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

I can't sit on the floor, so that's not an option for me. Not sure they will ever have seating for the viewing portion of the party

well I could sit but I might not ever get back up again.

We definitely valued the chairs at the WoC dessert party! We paid the $79 for a party of 8 and would do it again in a heartbeat. Not only did we have chairs, but we were served by very friendly CMs, rather than jockey for desserts at a buffet station. This worked especially well for our kids in our group, who could sit and eat and we didn't have to juggle plates, cups and try to keep them out of harm's way with people milling about. If they offered this option for the Star Wars dessert party, I would be all over it.

Loved WoC when I saw it! They didn't have this option when I went a few years ago but if we go again, I'm definitely all over this!

I feel this way by the end of Disney days... after walking 10 miles...

Thought this visual would be helpful for those who are unfamiliar with the entire setup, as I was going into it. There are two lines of blue circles that the kids sit on, one near the wall and one nearer the rope. As of Wednesday this week, the line nearer the rope fought Darth Vader.

Thank you so much for this information. My daughter got in the line closest to the rope and she did fight Darth Vader. The picture was a big help. Thanks again

I just cancelled my dessert party for tomorrow night for 1 adult and 1 child if anyone is looking for an opening. I'm not sure if that counts as 1 day notice for a refund but I hope so. My Dad unexpectedly is headed into heart surgery today so we had to push our trip back.

Hope all is well. I know what it is like to worry about a parent in the hospital. I hope your Dad has a complete and speedy recovery. And please let your SW family here on the thread know how he is doing. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!

I am traveling with a friend in a wheelchair and another that will not be able to stand for long periods of time. We love Star Wars and really look forward to the show. Any advice to make this a wonderful night would be appreciated.

Unfortunately they don't have a dedicated wheel chair/general seating area. Best thing to do is get a spot early so that the tape from the walkway is directly in front of you, that way you will have a buffer in front of you.
Here's the walkway looking towards the Hyperion Theater, you want to be where the 2 red strollers are

Here's another perspective, you want to be where the lady in the ECV is, this is looking towards the Brown Derby

If all the front spot is taken the area where the red double stroller is, is another good spot. People will move forward in this front spot, when they do, DON'T MOVE FORWARD, stay so that the walkway tape is directly behind you and you will also have a bit of a buffer
Hope this helps

We are considering the dessert party. Is the spot they take you to just for us or ? Again with wheelchair in mind... And the love of dessert parties!

Oh I see. They gave a wheel chair area for the dessert party, inside you'll have lower, reserved tablesand outside reserved spots, just for party goers. After they have the wheelchairs and their parties in the spots any open space is left for kids to move up

We currently have tickets to two dessert parties (one was gifted to us and the other we booked ourselves beforehand). Trying to decide which party to keep, so I went to check and it looks like the party on Friday, 9/23 is sold out. We also have Monday, 9/26 booked. Friday would undoubtedly be the easier of the two to keep given the flow of our plans for that day, but now that it's a sold out party, I'm wondering if we should keep the Monday instead even though the party would start 30min earlier... There is PM EMH so I'm sure that is one of the reasons the Friday party has sold out; that's also one of the reasons we chose Friday ourselves other than the fact that we planned to do EP in the morning and DHS in the evening. By moving it to Monday, we would be hopping from MK, so slightly less convenient, but not a sold out party just yet, and may not potentially. Any thoughts or advice on which day we should keep?

What is the listed capacity for those parties? Is it still the 175 that has been the magic number as of late?

 

[mickeyworld]

Thanks....

I'm going to present a hypothetical scenario:
How would you guys feel if they offered the dessert party with seating, raised the price but limited the number of guests allowed? So instead of the 175 that is now maybe it would go down to 60 so that the chairs can fit

Seating inside would be great, especially for parties with kids or people with limited mobility, and less people would definitely reduce the congestion. if they did this, I would want to know that the outside viewing area had been reduced to party-goers advantage (e.g. the back rope moved up instead of the side ropes in) before I would consider paying more for the party. Needing to go out early to ensure a good view greatly diminishes the value of the party in my mind.

Sadly I can't confirm capacity, but I'd say definitely go with what fits tour plan flow better, whichever is more convenient and less stressful, which sounds like Friday. More than likely the Monday party will sell it out too, so I wouldn't use that as a factor to decide. I'm sure you'll have great time! And how awesome that you got gifted one!!!!!!

175 is still capacity

Does anyone know if the Star Wars fireworks show will continue through mid October? It says "schedule unavailable" on My Disney Experience.

Probably not going anywhere.

From the the first posts

THE WDW CALENDAR HAS ONLY BEEN UPDATING THE DATES ABOUT 45 DAYS OUT, EVERY 3 WEEKS OR SO

Yay!!! someone that reads the first page

I think we all intuitively know that it's a huge effort to keep the first post updated, so until we actually see it and read it, we just assume a thread with over 500 pages can't possibly have any timely info on page one.

Thank you for all the work you put into making that assumption false.

you might want to consider renting a chair for the one who can't stand for long periods. That way she will have it for the end of the day and the SW show.
