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

[soniam]

short girls rule! 5' 2.5" here!!

I'm short too I claim 5'4", but it's probably more like 5'3".

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

The CMs do not let people linger. Plus, you can always feel free to ask them to move along yourself, if the CMs don't see them immediately. We had no problems in March with anyone in that walkway. The CMs were very vigilant about making people move on. The SW dessert party is the best one to do. We will be doing it for the second time this year in about a week and a half. They are expensive, but this one is worth it. I have done the Wishes and Illuminations parties. I would never do Wishes again. Epcot is so different now from when we did it, but I would consider doing it again. I don't think you will regret it.

Is there any sort of meet and greet at the party? Wondering if I should have my daughter wear her Rey costume.

No M&G in the party per se. However, the Chewie and Kylo Ren meet and greets are in Launch Bay. Plus, there is informal interaction with the Jawas sometimes.

If she wants to wear her Rey costume she should. Like @soniam said since the party is inside Launch Bay you could meet both Kylo and Chewie with minimal wait, it's usually a walk up or at the most 10 minutes. Plus the party location is right next to the Rey/BB8 and her speeder display so it would make for a cute pic

Will they be having the SW Desert Party in Oct?
and again trying to see if worth it, what is estimated cost per adult and per child?
Also think of doing halloween party during our trip, so not sure in budget to do both.
Thanks for thoughts and suggestions

No way to know for sure if they will continue on with the party. They have released only until the end of this month, so far
Adults is $69 kids 3 to 9 $39
Only you can decide if the party is worth it to you and your family. You get a guaranteed spot for viewing the show, unlimited desserts/savory items, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and a Chewbacca Stein

I can't believe I am less than 30 days out and can't book this gosh darn dessert party. i know...patience you must have my young padawan....and all that but I am NOT feeling it at the moment. Having a little freak out!! (and yes, here in my house, I am using really bad language...I have a potty mouth...)

Maybe too soon to tell? But, was wondering what fellow SW's fans and DIS experts thought...Currently stalking for an 8/4 SW's Dessert Party due to that being our Daddy/Daughter HS's SW's day as part of her short surprise bday trip...We'll be in the park all day now (DH's request-traded Akershus princess lunch on the way for a Minnie's Dine dinner-I know the valuable stomach room we're wasting doing that, but at his request ) My two minions are night owls, (I know, against DIS RD normal) so I had us in the park around 11:00a til SW's fireworks at 9:30p (prior to the party move inside Launch Bay, I thought there would be plenty of time to fill the day from 11a til TS dinner at 5:45p. Now, scratching my head?) If M&G times are so low, and time to look around during the party; do you guys think there is truly enough to do earlier to fill the day? We have FP's for ToT, Rock Coaster, & Star Tours. Then, I wanted us to see the short SW's stage shows, Launch Bay everything; lower priority to fill time-meet Mickey/Minnie, Great Movie Ride (if wait reasonable), & TSM (big IF wait reasonable). Look around the gift shops (DH's faves on property). If you knew it was important to your spouse to spend the whole day in the park once there, and you knew SW's was the focus of the day, and you knew you had the dessert party time now for probable low wait Launch Bay, AND you knew your minions were night owls & would sleep in as late as you would let them (AP so no worries on burning park tix's & only day to really sleep in for them); when would you plan on arriving at HS? I'm sorry for asking a question that really boils down to choice, but with only one other family trip under our belt (during the last SW's weekend of 2015); I'm rather ignorant on the subject (and scary thought , DH is counting on me as the "planner" (dun dun dun...) Thanks in advance guys!

I hear you. Us 2. It's very frustrating....but on the bright side, we are of the few who visit here and are in the know. So I am confident that we will get our spots well before most. I'm sure this thread will light up like...well...a lightsaber as soon as August opens up.

You and me both. Arriving August 8!

Right there with ya! Arriving 3 weeks from tomorrow and just booked our trip yesterday morning. Snagged a BOG lunch, that's all I wanted, was doing good..... Then saw this dessert party, quickly talked myself into it.... Then nothing. Hopefully they'll put us out of our misery soon!

That's the day I'm stalking too! We can share in our misery lol.

August 9 arrival for us. )

Thank you!!! So hard to coordinate personal preference and focus when different dynamics this year (and my ignorance of being the "planner" lol!!)

 

[RobOhhh]

August 9 arrival for us. )

I've been lurking in these forums for the better part of a month and finally decided to join. My family and I are arriving on the same date and we CAN'T WAIT for this dessert party to go up! We're looking to book for Saturday the 13th. Normally we wouldn't drop $300+ on a dessert party, but HEY... this is STAR WARS we're talking about.

 

[Tia1977]

I do love SW's, don't get me wrong... But, I'm in the camp of "it's my spouse" lol!!! Disney in general is DD's & my "thing". SW's anything is DD's and DH's thing. (I know it's serious when he's asking me the daily "DIS" info on something, bc his normal response to DIS info is )

We have never done a dessert party. I was trying to choose between this and an Illuminations cruise. After seeing some videos and watching Lou Mongello's live stream from this the other night I was sold.

Now just to get August to,open. I wonder why they are waiting.
