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

[Mutant]

Just did the new party last week. Last time I did this party was in January 2017. I loved the addition of chairs! It was great to sit & rest for a bit after being out in the heat of the park. Food was good & similar to what we had in 2017. We did have someone with an egg allergy & she got her own large bag of desserts. Disney did great with the allergy. We were walked around and told everything she could/could not have. Such a treat for her since she rarely can partake of desserts! (She’s 7, so it made her feel so special). She also LOVED the Nutella dessert.

Everyone sat to watch the shows. I really enjoyed the Movie Magic show...reminded me of the end of The Great Movie ride.

This is still my favorite dessert party, although I can only compare it to a Wishes dessert party and an HEA dessert party.

Yes
It's the raised area directly in front of the Chinese Theater where the Sorcerer's hat was located.

Thanks and gotcha. I just looked at a map when there was sourcerer’s hat; I’ll read through the positioning posts, I think I read there are some places where it’s easier to see projections in the reserved section.

I told my Mom I booked us a surprise Star Wars event she asked if it was a meet and greet with Harrison Ford.

He's normally there doing meet and greets, but his off night just happens to be on your party night.

I am glad to hear that everyone was able to book September without a bump in the price, I was nervous for you all that it was coming and actually I'm surprised it didn't!

Surprises the heck out of me too.

It's better to be towards the rear and to the left.

So so glad they added chairs. That just seals the deal for us to do the party again June 2019, if everything stays as is. We probably would have anyway, but this makes it certain.

Thanks for this!

So you can sit and watch the projections show?!

 

[glocon]

I’m pretty sure the seating is for the dessert portion of the party not the show part of it.... but that would be nice!

 

[bigbear]

Just wanted to say thank you to @FastPasser. So much useful info. We're there from the UK on Saturday 14th July It's our first SW party and a birthday surprise for one member of our group

 

[MacMama0930]

I got my October date booked! It had to take the place of the Sleepy Hollow event. Any opinions as to which I should keep?

I thought Chuff might be a woman but then I saw Han for her picture and changed my mind. I should have assumed because when I told my Mom I booked us a surprise Star Wars event she asked if it was a meet and greet with Harrison Ford.

I would have paid a lot more to get a meet and greet with Harrison Ford!!! I just use that picture because sassy Han Solo speaks to me.

Chairs are provided for the dessert party portion, and usually you can sit on the pavement at the viewing area for the Movie Magic and SWaGS shows.

 

[JakAHearts]

Ah ok, sitting on the pavement sounds good too! Thanks again for all your help!

Just booked for 9/29!! I'm so excited. Thank you everyone for everyone for your help while we waited for this to open, this has been the most amazing, supportive group. Thanks especially to @FastPasser. and @yulilin3 for being such important voices on this board. I am so excited to share this experience with my mom.

I'm so happy you were able to book this. I've been following your wait and keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope you love the experience as much as we did!

 

[kkbookmom]

Woohoo! Just booked DH and myself for 9/22. So excited! Thank you @FastPasser., for all the information, @yulilin3 for the pics of the new space. This will be our first dessert party ever and I'm over the moon. This entire board is a special kind of pixie dust.

 

[yulilin3]

I walked right in front of the Chinese theater on my way to one last ride on ST last night while swags was going on and everyone in the dessert party viewing area were sitting.
Btw, at 10 minutes till park closing i had a st vehicle all to myself so i was finally the rebel spy

Thanks for the heads up on the availability of cooking. Hubby and I are going 10/9. Question.....the party time is 7pm with fireworks at. 8pm, right? We have dinner adrs at Il Mulino for 5pm so we should have plenty oftime. I was just hoping for a fp on slinky dog before the party started. I'll try for 6:30pm for that. Is the seating for the party reserved tables (like they are for Wishes dessert party) or will we need to be in line at the party entrance earlier than 7pm?

Star Wars Guided Tour or Star Wars Dessert Party?

Hi, as a background, I've been to Disneyland many times, and pretty much done everything Star Wars there with my DS, as well I have a Disney Visa card so I can do the Disney Visa Character Interaction. So the following have already been done at Disneyland:
1) Star Tours
2) Path of the Jedi short movie
3) Launch Bay
4) Character interaction with Chewbacca and Darth Vader (not with Kylo)
5) Trials of the temple

So I have the Galactic Dessert Party booked already since it is now available just in case, and I realize that the guided tour no longer has the dessert party included for a while, just the ability to go in the same area as the party guests.

So the new stuff is really:
1) A galaxy far,far away show
2) March of the First Order show
3) The lunch (eh?)
4) Kylo Ren greeting (But I can use Disney Visa perk)
5) Galactic Spectacular reserved viewing (but no dessert)


With all that said, my question is whether the guided tour is still worth it or not? Are there any added perks not listed on the website? ARe any of the ones that are in Disneyland any noticeably different in Disneyworld? How different is the Trials of Temple, for example?

Right now, I'm leaning towards no, but maybe there are some additional perks?


Finally, along with the Frozen Dessert party, the Star Wars guided tour is the last major extra paid event that is still not scheduled for September and October.... so annoying.

Yes
