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

[AngiTN]

Just to clarify since I haven't really looked into this well, there's still no seating in this new dessert party right? Thanks!

Correct. Standing only

Just trying to figure out what to do about dinner. How early we'll need to eat in order to not be stuffed by the start of the dessert party. We have H&V at 5:40 on our DHS day so I'm thinking we'll either need to move/cancel it or pick a different night for the dessert party.

We have a reservation at 6:00 for Sci Fi but we are not going to eat desserts. I tried to change it but there is nothing available so I guess we will stick with 6:00

Will the Star Wars characters be open for meet and greet during evening EMH?

 

[AngiTN]

So if you've got an 8:15 RSVP for the dessert party how early should you get in line? 7?

I really do not think it is critical to be there that early unless you want to be. They don't over sell it. You will have a table. You will be able to see. Get your bands as soon as they bring them out so that is out of the way. Get in line about 30 min before check in time

It's really your choice, they've been opening the area 15 minutes before advertised time, right now they say 8:45 and they open at 8:30...

Yes they are meeting during emh

Personally I was somewhat disappointed in the new show. We got there 90 minutes before showtime and staked out prime real estate. Some of the tech was really cool... It was just a very disjointed show bouncing around and showing the same StarWars clips shown in 2 or 3 other areas of the park. No real story behind it that I could detect. It almost felt random. Normally these build to a crescendo but I just didn't feel it.

Also the fireworks are way off to the right side so looking down the street if you were in a bit back from the stage you couldn't even see them.


Best part was the big SuperStarDestroyer. They sure made you feel how huge it was supposed to be!

Was it bad? No... Kids thought it was cool but all agreed not worth a 90 minute wait nor the $350 a desert party would run. YMMV

Ugh, I might not be able to make it to Hollywood studios tonight. It looks like it'll be raining and I'm streaming later from mk.
Right now just waiting at the Contemporary, if I see that it'll stop in time for the show I'll go.
If not I'm going tomorrow with the kids

With the new show, how bad would the weather have to be to cancel the show? Any rain? Just lightning? With the desert party being non refundable I'm wondering the odds of it being canceled. I know fireworks still go off in rain but this being so much more makes me wonder. I'll be there in mid Sept rainy season.

Right now on July 4th, Fantasmic is scheduled for 9pm and Fireworks at 9:15pm. This doesn't make sense to me. Park closing at 9:30pm?

I'm guessing lightning and heavy rain would cancel it other than that it should go on.
If it rains the dessert party gets moved inside and they leave the outside area roped off so that people can come out and watch them show.
Cancellation policy is 1 day so you can check the forecast and decide. Money will not be refunded if the actual show is canceled same day

They will probably add a F! And change the hours

Hi Everyone!

So excited to see the Star Wars fireworks in August! I am scheduled to visit HS 2 days and the parks close at 8pm one day and 8:30pm on our second visit. They will still be showing the fireworks correct (even thought the parks are not open late)? Booking fastpasses tomorrow So just want to make sure

Thanks

I've seen on another thread someone say that it's hard for kids/short people to see since everyone is standing... What's a good place to watch the fireworks with kids then? Thanks!

Sorry to just jump in...what time would the bands be distributed for an 8:15 pm party?
I'm looking to find the best time to eat dinner. Thanks!!

I'm getting pics for you and everyone else tonight on the places i think would be the best for short people and kids

 

[yulilin3]

Not a good day to judge last minute spots...it's super empty here, everyone left because of the rain. It's light drizzling now, at 9pm

 

[wdwalice]

Probably around 7

Perfect! Much thanks!!

 

[amycakes]

Ok, watched all the way on the front, by the ropes at center stage. Not ideal as you lose some of the side screens but you get a good view of the Chinese theater. Kids would net to be carried for then to see better. Some kids were standing on their strollers (the seat not the canopy)
