I built the hype up in my own mind and was totally disappointed. Fortunately only grown "kids" this trip.

it is a lot easier to tell a grown kid to suck up and deal and get over it than an 8 year old though lol. I try to be a bit more gentle with him about stuff ;)

Okay. I've been discussing with our group and they would prefer to stay another night and do this instead of the dessert party. Do you think that they will start offering this to purchase before our dates for the dessert party are offered (12/13 or 12/14)? I would hate to not book the dessert party and then this new event sell out before we get tickets only to find that the dessert party sold out too....urgh more strategy planning. :)

We arrive 12/17 and def want to do either the hard ticket event or at least the dessert party. Trouble is that nothing is announced about fireworks at all yet. I wonder if they would do regular fireworks schedule (assuming they have it) at 8 or so since its a Saturday and then again later during the event?

No clue on when they will announce either thing
Last year they announced the special force awakens event before the movie tickets went on sale. I'm thinking that if this will be tied in with the movie they will do the same
I doubt they will do SWaGS the same day, twice.
With that being said for people going to DHS on the 17th, don't expect SWaGS to be performed, this is me just speculating

That would be great. A quick internet search said that last years tickets went on sale Oct 19th. So maybe this will be available before they announce our dessert party dates.
I can assume that it will be Nov before my dessert party dates are open, right? 12/13 or 12/14. Sorry to keep bothering you. Glad to be plotting a plan of action again though. LOL
 
So, if the movie is already out-what will this event entail? Trying to decide if I should try to move our flights up...

Correct. The movie tickets should go on sale soon , if they do what they did with force awakens. If not, movie tickets should go on sale around November 16th.

I'm not sure, it's called Star Wars Galactic Night. So they could do characters meets, dance party, rock and roller coaster with Star wars music, Galactic Spectacular. ..
 
What is regular movie prices?..if all else fails we may just have to keep the dessert party and go to the movie only.

Dessert party is refundable, so no harm booking that when it comes out, if it's prior to any info on the special event. Can't recall if last year's event had a cancellation policy? I don't *think* so??
 
Our review of the dessert party on 9/15. It was fun and we truly enjoyed it. We ate and drank the entire time. However, we felt it was too short and a lot of money for what it entailed. We didn't have time to wander around the launch bay and meet chewie or kylo ren. Plus it's too hard to walk around carrying food/drinks and the kids' food/drinks. We thought all the food was quite good and really enjoyed a couple of desserts immensely (nutella, blue stuff, bread pudding). There was long lines for the alcoholic drinks. It was a lot of standing. We tried to sit as much as we could but were tired from the day. Chairs would have made it way better. Stormtroopers walked through the crowd and interacted with people and took photos. We enjoyed them but you can see them throughout the day so this was nothing really new. Would we do it again? Nope. The roped off area was quite crowded. They did let kids under 8 yo come forward to watch the fireworks from the disability section. It was a good thing because there was no way my 5yo would have been able to see -not sure my 10yo would have been able to see. We really enjoyed the party and the fireworks show as we love Star Wars! But this was a lot of money and we felt it wasn't a great value for us.

thanks for the review. Glad that despite feeling rushed you enjoyed what they had to offer
 
Heading out to DHS/ I will ask about the Jawa situation. Also just checked on the Hub for SW Galactic Nights and they have taken the page that onlt mentioned the name, date and times, down. I Don't think it means that they are not doing it just that they didn't want it to be out in the first place
Anything else you guys want me to check at DHS let me know, I'll check the Dis periodically while I'm there
 
Live report:
Jawas: they are out and trading. CM said they might traded when you're here, they might not. Again don't build the experience up, just be prepared
Coin machine at the star wars store (Legends of Hollywood) on sunset blvd. I'll post the pic later
Stat Tours: talked to coordinator (white shirt) and he said st should go back to random in November, at least that's what he was told. No new scene from Rogue One is expected
