Hours were updated last week, I updated the first page of this thread then. I check several times a day on the hub for updates, as soon as the dessert party shows up I'll let you guys know

So I finally convinced DH to take the plunge, go on to sign up, and the 16th is sold out...

So for late August it's Fantasmic at 8:30, SW Fireworks at 8:45? Arrrgh.

keep checking. Since the cancellation policy is one day people tend to cancel the day before.

yep. No way to do both on the same night

Will do! They were available last night- hard to believe they sold out that fast. On hold now to see if calling helps. Plan B is to go to your spot in front of the theater before the show and watch from there.

Huge format pic of the new Star Wars Land, you can really see the details on this one. This is from Disneyland but I expect ours to be very similar

So aggravating. And won't the fireworks distract from the Fantasmic show?

I'm not sure. By minute 16 of F! they are in the villains section, when they take over. The effects at F! during this portion are a bit louder. Not sure if you can see the fireworks at all from the F! theaters. I guess we will need to wait for reports.

I want to say that when they first posted the fireworks schedule for July there was only a 15 min gap between them, then it was adjusted to be longer. Hopefully for August they will do the same.

Either way we are planning to do just the fireworks for our 8/27 HS day. DD5 was scared when we saw Fantasmic last February, so we planned on skipping it anyway. Now just not-so-patiently waiting for dessert party to be available for that date.

Pics from the outdoor set up

Yay!! Awesome

In this pic the person with the white shirt is standing directly behind someone in a wheelchair. I don't think you'll be separated if you get there with enough time. Maybe leave the dessert party area around 9pm for the 9:30pm fireworks (in other words give yourself 30 minutes instead of coming out with everyone 15 minutes prior)

Sorry but, what is in front of the people sitting ? Is that the walkway? What are the people in front of that ?
Thanks

yes the front rope is a walkway. Guests will not be able to stop right in front of those ropes, there's a second tape closer to center stage and that area can be used to stand for the show. So basically right in front of the front ropes of the dessert party area is clear of people

 

[yulilin3]

@old feller here's a better pic of the kids and wheel chair area and the ropes behind them. You can see the walkway being used

 

[bilnsheldodisney]

Also, for people not doing the dessert party but still want an awesome spot for the show. Grab your spot behind the dessert party roped off area. Since everyone in the dessert area tend to go toward the front and the back is left 2 rows of people empty, you will have a more unobstructed view. I am also short (5'2") and I grabbed a spot there and saw the show perfectly.

short girls rule! 5' 2.5" here!!

Bless Kenny's heart, he's great at the character stuff, none better. But I'm going to venture to guess that 90% of the rest of his info on his site comes from posts he reads here. Because it never fails, I'll read a park schedule change here and a few hours later I'll get a blog update from Kenny that repeats what I've read here already.

This will be my first dessert party of any kind...well hopefully,we are going in sept....the people standing in front of the walkway are just walk ups ? I assume they will have to get there very early correct ?..I am paying to avoid just that... They do not block the view ..do they ? This seems a little expensive to me and I just wanted all the info I can get...Thanks for helping

There's too much distance between the roped area and that section for them to block
