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

[Skywise]

The disney visa meet is open. From 11 to 4, same background as the regular meet line

Does it have to be a Disney Visa or will any Chase visa suffice?

Ok---- so just got back from an absolutely amazing day at DHS !! So, if you like SW a bit, you will have a good time --- if you are a big fan --- Go. Now. !! We had a blast --- ok -- just to chime in about what a few others have said--- Club Disney is a lot of fun !! SW --- amazing !! Got to the park for opening , and were able to sign the kids up for
JTA for the 1:10pm show--- the line was long already -- the kids (4 and 9) had a blast !! ( we all agreed this JTA was improved from the last one) --- after the show , we were able to sign them up for the 7:10 show--- ( we got lucky as the 5:10 show was cancelled -- was drizzling a bit) -- show is amazing at night !!

Were able to meet both Chewy and Vadar for pics---- I was wearing a Dark Side / Vadar baseball jersey which didn't please Chewy --- the Jawas were the best !! For some reason, they loved crayons !!! Merch-- liked Launch bay , but honestly -- thought "once upon a toy" had a larger selection --- bought the BB8 zippy cup from backlot as well as the Chewy Stein ---

Might actually change our MK plans tmw and go back to DHS !!

OMG I watched the 7:10pm show...your kids were on stage against Vader right? I think I recognize the little girl in the pic.
If you go again go to Watto's Grotto, better selection and bigger than Launch Bay Cargo

The Disney site is now updated to include a description of the fireworks:
This Will Be a Night Long Remembered
Gather your favorite Jedi, Jawas, Wookiees, droids and Ewoks to watch fireworks illuminate the night. The sights of twinkling lights fill the sky as the sounds of John Williams’ classic Star Wars themes fill the air—including stirring new themes from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.


While a dazzling array of colors burst above you, imagine the awe-inspiring sights of exploding starships during a legendary Star Wars space battle. What better way is there to celebrate Star Wars than watching a show written on the stars!

It also got updated with both meet and greets and I find funny that under the "attractions" tab they have the picture opportunities:

I love that this is the fastest growing thread on the boards right now!

Does anyone know if you can fill the BB8 sipper with something boozy? Inquiring minds want to know

I haven't visited Disney Springs for over a year. We need to get out there sometime and check it out. We love Watto's Grotto.

You are awesome! I love how you keep us up on all the latest.

WOW! What a day at HS today!!! We met Chewey and Darth (both under 5 minute wait!!) And my kids both made Jedi Training and faught against Darth Vader!!!! On top of that, Storm Troopers were walking around the entire area in front of Launch Bay talking to the kids!! It was such an amazing day and I'm so happy we changed our plans to go to HS a second time to take part in all the Star Wars fun!!!!!

For those looking to do Jedi Training, we were there a half hour past park opening and the earliest time available was 11:40, so there's plenty of room even if you're not there exactly at rope drop. They said there are now two stages, and each class has 15 children. Definitely worth the time!

Thank you to all those that have posted and helped us out! Enjoy!!!!!

Ahh, good to know. So they can choose whether to fight Vader or the Female Sith when they sign up?

Man, if only they could fight Darth Maul!

Was he the little one that was toward the front and his robe kept sliding off?

You are awesome! I love how you keep us up on all the latest.

you are welcome. I've been running the Star Wars Weekends thread for yeas and now this one, it'll be sad once Launch Bay and the fireworks go away

ernt yesterday to Launch Bay again, with Stephanie this time since she didn't get a chance to go with me on the first day.
She loved it, we both agree that to better enjoy the exhibit part it's best to watch the movie at the beginning and not skip it. Obviously if you are pressed for time go ahead and skip it.
She loved all the props and replicas and the general feel
We met Vader and I got the second room, so they do have 2 rooms where Vader "using the force" of course, can be in 2 places at once. Both rooms are identical. Here's our pic. He was very happy with Stephanie's choice of wardrobe (look at her stockings) but had no idea she had a BB8 shirt under the Fett Bomber Jacket, shhh. I don;t know what the heck I'm doing with my face, it's in between trying to be serious, but, guys, it's Vader next to me!!

Saw some Jawas at the Cantina as well

and Stephanie decided she wants this for Christmas

after months of speculations I can now confirm that Symphony in the Star: A Galactic Spectacular fireworks will indeed happen on December 18th. No other special things have been confirmed to me for that day but you never know.
I'm hoping for some SW characters scattered around the parks but that's just me hoping, I haven't heard anything on that

Did i miss it, or have they not actually announced the dessert party during the fireworks?

No! They split the kids up into 2 lines. They happened to be 1st and 2nd on line and their line was chosen to go against Vader. 2nd line against the Seventh Sister. You used to be able to fight Darth Maul from what I saw on older YouTube Videos... The kids can't fight against him now... But he's not completely out of the picture!!! *wink*
