Star Wars dessert party vs wonderful animation show

[marmar]

I’ve been waiting patiently for April & May to open on mde for Star Wars dessert party. March just appeared last week.
Now I see a new show is planned to open in May on the theatre. Wonderful World of Animation. I will be crushed if this means no Show on Star Wars day, May 4.

What should I be looking for to see if there is a new party welcoming the new show? I would have expected them to wait until the new ride is closer to opening

The anamation show is replacing a movie magic show (or something like that). It is a projection show in a different spot than Star Wars show and held at a different time. They do both shows nightly. The projection show is in my opinion a minor show - Star Wars is much bigger with added elements. At this minute I can’t remember where they did the projection show - I want to say on a building in the walkway to toy story land area.

I believe the Movie Magic show was shown right before the Star Wars show, also on the Chinese Theater, when we went last year. It was maybe at 7:30, and then Star Wars at 8, so if you had gotten a spot early, you saw both. We did this, and there was a break in between, where we moved up as people left who weren't staying for SW left. So it would not be a problem, and I know others who went to the SW Dessert Party mentioned on here seeing it from their reserved section. It was a more minor show so if this is replacing it, there would not be a party for it.

Yes, this. If it's replacing Movie Magic then there may be a chance you will see both as a Star Wars dessert party attendee. When we did the Star Wars dessert party in December, they brought us out to the viewing area prior to Movie Magic which meant we had fantastic views of both Movie Magic and the Star Wars fireworks. If they introduce a new party, just keep an eye on these boards as I'm sure someone will post or the DIS will announce the new party. I would assume they would just do the Star Wars party, but, who knows?!
