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

eeyoreandtink said:
Haven been on in a while, but now planning a Feb trip. A couple of questions:

1. We didn't the dessert party when it first started, once outside and once in the disney junior area. It that still the "bad weather" backup location?

2. Has the menu changed at all?

3. What is the track record on fireworks cancellation? We did 2 parties because the fireworks were canceled first day and we were given tickets to a party later in the week as compensation.

1. The dessert party is now dime inside launch bay
2. Not really, the took away the bus uits and added hummus and flat bread
3.the show is cancelled if the lightning in the area

If the schedule is consistent into December then this should work out perfectly for me.

I just need to ask: How much time do you think is there between the start of the party and when the fireworks show actually starts? That could make or break if we do decide to do this.

The dessert party starts 75 minutes before the show
 
Any recent news on Jawa trading?

I warned a few friends going down that the Jawa trading was becoming spotty, and not to expect it. If they wanted they could bring a shiny/glowy thing to trade, but there's no guarantee and Jawa don't like a queue. (After all they're scavengers, they don't have time for such things. Utinni! :crazy:)
 


Sorry if this is has already been asked & answered, but Does anyone know if Nov. 4th or 5th is going to be the last day to watch these fireworks, or do you think they'll be extended.? *(If not already)

TIA Dizdad

They have been updating the calendar slowly. If you look at page one you can see the dates when they have updated the calendar
They should update the calendar soon

Thank you!
 


I was really hoping by now there would be some sort of dining experience (other than dessert party) tied to the Galactic Spectacular.

I'm surprised if no one is over seeing this, since it's alcoholic beverages

This is the first I've read of this...is this a new thing?

They explained what the drinks were and that they had alcohol. I am guessing they only gave them if you definitely look old enough (sadly I do). They also had a tray of non alcoholic drinks too. My daughter helped herself to that. I bet it kept the lines at the bar down. I didn't have to even go to the bar since I liked whatever drink I had and revisited the man with it a few times.

I don't think we will see any type of dinning experience until SWLand is opened. Unless they bring the galactic breakfast back to Sci Fi

When we were there last week, there were 3 Jawas out - DD found one, says "Utini" to him, and he danced around each time she said it. I figured that meant they weren't trading. But then I saw their handler and I asked her - she said that ONE of the three was trading, and led us over to that one. SO... just because one isn't trading, that doesn't mean that there is NO trading happening. I'd be prepared and then verify if at first you don't have success.
 
So the only day we can see this is Nov 2nd. We are staying at AKL and eating at Boma at 4:45, do you think it'd be worth it doing the Dessert party? I don't even know if we'll be able to make it over in time to enjoy it is why I ask. We're seeing the fireworks no matter what though since they're at 8PM which gives us time to eat and go to the Studios.

Oh, I wish they would! It was easily our top character dining experience ever (tied with one particularly great experience at 1900PF, anyway). DH has never been so happy to spend $50 on a waffle. :rotfl:

you will probably be full for the party but that's completely up to you and your family. A lot of people do the dessert party mainly for the guaranteed spot, with the food and drinks as an added bonus/ If you don't do the party and you want the same view you would need to get a spot an hour early

Ya I figured we'd probably we full which made me think it wouldn't be worth it for us. The spot would be nice also, but I figure we'll arrive between 7-7:15 so we should get a decent spot for the fireworks. Thanks for the information :)
 
Given the prior schedule announcements, I was really hoping for the November update this weekend. Honestly, I'm really surprised at how badly they are handling the scheduling of this event.

I echo everyone else's sentiments that Disney wants you to plan out your restaurants half a year in advance and then your rides 60 days in advance, but they can't get their act together at nearly 30days out from our trip. Knowing that this party is a key event, our fastpass and dining reservations would be secondary to it, but how can you plan for something you don't even know will happen?

I was pleased to see that in october they went m, w, f, s only because i had planned our HS day for a wednesday.

So on I plow, refreshing the galactic party page every so often, like a hungry rat in a test cage.

Could you imagine if they turned all those "cars" at Sci-Fi into "speeders" from the Star Wars universe? :worship:
