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

[yulilin3]

Thanks so much to the posters on this thread for sharing the anticipated Dec 3 opening of ADRs for the dessert party! Any ideas regarding the timing - midnight eastern, 6am eastern, 7am eastern?

You can check at midnight to see if it's open online but the CM said it should be at 7am EST when they open their phone lines

Based on yesterday and today, would you suggest people go to the Launch Bay right at park opening OR wait until later in the day?

I only experienced the evening hours and was relatively painless.

Ok, I'm pretty much near 50 and am as excited as a 10yo when I saw some of the food items (blue milk panna cotta, and the TIE Fighter popcorn bucket in particular) Not to mention how excited I was to see a Han Solo frozen in carbonite kids meal. I'm not sure if anyone else gets that worried feeling that it won't be there when I get there. The food wasn`t a temporary thing for opening day of Launch Bay was it?

No, the food should stick around for a while.

So, my son and I may have translated all the dialogue that was in Aurebesh into English...the very lengthy one is the rules to play the card game

Thank you! We're looking for an ADR in February during Princess Half Marathon Weekend, so I'll enjoy reading all the reports here before our trip!

We're down to single digits and this is very exciting for DH, I mean the kids.

Just wondering about the glow cubes in the grown-up drinks... can you buy them separate or with kids drinks?

I remember that inside Rebel Hangar we could buy them with the kids meals. But I'm not sure now....maybe another research trip is needed

Can anyone give me a list of stores that carry the millennium falcon gingerbread house, or be willing to do PP & ship it to me? I can't find it anywhere in my area!

Last weekend I saw it at Marshalls.

Hey guys,

Did anyone sign up for JT? If so, were you there for rope drop? How full were sign ups? Any advice? Thanks!!

For those asking about JTA...you can certainly request a certain villain, but I'd tell your kids to be prepared not to be able to pick. No offense to the second/bottom villain (sorry, I don't know who that is in the pictures!) but I think that the vast majority of kids, if given a choice, will request Vader, but obviously they won't be able to accommodate everybody's request. So I wouldn't be surprised if they had a "no requests" policy, especially if running two levels is going to be permanent. And I would be bitterly disappointed if I went through everything you need to go through to get a JTA spot to be stuck fighting a villain you don't know. But that's just me. I may be carrying some residual bitterness about JTA being closed on our last trip in October, which will be our last trip for a few years.

Having fought Vader on a previous trip, my 2 would much rather fight the Seventh Sister next time!

Following up on previous question. For those of you who did JTA how did the sign-up work? Where did you go? What time did you get there to be able to get a spot?
TIA!!

Gee, jtown, you don't sound bitter at all! With the changes to the set, that did warrant the shutdown but Disney never did officially announce the closing.

In the past, the Padawans did move Younglings based on nice requests. From the videos that are posted, some of the Padawans are either new or former Jedi Knights who ran the lower level while the Jedi Master gave directions. So, they may not be that agreeable to moving the kids around.

It wouldn't hurt for your kids to ask the Operation CMs who will hand out the robes and get the Younglings lined up at the check-in area. Just ensure that they ask for the lower level because that's where the Seventh Sister will be located.

I was told they did it again this morning with the pyrotechnics. I don't know for how long they will be doing it. I listen to a few Star Wars podcasts, so that part I found really funny. I might go back for rope drop to shoot it from a better angle. Lies. I rather sleep.
And with all that new awesome merch, I ended up just buying 2 more Jedi Training Lightsabers.
