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

When we were there last weekend, no sign of the SW drinks and glow cubes at Backlot Express, but it looks like another poster had found them at HBD?

(Which restaurant is HBD?)

I assume it's Hollywood Brown Derby - looks like the bar outside of it.

^^^Yes it's Hollywood Brown Derby - outside bar area. There is a lounge area you can sit at or just walk up to the bar and order drinks to go.

Jim Hill says the new firework show will have a lot of projections with less pyro because of the proximity to AK.

Hmmm.. I dunno... it's not like they're moving the firing position of the main shells back THAT far - is a mile or two difference going to impact the animals that much more?

Resting after a ridiculously HOT day at HS today.

Chewy and Kylo Ren are awesome meet and greets. Kylo Ren liked my Darth Vader dress.

The captain Phasma patrol is really fun. I was standing right at the tape line and the troopers were RIGHT THERE in my face. I wasn't anticipating that.

The other show is better in person than it was watching online but still a one and done. Can't seem to share pictures.

I miss the streets of America and its hard to do HS without having to walk across the park over and over. Launch bay was pretty empty at 2:00 but the 3:00 Indy we were going to see (but ended up skipping) was packed and standing room only. So I'd call crowds weird. Sometimes seems super empty and other times packed.

I can see some validity to this that they will focus a lot on the projections and not so much on the pyro. I haven't looked into how close the launch site and AK are. The animals are out at night which is why it's affecting them now apparently.

Projections are a lot cheaper than fireworks!!! Also, it is really hard to watch both at the same time. Standing on Main Street in DL with projections on the buildings on both sides and on the castle plus trying to watch the fireworks puts your head on a constant swivel. I remember saying afterwards I didn't feel like I saw half the fireworks as I was watching the projections.

The projection for this particular show will be on the GMR building and two other screens located on each side, the fireworks will launch behind and slightly to the right so no need to swivel. That being said I'm sure that there will be a big decline of fireworks and a heavier presence of projections and lasers

Any word on anything special at WDW? I'm finally going to be at HS on May 4th and really hoping they'll have something.

no word, I posted the same question on the DPB post, my comment is still awaiting moderation, I'm going either way, maybe they will surprise us with some extra characters

That's disappointing if true (and I'll lay it at the feet of making the show cheaper rather than concern over the animals)

Also - You REALLY want to do a rotating theme of sorts - Star Wars is great now but maybe you want to do Toy Story fireworks for when Toy Story 4 comes out. Maybe if Moanna goes Frozen big you want to setup a show for that. DHS is the perfect vehicle for showcasing that sort of thing. Projection goes a long way towards that and can be altered for the theme (not so much lasers and fire streams from the theater)

More and more I don't think they're thinking these things through.

From the comments I guess I'm not the only one wondering about May the 4th here now to see if they answer

The characters will be S, O, R, R, and Y.
