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

[yulilin3]

I heard they have biscuits!!! Enjoy?
Just noticed they have changed time of party on 9/1 from 8:45 fireworks time to 7:30! But still can't book.

Let us know how Homecoming is, we are contemplating trying it this trip!

Homecoming is soooooo good. And we got to meet Art, he was walking around greeting guests. Had the Jasper board, fried chicken with mashed potatoes, biscuits. Mac and cheese, hush puppies and key lime pie. The best meal we've had at Disney springs so far

Im sorry if this has been discussed but I just saw this on the WDWInfo page and there is a link to it on the DIS message board main page. Is it true that there are now M&G and photo ops for people who pay for the Dessert Party? Is this basically VIP access to the Launch Bay and skipping lines for meeting the characters that are there or is this info wrong?

We planned a morning to do all of this but if we can do it during the Dessert Party it might free up a morning for us. Thanks for any info.

Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party

This dessert party will take place in Star Wars Launch Bay to give guests access to photo ops, characters, and exhibits, after which they will be led outside to a VIP viewing area for the fireworks. Food will include themed cupcakes, cookies, brownies, a selection of savory snacks such as cheese, flatbreads, and dips. There will be both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available.

I was wondering the same thing.

No special meet and greet but both Kylo and chewie have very short lines at night

I left for five hours .... got LOTS done, but all Disney got done was change a time. My, what a sweat they must have broken out in to............

I'm pretty sure that the SW characters are in their regular spots and you can visit them while at the party. I'm not sure if they are letting regular park guests in to the M&G space while the party is going on. If so, you are rolling the dice on how long it would take to meet them. IMO, I say try and get the M&G done sometime during the day and then enjoy the party.

Launch bay is open for everyone until park closing

So if Launch Bay is still open (and I have been there) where do they fit a couple hundred people and desserts in to?

The roped off area is down by the kylo meet, next to the bb8/Rey widowhood window
Edit to add: The food and drink and majority of tables are there and then they have scattered tables in the cantina area

Hi all,
Thanks you very much for the updates - I am late coming to this thread but I am keen to book the Dessert Party for August 1st. It will be our first day at Disney and my DSs 12, 15 (& me & DH) are big Star Wars fans. Can anyone advise what time in the day these things release normally - is it midnight EST? I am in Ireland so that would be too early in the morning for me! I sympathise with those who were on the Rumours of Light hunt in April - I enjoyed/endured that too!

Also, I have a couple of questions - will there be any tables in the Launch area, I know there are no chairs. Also, does anyone know how hard it is to get a spot outside where a short person / 12 year old child can see reasonably! I would hate to pay so much money and not see reasonably. Happy to arrive early but I assume that may not help given it will be a free for all heading out after the desserts??

Thanks!
Deirdre

I'm contemplating figuring how many times I've could have ridden FEA standby line opening day in the time it's taken them to fix this......

They've been updating the schedule only a month at a time, they should continue

It doesn't really have a set time for releasing, it's happened at all times if the day and night
There are high bar tables at Launch bay, no chairs. If you want a front of the rope spot leave about 20 minutes before the dessert party is about to end. If the front is packed hang out in the back, there tends to be more space and you'll have empty space in front as a buffer

Thanks! I'll have to keep watching. I called twice today and was told different things!
