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

Would it be doable to leave the party for a bit to see if there's a short enough line for outside characters at the end of the night like say Buzz/Woody or Sorcerer Mickey/Minnie and then come back? We won't be there until the afternoon so figured that would be our best bet to possibly get one of those in, unless the hours are extended past SWaGS. We want to do the LB characters too so more than likely we'll prob just stick to those.

The current advertised start time is 7:45 with guests leaving the party area by around 8:45 for a 9:00pm SWaGS.

This is exactly what we plan to do. Should be plenty of time to boat over to DHS and then some for a 7:45pm party.

Mine's a 6.30pm party on my date...
Meaning if ETTB runs half an hour, we'd have just half an hour to get from Epcot to DHS - doable?

You'll be significantly late.

If the boat is not there when you get to the dock, and if the weather is good and if you feel like it I would walk over cutting through the Boardwalk clown pool, it's about a 15 minute walk from Epcot to DHS
Remember the party unofficially starts 15 minutes before advertised so you will probably be about 15 to 30 minutes late but if you don't mind that's ok

Is that all the walk is? I would've guessed longer...

at a normal pace, yes it's not bad at all. I have left Epcot at the same time the boat is leaving the dock and have beat the boat. And by no means do I walk fast. It's just over a mile

What alcoholic beverage options are there?
I understand there are some cocktails / punches, but are there any other options too?

I personally wouldn't attempt ETTB in that case then. I like being at the front of the line when the dessert party opens early.

Think that might be the new verdict now I've realised there's booze to make the most of too! Haha!

Just to expand on Movie Magic. You can watch it now from the VIP viewing area, but you have to leave the party area on your own. On Oct 1st, the entire group will be escorted to the viewing area in time to watch Movie Magic followed by SWaGS.

How long before the fireworks is it, and what time do you need to leave the party to watch it?

Thanks!
Can you point me in the direction of the drinks info, I'm struggling to find it still?

20 min.

and what time do you need to leave the party to watch it?

Party times will vary so I can't give you a time, but I would leave at least 25 min. before the SWaGS show.

Thanks for the pics...
So does that mean there aren't any other alcoholic options, just the 4 cocktails?

I would add about 10-15 minutes to just get to the EPCOT boat dock, depending on whether you are seated at the concert and where. It can get very crowded between the American pavilion and the International Gateway right after a concert gets done. The walk is usually quicker than the boat to DHS.
