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

[yulilin3]

What happen when JTA is cancelled due to bad weather?

I haven't heard any recent reports. But it's always been that when they cancel, the kids and 1 parent gets to meet Darth Vader on the upper deck o inside Star Tours

There's a new Build a Lightsaber station at MouseGears at Epcot. So that makes 4 different places in WDW where you can build your own lightsaber

Party capacity has changed once again. It went back down to 140. I think this will be the magic number

How can they change it if more then that has already sold for a specific night?

not sure how that works. I feel that this is for future bookings after a specific dates. It seems to me that since someone reported spots opening up for August, maybe all the August dates are 160 and after it'll be back to 140? I really don't know

So here's the spot. Sorry I only took 2 pics I was chatting with a friend that was visiting.
Basically the walkway that goes From Launch Bay to Hyperion Theater is behind me, I'm right by the tape. The dessert party is behind me as well.These wer taken at 9:20pm
Looking towards my left at the Hyperion

Looking towards my right

as you can see a lot of empty space. Keep in mind that it rained all day today, it stopped maybe around 6pm so maybe a lot of people left. I will give this spot another try and report back

i wont' be back until january but I expect you guys to save me a spot in "my spot" when I come then

it definitely worked all 3 times we tried it -- granted I haven't had a stroller/kids along while using this spot so not sure about how well it will work to bring one of those -- but after everyone stands up there is MORE than enough room for many more people

I have been stalking MDE and the Studios calendar for Galactic Spectacular times and Dessert Party reservations in October. Should I be concerned that there is nothing on the calendar yet nor are there Party reservations available? Last Party date as of now is Sep. 24.

 

[nemofans]

I have been watching that too. I just think October hasn't been released yet. I am hoping times will be the same as Sept. 24th.

October times and parties are expected to be released later this month. They've been updating the calendar 4-6 weeks in advance.

 

[PatMcDuck]

I am another October guest, and they have not extended park hours for studios or AK for Oct either. Also CM guest blockout days not up for Oct. It is maddening. But, First World Problems, so I will (try to) be patient.

 

[AGoofykindagirl]

I'm also watching for October. Hoping to do a party on Oct 12, because no Halloween party at MK may mean better chance for spot at party (more people going to MK on only open weekday evening). Will just keep watching this wonderful thread and trying the reservation page. Fingers crossed for all of us (& those waiting for later months than ours)!

 

[yulilin3]

For all of you going the first week of October. It seems that DHS will close at 6pm on Oct. 6th Other than that, I'm hoping we get an updated calendar in a couple of weeks.

That just seems so early to close...hard to believe that they don't have enough interest in evening stuff. Is that for a CM or other special event? The hours before and after that date seem a bit later, but still only 7:30...

I'm trying to find out. I know that the special cm party is at Mk this year, but it does seem like a park buyout

Well there goes all of my plans. I could maybe switch my second Epcot day to the 6th, but I doubt I will be able to get another FEA FP+. This really stinks.

I think Oct. 6th early closing time has been posted on the schedule for a while, has it not?
