**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[grumpy28]

Are strollers allowed in the dessert party(inside)? How about in the outside reserved viewing area?

I would check in at about 7:45. That's the earliest you'll be allowed in. Any earlier and you'll just be waiting around.

The party is held inside the SW Launch Bay. The check-in podium is about 25 feet in front of the entrance to the SW Launch Bay.

Thank you so much, juggling the family, rain, fastpasses, park bag, etc. It was going to be a challenge to read thru the thread to find the info, much appreciated.

Does it make any difference if our 6year old uses a stroller as a wwheelchair-like adaptive restraint device, since his special needs include extreme impulsivity and elopement (hence the need to look into DAS for him in ride queues)?

Thank you for the reply. Where would be the best place to park the stroller for a quick escape after the fireworks? If stroller parking is all the way at launch bay/disney jr courtyard, it seems like we would get mobbed trying to go from firweworks viewing back there to grab the stroller. Or am I imagining it all wrong?

Is the no strollers in the viewing area new with the new location? We had a double stroller in the old outside viewing area.

@FastPasser. It just dawned on me that perhaps my tone may accidentally come across a little terse or negative. That was not my intent, and if taken so, I apologize. My point and question is wondering if there are any considerations for assistive devices that would be necessary for us to enjoy a dessert party, whether SWAGS, JBJB, or Frozen. Is there a tag from Disability Services available to use stroller as wheelchair in ride queues (I thought I read that somewhere), and if so, does that allow for usage during a dessert party. Like a prior poster mentioned, strollers were allowed for the old outside location (at least in 2015 - with our other children - but now, our youngest requires it as adaptive). Thanks for all your help and information!

I'm off tonight, but you guys are making me work. It's fine, the DIS is paying me big bucks.

I would consider getting the red tag just to remove all doubt. But if you don't have one and it's obvious that you're using the stroller as a wheelchair, you'll be fine. Common sense should prevail.

You'll park the stroller at the Animation Courtyard stroller parking area before entering the Launch Bay. When the escort to the viewing area begins, I've seen some Guests get the stroller and bring it inside for the escort or when you exit the LB, get out of line and grab the stroller. By that time, there are very few strollers in the parking area and it's not a problem grabbing it and catching up with the group. You'll probably be at the tail end of the group, but it works out ok. The other option is leave for the viewing area on your own when you see Guests gathering to leave. Just make sure you go to Celebration Gallery where the Captain Phasma steins will be handed out and pick up your steins. It's done all the time, just explain what you're doing to the CMs.

Is the no strollers in the viewing area new with the new location? We had a double stroller in the old outside viewing area.

Yes, it's a smaller area, but it also depends on the CMs at the entrance. Although I've witnessed some strollers getting through, the policy is supposed to be, no strollers in the viewing area.

No apology needed, I took it as you meant it. I've been dealing with similar situations for a couple of decades and I fully understand. As I suggested in my earlier response, I would get a red tag for the stroller, it just makes things easier and speeds things up for you.

Just imagine how rich you will be after you retire and can spend ALL your time here!

As I will no longer have the insider's perspective and access, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to contribute.

Where are all of you looking online for the tickets? I go to the special event tickets section and it says Galactic Nights "not currently available". No party dates at all.
I am going to WDW in September and was hoping to book.

The next galactic nights has not been announced yet, unsure if they will do another one in December

Do you mean for the dessert party? That’s not the same as galactic nights. You book the dessert party as a dining reservation at DHS.

That link takes me to a viglink shopping page on my cell phone. Not sure why since it looks like a Disney address. Didn’t try it from the computer.

Must be a weird glitch with my phone! I see the same thing, and that address sure looks correct. I’ll check on my computer tomorrow, but I’ll bet it works there. Makes no sense to me ! Of course, I know where to go to book it, so the important thing is that it works for the poster who asked!

This is what I get

I am on my laptop (MacBook) and it sends me to the viglink shopping page too.

I often use incognito window when I have issues with Disney website.

Has the Star Wars dessert party & fireworks viewing changed at all since last August? Same location, same food & drinks, same spot to watch fireworks and the same Chewie mug?
