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

[JayLeeJay]

I had a Star Wars Weekends sad moment today. We stopped in our local Barnes and Noble and they were having a Star Wars event to celebrate the new Star Wars: Ahsoka book. Both the author and Ashley Eckstein were there signing the book. We didn't have time to wait in the line but she was so nice to everyone she was meeting, as she always is. The event started at 2pm and at 4:30pm when we got there she was still so energetic. The line was also still long and it looked like they were going to stay until everyone in line had a chance to meet them. It made me sad that the meet and greets and shows with Star Wars actors are no more.

In addition to the book author and Ashley, they also had a bunch of Star Wars characters available for pictures - Darth Vader, Chewy, stormtroppers, Anakin, etc. Their costumes were really good! Chewy was so similar to Disney's but I think he had a cold because his voice was little off.

PHEW ... I'm squared eye-ed now since i read the first 10 pages of this thread and then picked up again around the middle of Sept this year so i could get a feel for all things Star Wars related and now have a few questions. Totally aware that all the answers will be based on speculation but that's better than what i have now!

Current plan is to be in the Studios on Sat Jan 28 and the hours are presently set at 9 - 7 --- since that is the weekend of the ProBall Game i'm fully aware those might change. We are hoping to attend the dessert party to celebrate our son's 30th b-day. F! is set for 7 pm (the entire week in fact) if that is any indication of plans.

I've read that the Star Wars fireworks (yeah i don't know the short-form being used, shoot me ) are starting up again New Year's Eve. Thoughts as to will they still be going on the end of January?

IF they are and there is a dessert party that night, any guesses as to times of both of those events? Trying to co-ordinate a meal at Sci-Fi with the 2 others in our party who won't be going (our pockets are only so deep!!) Figure we can do a later lunch but times for that are sparse.

Thanks for any help, colour me one very tired and confused mom

The show should continue but it might not be nightly. Currently they are doing it 4 times a week. The show, Star Wars a Galactic Spectacular or SWaGS is about 12 minutes long, the closing times for the park might change but it if they stay at 7pm the show will probably be around 6:30. No way to know for sure though.

The event for the 17th still shows on the Hub but is not ready to give out to the public, I check every day, multiple times a day, when I see something I let you guys know . If course things can change so it's never a fact until it's released to the public

It's on the calendar

since it is rumored to be a 8-midnight event. Would it likely be like the villains party and not a dessert party? Just speculating here as I imagine I will not have much time to respond if I want tickets. This is the arrival date for my family and they are interested.But if I remember right they are expensive and non-refundable or transferable. I know alls peculation... just trying to be prepared.

If it's anything like last years event, its gonna be more like the halloween or Christmas parties. Star tours, rocking roller-coaster and tower will be opened. Some character meet and greets and the star wars fireworks.

Oh, I think they're just showing up blue now! They should be bookable in the next day or so.

When booking these dessert parties, should a 2-year old be included in the "party size?" I know I'm supposed to include her when making regular ADRs....but for something like this, would it charge me for her if I include her in my count?

I believe you count her and then they ask the ages to charge accordingly

You are ready to take over the thread

Never! You are doing such a great job that we're all learning and can step in whenever you're gone for a bit.

Is there somewhere I can read about last year's event? What was it called and I can look it up. Thanks!
EDIT: I did find some links to the announcement of the event two years ago. Are there any reviews of the event?

Has anyone booked the desert party for the 11th Nov? I was trying within an hour of the dates being available (turning blue) and it says no table available? Would they sell out THAT quick?

 

[yulilin3]

Was at DHS last night. Checked out the LB dessert party set up and they have added even more tables, since the capacity went up

I also love looking at the intricate details on the tables they put in the Cantina area, I thing these are the coolest

I had friends that were watching the show for the first time but they were also doing Club Villain so my daughter and I decided to grab the best spots for them. Got there at 6:15pm for the 8pm show and the front of the walkway was about full, Here's a pic while I was sitting down

While waiting I heard someone calling my name, and guess what? It was @Cluelyss she was on her way to the dessert party. Really cool to finally meet you in person, hope you had a great time and can't wait for your review
Some pretty sunset pic

And my artsy pic of the night/ That's my daughter's head

My friends liked the show but didn't like that the fireworks were off center. They did bring us some goodies from the CV party so we got to try the Maleficent cupcake and Queen Of Hearts cupcake
