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

Here at dhs and the two towers are not getting anymore theming :( light are installed on top and one of them has no construction walls around so I guess they are staying like that . Got pics and will post them tonight
Yep. They are interesting but if you look at them facing the Chinese theater they don't blend in. If you look at them facing the park entrance then yes they blend in a bit better.
 

Does HS historically stay open later than 8:30pm in August? Trying to figure out if I have enough time if we get there around 6:00 to go on a couple of rides & attend the dessert party. (What time do they start admitting people for the party?)
How late can we go into the dessert party and still get a decent spot? What time do the fireworks go off?
I want to see if we can see launch bay & ride star tours on an arrival day (flying in around 4:30pm, but have to check in, ride bus over, etc...)
Do they ever have later hours in the summer?

I dunno... that kinda infers "temporary" to me... as if this might all change once the new lands are in place.

During Summer DHS usually closes at 10pm. Fireworks schedule is only out until July 2nd and they go off at 9:45pm. If you get the dessert party you can get a good table by lining up around 8:15pm they open the dessert party area at 8:30pm if the fireworks are at 9:45pm

I don't think fireworks are going anywhere at DHS. I think some type of show will be there from now until who knows when. They didn't have the infrastructure before like MK does so they had to do this. They also can't really blend them in like the castle turrets at MK.
 
I know this was discussed before, but yesterday was my first time experiencing the new Jedi Training show.

The explanation of how the characters weren't real felt like it came from someone who doesn't have kids. We had criers and deserters in our group. They definitely thought the characters were real.

On a positive note, I like the pin they receive instead of the certificate!

They tell the kids its not real?????? My ds has always been convinced he is fighting the real vader ( not quite sure how that sits with the whole vader is dead thing as he knows the movies well.

the new JT is based on an episode in SW Rebels, the Jedi master and apprentice enter the temple to face the trials of becoming a Jedi. In the temple their worst fears seem to materialize but they are only visions and they have to face them in order to continue their training.
So Vader, Sevent Sister and Kylo are the jedis worst fears and they must fight them to conquer that fear...it can all be lost on little kids for sure
 
Thanks. We have seen that one so ds should be ok. He can't tell you what he does at school all day but he seems to know everything star wars related...

Thank you for such a great thread, I've been lurking for a while waiting on July fireworks and desert party news.

I approve :D
Next time he doesn't want to do school work or clean his room or anything else, just quote Qui Gon Jinn " Your focus determines your reality" see if that helps :)

When should we watch for the dessert party? If we do not get it, is there anywhere else to see the Star Wars fireworks that does not involve standing in a crush of people?

I don't mean that the fireworks are leaving - I think that would stay but I'm thinking more along the lines of a rework of main street or the Chinese theater.

The dessert party has opened only a few weeks in advance so keep checking this thread. As to where to stand, the new show will have projections on the Chinese Theatre and two screens to the side so it'll have to be close to center stage
 
When I'm scheduled to be at WDW during the last week of August/first week of Sept almost every night the closing time at HWS is at 8:00. Obviously that's too early for fireworks. Doesn't look promising...

I wouldn't worry just yet - they haven't updated the July hours yet either and that INCLUDES the 4th of July!
