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

Yep, just bring something you feel comfortable leaving on the table. We saw things on a few tables while their "owners" were getting food. Folks are typically quite courteous and realize something on that table means it's taken. Heck, worse case, print out a card to bring with you that says something like "I'm off grabbing a bite to eat" or something quirky, to indicate it's your table and not an empty one.

I travel solo all the time and I've actually done the sign thing! I will probably go with a jacket and drink on the table, or something else I wouldn't mind losing. Sounds like it won't be an issue. Thanks for responding!

They open the area and everyone tends to go grab a table first. You can always leave things or ask people on the next table to watch your stuff. You can also invite others to join you if you are by yourself. I've done 3 dessert parties and it's usually myself or just my daughter and I and we always invite other people if they want to join. Great way to make new/temporary friends

I've done F&W solo and shared tables there and it was great! Glad to hear that wouldn't be unusual at the dessert party either. I just like to know what to expect.

Thanks to both of you for the quick and helpful info!

Do you think Disney is considering getting rid of the dessert party all together to have more space for everyone? Just a question...I agree that we all know this show will continue on, it has has an overwhelming positive response

I doubt it, seems to me an easy way for them to make some money. My guess around the lateness in getting the calendar extended may be to an uncertainty in the timing on when to start the party? Total guess on my part. I'm waiting as impatiently as the next person for August to open up.

I'd be really surprised if they got rid of it, for sure, but with the show having more limited ideal viewing I can understand the question. I'd be more likely to think that they'd decide they could charge MORE for it if the viewing is that much better!!

@yulilin3 Those last pics you posted are AWESOME!!!

I'm here at DHS right now to see the show (and dessert party) tonight. I plan to check in super early because I have my walker and can't stand at a table, so I'll need a wheelchair table.

Right now I'm killing time at the Frozen singalong, lol.

Love the pictures of the party area. Do you think (at the tables showing for wheelchairs) that 2 ECV's would be able to get to them? Pop is 84 with 3 fractured vertebrae- no way he can stand at a table and leave ECV outside area. Sis has knee issues so same issue. No need to worry about driving to get the desserts and drinks- they've got me for that! Of course this is in hopes that this continues into October when we will be staying on property.
Thanks for such an informative and fun thread!

Just let them know when you check in and it won't be a problem. If it's a problem to navigate in they can drop the front ropes and you can go in that way

The dessert party is more important to this show than ever, in my opinion. It will be something we do every trip, provided it's offered. I will gladly pay the money for the party vs. staking out a spot on the street so early.
And no matter how bad your table is at the dessert party you can move. Folks seem to forget this. You are not required to stand at your table during the fireworks so it doesn't matter at all if you have a tree blocking your view. Just move to where there is no tree blocking your view. As long as you don't block someone else, (finding a spot to avoid that won't be an issue) you are fine.

This is awesome to hear! I didn't know how much space there was to stand somewhere other than at your table to get a better view.

Dessert party is showing up on the events operations team page on the HUB until 7/23, so it will continue on

Thanks for the update! Funny how they're not even booking a full month at a time, rather, a few weeks at a time!! Hard to plan ahead.

I don't know about you but I think they've added more tables to the thing and can't imagine why they'd even remotely consider getting rid of it. Not when it makes them money.

The Wishes Dessert Party used to book in a similar manner
I'll never understand their mindset on these types of things

 

[emilymad]

not completely bad, you might have trees blocking one of the side screens. You should still be able to see the Chinese Theater and the fireworks

Thanks! The only way we will consider seeing this show is with the dessert party. We don't do well with crowds or staking out a spot for hours.

If anything I see them raising the price of dessert party and that is what the delay is.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate all you do for this thread and all of us following it!

I found a good picture to show you what I mean when I say to be able to completely enjoy this show you need to see the 2 side screens. This was obviously taken using a taller monopod

Glad to see this. I wrote an e-mail about the planning frustrations those of us going in July are currently having (like the months before us have had, and those after us continue to have) with the park hours. I specifically mentioned this show, and the dessert party- as well as the (at that point) 8:30 park closing for DHS. I got a call back, and the woman I spoke to told me that DHS is closing early because "with everything that is closed to build the 2 new lands it didn't need to be open later. You can get through everything much faster now without much waiting". She also is supposed to be looking into the dessert party for me for the week we are there- she found it "odd" that she/her section did not have any information on it going past the 9th as well. Though she could tell me that the show would be at 9:15. She was going to call me back when she found out more information. So far, no news...

Also, for those wondering about fp after the original 3
We had a 3:40 -4:40 tsmm 4:50-5:50 st and 6:05 little mermaid. As soon as we scanned for little mermaid I was able to get a 6:30-7:30 gmr, after I scanned there I checked and could've picked from tsmm, tot, rnrc, muppetvision, st or F!

Yeah, the HUB has both SWaGS and the dessert party listed until July 9th

Short review...I was there on the 17th for the new fireworks show. Booked dessert party. Thought the dessert's weren't as good as for SWW last year but I ate a ton of them. Great selection and found lots of things I liked. The drinks were a little strong, for me that was GREAT! The fireworks were awesome. I recommencement highly doing the dessert party for these fireworks.
