedi training hassle free is a big draw for the tour, but I really wanted to do the dessert party. I wonder if they will get a drop in bookings for the tour - there's nothing there you can't do yourself with planning now, I'm not sure the hassle free JTA is worth $360 for our family. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's not, since I already had my PPO H&V ADR in case the tour wasn't running on our day....
