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

If the fireworks are extended beyond mid March, any thoughts on when they would start? Some friends will be there on Mar. 28th. There's currently only 1 Fantasmic scheduled at 8:30pm. But, it is Easter week, so the schedule could change. Any thoughts on when the fireworks would be?

probably around 9:30, during SWW that's the time they were scheduled, depending what they do with the F! times

I was wondering the same. We will be visiting this summer and wondered if they will discontinue the fireworks long before then. There really isn't a lot of draw to this park with all of the renovations....

Thanks for the info. Did you use the headphone type? Or more like earplugs? We have headphone ones from ouster truck shows, but I can't imagine they'd hear the music through them... They're pretty heavy duty.

Anyone on here have kids at the dessert party? Any issues with the booms?

ours are headphone type ear protectors I got them in the sports section of Walmart sort of near the guns. We tested them in the car - DD could hear the music we were playing just not as loud.

Update - DH was scanned twice today - only did 2 parks - at MK (the outsourced people again - they are just not friendly) and at AK - where they were the Disney security - they were nice and joked around with him. DH is now "ahead" of me - he's been scanned at all 4 parks for a total of 7 times - I've only been scanned 5 times and only at 3 parks

DD wore her Elsa dress today - nobody said a thing. So she's worn - 3 different "costumes" 4 different days with no problems (thankfully!!)

It's been a great trip - we're doing 2 quick parks tomorrow then going home :-(

Wondering if anyone would know the answer to this...so we have the dessert party booked for this Thursday the 28th, and I see there could be some nasty weather, rain. I thought it's been said the fireworks are only canceled if it thunderstorms, not just rain...I.e., desserts inside, then go outside to watch them in the rain.
So what if the fireworks are cancelled because of thunderstorms - is the party then cancelled and I get refunded my party tickets, or do we just end up paying $200 for desserts and no fireworks? Does this make sense??? Should I cancel now while I can still get the refund? Really bummed as we are just flying in for a couple days, and it had to be raining the days we are coming...

Why are they scanning you?

 

[Gianfootography]

Side note DH and I are having a competition as to who gets security checked more often - we're tied at 5 checks each - I however, hold the record for most checks in one day - I got pulled 3 times in one day! We've been scanned the most at DHS - once each at Epcot and once each at MK - neither of us has been scanned at AK which is kind of funny since we've probably been there the most times. DD was scanned once - they did ask if she was 14 - sounded like they weren't planning on scanning her if she wasn't.

How have I not been scanned yet?!

I look like I was born at Mos Eisley Spaceport.

Maybe they are afraid of you

I've never seen Disney scan people. Is something new going on there? I still don't understand.

metal detectors have been installed at the entrances of all the parks. For now Disney is "randomly" picking people to go through them

If they cancel the fireworks they will still have the dessert party and won't refund you. I wouldn't cancel, it looks like just rain and no thunder

I wasn't randomly picked. I was wearing a poof winter coat that made me look like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.

On Twitter, @dlrpexpress has posted photos of some of the upcoming SW Original Trilogy Tsum Tsums.

Disneytsumtsum.com has also posted photos. I'm not sure if the release date is for Japan or where. Tsums usually release on the 1st Tuesday of the month for U.S. Disney outlets.

There are much better photos than these on the above sites^^

Disney has announced Tsums will be released twice per month so the first release of some SW Tsum Tsums will be the February 16th date.

tsumtsumcentral.com has more info.

Hopefully someone will report in on the "rain contingency" for the SW Dessert Party tonight.

By 6:30p, DHS canceled Fantasmic - 30 minutes in advance of showtime meaning they knew the rain wasn't going to let up. No reports of lightning, though.

Yeah, it's lightly training, I heard fireworks at 8 so I'm guessing they went off

along with more information on Star Wars land they will have a symphony orchestra announcing Star Wars in Concert for this year. If you love the music and it's anything like it was the last time they did it (maybe 3 or 4 years ago) it's awesome.

Star Wars in Concert

I'm intrigued! What's Star Wars in Concert?

You know what I would LOVE?!? OK... at the Kennedy Center over the holidays, they presented a screening of Home Alone (anniversary of that film release), with a live orchestra performing all of the music. Such fun!

That film is by 20th Century Fox, and when the orchestra played that opening credit music LIVE, we all thought "Wow!! What if they did this for Star Wars?!!?"

That's what I'd love to see.
