Where is the parking that would make for easiest exit?
Nope, they have to be parked. It's a limited amount of space.

the old viewing area was much better. The show is to wide for the current area to be able to appreciate the show. But considering you don't have to hold a decent spot at all, it's not horribleI've done the party 3 times. The last time was last year in the spring. It was a crowded party - tables were tight and it had very, very long lines for the drinks.There was a full VIP tour group there and the party was sold out.
The desserts were good but I really enjoyed the savory items more.
I did enjoy the storm troopers - I got in trouble with them when I walked up the handicap ramp to take a picture. (there was no one using it at the time). They escorted me down and told me they were keeping an eye on me.
I also loved doing the character meet and greets in the area with virtual no lines - everyone was staying in the dessert party area so the line was extra short.
I must be the only person who doesn't like the area for watching the show. Everyone was sitting on the ground and I can't sit on the ground easily. I did manage to get down so I wouldn't block the people behind me but was in horrible pain from sitting on the ground . And then I could barely get up - a nice gentleman next to me helped me up.
The other 2 times I did this party the viewing area was further back and everyone was standing so it caught me by surprise when the viewing area was moved closer. I prefer the view further back too.
If I ever do this dessert party again, I will need to bring a stadium cushion in with me so I can at least be comfortable once I get on the ground.
Overall it's a nice dessert party but it's not my favorite.
parking is right outside of Launch BayWhere is the parking that would make for easiest exit?
The CMs at the entrance to the viewing area will direct you.Where is the parking that would make for easiest exit?
You can sit or stand, just be careful that you don't block anyone's view.We were excited about doing the Star Wars Dessert party until I heard in a podcast that, during the fireworks show, you have to sit on the pavement in the viewing area.

Not sure my husband, who has ankle problems, will want to sit on the pavement since he'll have trouble getting back up. Is there an area in the viewing area where you can stand?

If that happens talk to a Leader. That viewing area was originally intended to be a standing viewing area but when the party was removed as part of the SW tour and was also not selling well, there was enough room for everyone to sit. However on certain nights there isn't. The viewing area is not only for party Guests, it includes those people that took the SW tour and decide to to watch SWaGS. It also may include VIPs. The total number of people varies from night to night and that number dictates whether or not there is enough room for everyone to sit. If not, Guests are asked to stand.I was told I had to sit down. Even after I told the Cast Member that I would have a problem sitting on the ground and getting back up again thanks to my knee.
It's not training, it's bad leadership.I wish every cast member would be trained to be consistent so we would all know what to expect.
If you stand in the back or sides you won't be blocking the view of any dessert party Guest. Any non-party Guest standing close enough to the rear of the viewing where their view is blocked will have to find a different spot. Party Guests are paying big bucks for the party and viewing.You could try seeing if you can stand up at the back there instead but you’ll still be blocking the view of people sitting/standing behind the viewing area.

UnderstandableI understand that But when we did the party a couple of weeks ago, there were small children sitting on the other side of the ledge that had clearly been waiting there a long time throughout the bad weather and it didn’t feel right to block their view either.
We are doing this in NYE this year. Were you able to sit down during the show? I've read that at some parties, people sat. Other times, they stood. I'm just concerned that my kids would be able to see.We did this on NYE and it was excellent for the view of the firework show - especially on NYE! None of my family found the desserts all that great though. We would not do this again - it was a one time thing mainly due to the NYE crowds.
No, you dont sit during the show. However, the area reserved for party guests was large and so there was space to spread out - making it easier to see. Our kids had no trouble seeing as the show is elevated. my experience was 2 years ago so things may have changed. Have fun!We are doing this in NYE this year.

That's correct, sometimes there is room where Guests are able to sit and sometimes they have to stand, it depends on how many Guests are in the viewing area on any given night. The size of the party and number of VIP Guests does fluctuate. While seating is not provided and space allowing, Guests may sit on the pavement or small raised wall at the rear of the area. For those who prefer to stand, they should do so at rear of the area so that the view of those sitting is not blocked.Were you able to sit down during the show?

Just as an fyi the jawas are not there anymoreWe have done this dessert party. My boy’s are huge Star Wars fans. We enjoyed the food and drinks. The storm troopers walking around were neat. The highlight was my boys trading with the Jawas.
