Star Wars/ Hollywood Studios planning is stressing me out

[Kevin1986]

My HS day is July 26th... My plans for the other parks are solid. However... Hollywood studios planning is stressing me out. There are a lot of "ifs"

1. What time are the Star Wars fireworks?
2. Are they going to add a second Fantasmic?
3. Are they going to offer a dessert party?
4. Is there going to be a 7:30 Frozen show?
5. What happened to Voyage of Little Mermaid?

I'll be a Disney World for 3 days... And then flying from Orlando to Disneyland for 6 days. I planned out all my Disneyland days and all that is left to work out Hollywood Studios. But with little information, no calendar updates everything is up in the air. STRESSED!!!!!!

I have been at Hollywood this past Friday and Sunday.

1. The Star Wars Fireworks are always at 945 as of right now. I suggest getting their an hour early for a prime location
2. There is a 2nd Fantasmic when Hollywood has evening extra magic hours.
3. Yes, there currently is a dessert party for the Star Wars fireworks.
4. No, there is not a 7:30 Frozen show.
5. The Little Mermaid show is still there and you don't need a FP to watch it.

I can't definitively answer your questions. I have a trip upcoming and plan to be at DHS on 7/22.

1) Right now they are starting at 9:45pm. However, starting 7/3, the dessert party moves from 8:45 to 8:15pm. This could mean that the fireworks will start at 9:15pm or that they are adding more time to the dessert party. I would plan for the fireworks to start sometime between 9:15 and 9:45pm

2) Anyone's guess on this

3) I believe they will offer the dessert party, but they have been releasing dates very late. They just released up to 7/9 on Friday, I think.

4) Park hours have not been updated/extended yet for your date. It's a pretty safe bet that the park will close then at the time it is closing now, which is 10pm. They currently are doing a 7:30pm Frozen, so I would bet money they will do one on 7/26.

5) Voyage of the Little Mermaid has refurb 7/24-27.

Thanks so much!!! I'll take a deep breath and stay calm now.

Another question- would it be possible to do the dessert party solo? My friend dropped out of the trip because of unexpected issues so I am going to Disney World and Land solo. I've been to the frozen dessert party with friends. Would a dessert party work solo?

You can definitely do it solo. Many people do. You might be able to join someone or make some new Star Wars friends

They added a 7:30 Frozen and I was able to switch my fastpass. Guess they are updating slowly.

Based on what they released for July 3-9, the fireworks will be at 9:15 (conflicting with Fantasmic). I still do not understand how they will have a fireworks show (with the attendant noise) during the middle of Fantasmic. But, you should probably not count on doing both fireworks and Fantasmic.

4) Park hours have not been updated/extended yet for your date. It's a pretty safe bet that the park will close then at the time it is closing now, which is 10pm. They currently are doing a 7:30pm Frozen, so I would bet money they will do one on 7/26.

Again, based on the July 3-9 dates, it looks like the park may close at 9:30, not 10:00.
