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

[gzmtlock]

No clue, it is strange that it goes from 9:30 to 9:15 since it will get darker later not earlier. I have a feeling is based on crowds and F! schedules

There are two F! shows most (every? I didn't look at each day) when the fireworks are at 9:15; I'd guess that's why the time moved back from 9:30.

With the fireworks starting later in March, will the Adventure Happens Here Character dance party go on beyond 7:30pm?

the party is not even on the entertainment schedule past Feb 20th. so I'm not sure what's happening there.

Thanks for the great thread keeping us updated! If Fantasmic is at 8:30 and the fireworks are at 9:15, will there be time to get out to see them? Seems like it took a long time to exit the theater last time. It's an EMH night.

It'll be tight but it can be done, not sure if they will move F! or not. Remember that if there are 2 F! shows the second is always less busy and easy to get into after the fireworks

Also, is Launch Bay open during early morning Extra Magic Hour?

Launch Bay is open for morning EMH (been there done that)

Also of note one day we went at RD (TSM was down) - Chewie was running late he didn't even start meeting for 20 minutes (normal day not EMH) - I stood in line while DH and DD explored - just FYI

Rey and BB-8 were added to the display window at Launch Bay.

So are the fireworks typically like 45 mins after F! ends? I'm going in mid May so hopefully they extend then trough May. Just wondering what should be the game plan? So far as the schedule is now the week were are there 5/14-5/21 F! is only once per night at 9pm. Where should we head and will we have enough time to get a good spot for the fireworks. And yes I know "good spot" is relative but I just mean unobscured and full view, I'm assuming down Hollywood Blvd? Does anyone know if Robo did one of those great maps to show the best locations? I'd love suggestions. Like I said thinking about the crowds leaving F! is usually shoulder to shoulder I'm thinking it will be tough to get a good fireworks spot.

It looks like they are changing the extended schedule and scheduling them to begin 15 minutes after Fantasmic ends. The original schedule through March 19th has the fireworks beginning 30 minutes after Fant.

I'm really hoping they move it because the second one would be during emh and we have a dance party to get to and rides to ride. thanks for the info!

Getting crazy excited to leave in a few days and meet Kylo Ren on Thursday morning!!! Yeah!!!

Can anyone who has met him give some tips on what we could say to him for some fun character interaction?

He's pretty intimidating. Most common thing seems to be to call him Ben. Talk about his dad or gramps, the girl, or the droid.

My son was too scared to say anything. He had all these things planned to say.

My son was the same way! Bought him a Kylo Ren hoodie to wear...which Kylo Ren seem to approve of, but my son didn't say a word! He talked about meeting him for weeks beforehand, and froze when we actually walked in lol It was still a fun experience though

here are the pics of what was added to Launch Bay, Rey and BB8

and also there's a new BB8 mickey ears hat that I should've taken a pic but I forgot

We went back tonight to see the fireworks. We had seen Darth Vader and Chewie last trip. My daughter kind of froze when she went in there. He is creepy. Pointing his finger right in your face.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I was wondering if the themed food and BB 8 drink cups etc will be available all year? I'm not going there until June/July and I was hoping to get some but I'm unclear if those things are only available until March.

I'm pretty sure it's sticking around

Add mine to the silly questions ... there are no plans to end the Star Wars fireworks are there? I vaguely remember reading that it might be temporary but I could be wrong about that. My son is into Star Wars and I think he would enjoy them. We'd prefer to wait to buy tickets until March but don't want to miss them. I couldn't find the dessert party on Disney's website so that made me wonder.

You don't have to buy separate tickets for the fireworks; they are included in your park admission. They will currently run through April but maybe longer. The only thing you need to buy separate is the dessert party, which is currently running through 3/19. You don't need to attend the dessert party to see the fireworks. In fact, you probably get a better view outside of the dessert party area. We don't know if the fireworks will run beyond April, but we think they will. We don't know if the dessert party will run beyond 3/19. That one is more tenuous.

Don't go master. We still need your guidance in the ways of the force Plus, I am only regurgitating the info that you post here first

Also remember that if you have the Disney Visa Credit Card you can meet Kylo with lower waits between 11am and 4pm

Thank you!! How long have the waits been for the chase line and where do you enter the chase line at? Also how many people per chase card can enter?
