Star Wars Fireworks???

[ElaineB55]

I wasn't aware there is such a thing. We are going from June 4-11 and no fireworks are showing at Hollywood Studios, just Fantasmic which we were planning on missing due to our schedule. Are the fireworks that good and what time is the show? We might have to do some re-arranging to squeeze this in. It is not showing on the official WDW calendar yet. Thanks.

The Star Wars fireworks are some of the best in all of Disney. They've been around since last year. The current show will be ending and a new Star Wars fireworks will be starting May 27th. Anticipate the fireworks to be around 9pm.

A lot of people watch Fantasmic, then head over to the fireworks

Thank you. Now, what to skip...... Unfortunately we are squeezing 2 days of Universal in during our stay, so we are going to have to do some switching around to get this in. I LOVE fireworks! Funny, because as I kid, I was the one crying with her hands on her ears. Go figure!

We were able to see them in Jan. We squeezed in Osbourne lights, Fantasmic!, & the SW Fireworks in one night! You will really enjoy these I think. They did a good job setting them to music. My boys say they are their favourite.

Are the fireworks here to stay? We will be going in November and am hoping we we'll get to see them!

Will the current Star Wars Fireworks run until the new one starts. If not, any idea on the closing date of the current show?

Most likely.

Current shows scheduled to the end of this month. Unclear if it will continue until the new one debuts.

We loved the Star Wars fireworks last week - our absolute favorite fireworks show ever! They are simply beautiful and with the music/narration - amazing. I honestly can't believe they would stop them anytime soon - especially after making a new launch area and show. We are keeping fingers crossed for late September showing. Part of the preference over Wishes is that we weren't packed in like sardines to watch at HS. Seeing the thousands of twinkling stars! Ok. I will stop now. I could go on and on...

The new launch area is for an upgraded show.

Yea that is why I hope they continue it for a long time. It is amazing now - an upgraded one should hopefully be even better. (I hope).

The new launch area is for an upgraded show.

It will also allow them to keep the attractions in DHS open up to the start-time (and during) the fireworks shows
and not have to worry about fireworks fallout.

It will also allow construction to happen for the new DHS attractions/lands and not have to worry about the fireworks launching stations.

I have been waiting to hear when the new fireworks are to start. Is May 27 confirmed?

No it's not confirmed, just a strong rumor

I will be with friends at Disney beginning On May 2. I hope my friends get to see them. DH and I were there in March, and thought the fireworks were fabulous!

I hope it is true.

So you can watch Fantasmic, then still see SW fireworks? Are there issues with the crowd/getting a good spot? I'm traveling with six kids under 9 years old--logistics is a big concern--but we don't have two nights to dedicate to HS. This group would LOVE Star Wars fireworks, though.

Yes.
