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

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

From WDWMagic:
Season of the Force at Disney's Hollywood Studios will officially begin on January 5 2016.

The main event will be the “Symphony in the Stars: A Galactic Spectacular’’ firework show, taking place each Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Star Wars-themed fireworks show will be set to memorable Star Wars music from throughout the saga.

Darn! I was hoping for Thursday Jan 14th, looks like I'll have to wait until March 12th.

I updated the entire first page last night so each thing is easier to find. As I said last night there's no mention of Season of the Force on the press release, not sure if they have decided to just dump the name and leave it for DL or they are going to use it again sometime in the future

at least $65

 

[PSULion]

We will be there the first week of February and unless the price is really outrageous, will want to do the dessert party. Is this thread gonna be my best bet for finding out when booking is available? I know you all are really on top of things. I don't want to miss it!!!!! Is there anywhere else I should be checking?

Sad thing is that I'd pay more. But we won't be there until Apr anyway.

this page and Disney Parks Blog. I constantly check the WDW site multiple times through out the day so if anything opens up I'll post it here

Yeah, if there is one they can bump the price up for, it is this one. $64.95 is probably correct. $69.95 might just push the limits of decency...

Oh my, just looked up what the frozen dessert party was:

"The package costs $89 per adult and $59 per child (ages 3 – 9), plus tax (gratuity is included). Valid theme park admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios is required and is not included in this package price."

BB8 sipper

DL didn't have it available on the 11th when we checked but photos of BB8 started showing up on the 14th. Maybe Studios wil release over Thanksgiving weekend?

remember the Frozen package included parade viewing so it shouldn't be that much

ouch. not worth it IMO.

Everything feels so fragmented for 2016. I'm picturing horrible lines for photo ops and at very limited venues. The only constant seems to be the ever increasing price gouging to fleece the fan club. (guilty as charged)

I'm glad to already have a few Darth Vader and Boba Fett photos to admire and am concerned this will turn into a potential madhouse this time around.

the ever constant "is it worth it" to some it won't, to some it will.
If you break it down by money value:
Desserts
Chewie Stein
Reserved spot for fireworks
not sure if anything else will be added to that

Desserts: $15-20
Chewie Stein: $15-20
Reserved spot for fireworks: $20

= $50-60

and there you go
and also remember that dessert parties usually come with unlimited alcoholic beverages...I'm not saying that dessert parties are for everyone, you can get great views of fireworks and buy yourself desserts and the stein and it might be a bit cheaper, but either way it's a personal choice

 

[lovethattink]

In my opinion, if the firework show is anything like the last year's or the FSF where there are characters on stage. The best viewing was from the package reserved spots. Unless you were willing to wait forever like @Gianfootography . And he even lost his prime spot a time or two.

We did the dessert party 2 yrs ago as part of a parade viewing and fireworks package. It was a lot of money then for a pty of 3. It just gets to be too much of an upcharge for the pricing points as your group size grows. and they block off such a large area near the stage that it's a shame for those who really can't afford it. I'm glad they're dedicating a whole land to this in the future. I'll be curious if there is a SW stage show planned to accompany the fireworks in 2016 and if so, whether this will be limited to weekends.

So true, @yulilin3! It's all so subjective. The only one I thought I had misread was the sunrise Jungle Cruise experience in DL... $300 per person. I still don't get it... Unless I get to take home an audioanimatronic animal... ...
