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

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

My 21 year old who loves Star Wars is going to be thrilled with his surprise. I was just able to get 2 spots for the dessert party on Friday May 26th. I've been trying for months.
I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but he is so now I'll get to do this for the 3rd time - what's funny is after the first time, I said I did it once and was done. 2nd time was with my husband who loved it and now with my son.

Never say one and done.........

The website makes it seem like there's a tour on Friday, 8/4. Does that seem right? Maybe the dates on the website are not accurate. I don't think the time is. We booked the dessert party for that Friday.

We are doing it for the 3rd time too First time was the old show with all of us. Second time was the new show and just DH and I. This time DS will get to see the new show.

EDIT: The second time we did it was when we met you We were Rachel (OhioStateBuckeye) and Brian.

A quick question for anyone who has done the tour. I saw someone mentioned earbuds are used to hear some of what the tour guide is saying. How important are those and would regular headphones work, since my kids find that earbuds don't stay in their ears very well? Thanks for any advice on this!

I think regular head phones would be fine. I would even bring regular earbuds for you. I found their earbuds very uncomfortable.

It gives a 3:00 time for Friday July 14th, we have the dessert party reserved, now I'm nervous about the tour reports....

I don't think the tour starts that late does it? I am curious if it really is on Fridays.

That's a lot of Chewie steins. We have 6 and are out of space for them.

The tour I booked for June 17 (Saturday) starts at 3pm. I'm not sure if it's because of a later fireworks start time or what, but they specifically said 3pm on both the website and on the phone when I booked it.

We quit picking them up after the first one. 3 was enough

Well, they may be offering the tour on other days then, unless the website is wonky, which never happens

I end up giving them as gifts to friends/family who like star wars. I can't see having more than one sitting around the house. They're fun, but kinda oddly shaped, not super conducive for using as an actual cup. Not bad for munching on small crackers or candies. I wish they'd have the Boba Fett one out there soon, just to get a matching set of sorts.

I'd love to see a Darth Vader one. Even R2D2 would be good...why just Chewie? It's been about a year now, hasn't it, with just one mug choice?

Oh totally, I just know they also sell the Boba Fett steins at the various quick service outlets. So it wouldn't be a new run, just an additional option

Star Wars Birthday Party or Star Wars Movie Party with friends! Let the kids take them home filled up when they're ready to leave. Would love an invite!

I have the dessert party booked for Aug 28th. Should we plan to see the characters during the party or earlier in the day? THanks!

See you there, in passing anyway.

That's an even better idea! My son has friends who are brothers close in age. I'll stash ones we get this time in the back of the cupboard so he can give those to his friends after summer is over. Can you say star wars marathon + sugar rush?!

Somewhere in this thread, I believe Jedi Master yulilin3 had advice about when to line up for the march to the viewing area at the end of the Dessert Party if you weren't going to leave early to get a good spot. I doubt DS is going to want to miss being escorted by Stormtroopers, so do you mind repeating your suggestion?

Have you looked at page one? Yulilin uselessly has that information posted there.

I did, and she's got the excellent advice about leaving early to get the spot. It may not have been her, but I spent a good 20 minutes looking for it, and now I'm wondering if I just dreamed it...

PS, I'm hoping "uselessly" was a funky autocorrect from "usually"?

lol yes,

Wish I could help with the time to line up, the Storm Troopers were late when I did the dessert party and I kind of got lost in the desserts. I would think about 20 minutes before fireworks time.
