Okay, the cutoff age: it's 12, as in, my son is 12 and would happily sell a body part to fight Kylo Ren and is still eligible to do so?

 

[JennLTX]

Of course, no one is safe.

There may be one and I missed it, but I haven't seen a thread on this years JBJB dessert party, maybe you should start one? I'm sure other people have questions as well. I'll be glad to participate.

I'll take a look around and if there still isn't, I'll start it!

Is anyone coming to the dessert party tonight?

I'm kinda sad they've removed the Seventh Sister but I'm not surprised. The amount of people asking which line is for Vader on various message boards and making sure their kids were in the Darth Vader line at check-in and not "the other one" meant it was only a matter of time before they swapped her out.

As a character, I quite like her, but I guess unless you watch Star Wars Rebels you wouldn't have a clue who she is or her relevance with the Jedi and Jedi Temples. I'm just sad they removed a female character as I thought it was nice to have some extra female representation in the show but I can see boys moaning about having to "fight a girl" instead of someone like Vader or Kylo.

Oh no, missed you by two days.

Oh no, missed you by two days.

Bummer!!

Yes he still can

DD7 is going to be so excited. She loves Kylo and keeps asking why she can never fight him.

 

[JennLTX]

Yes he still can

I see the future... it's June 2018... I'm standing in line at HS an hour before ropedrop...

Right there with ya... it's such a cool experience, such a downer to try to make it happen!

each time the conversation turns to how you have to be at DHS at rope drop to guarantee a spot on JT it reminds me of "the good old days" when there was no pre-signing, you had to go to the show and hope and pray that the Jedi Master would pick your overly excited kid jumping up and down saying "me,me,me" Most families had to go to several shows for the Master to pick their kid, some actually would go to several shows and never be picked...

Did the party last Sunday. It was fun and desserts were really good! We didn't drink as much of the cocktails because it had been so hot and we were so exhausted! My feet were hurting horribly (wore really bad shoes that morning at Disney Springs) and our table was against the wall so I ended up occasionally sitting on the floor out of the way.

Got to the Launch Bay about 6:45 and checked in at the front, getting our lanyards. Then went right to BB-8 who had a 40 min wait posted. But I asked the CM sweeping up in the area and she assured me it was more like 5-10 minutes and they just hadn't updated times! Had a cute meet with him but he did freak out when I said I was leaving to eat a cupcake with his face on it!

When we got out the party had just started (about 7), so we grabbed a table and some desserts and started in on it. My sister loved the Freeze dried Nutella. I liked the mini financiers the best.

We ended up seeing Chewbacca had only a few people in line so did that around 7:45. Not that impressed as the character just sort of stood there for 2 photos and then we were ushered out-no hugs or good interactions! Got some more desserts then realized Kylo Rens line was absolutely empty so went up and CM had to knock on the door to announce our presence. We thought the character may have been resting or something because they had to hold us a moment at the entrance to the bridge before we could see Kylo. That was a better meet though.

Everyone from dessert party was ready and waiting to be escorted out and it was after 8:20 when fireworks started at 8:30. Seems like the storm troopers forgot what time the fireworks were on and were late, but we all got to the viewing area on time!

Despite ride times being on the longer side that day, the fireworks weren't that crowded. People could definitely had walked up about 10 min before and gotten a good view!

Liked the show and the fire effects. But I definitely agree with the criticism there needs to be more fireworks in conjunction with the projections.

Nooooooooooooo....... That must have been a NIGHTMARE!!! Talk about embracing the Dark Side!!!

What are the line ups for the characters like during the dessert party? How long of a wait does Chewbacca and Kylo Ren usually have at that time?

When we were there 2 weeks ago the waits were short. 10 minutes on average.

We went to this party 2 weeks ago and loved it! This was the best dessert party out of the 2 we went to. It was nice to be surrounded by Star Wars. We loved the desserts and the adult beverages! It was a highlight on our trip next to Early Morning Magic. Plus surviving the whole Irma thing.

Several shows in the blazing sun...yep. Sounds about right.

Wondering if there has been any more specific info released about the "immersive" Star Wars experience opening in Disney springs later this year? Our trip is 11/7-11/13, wondering if it might be open by then and what it will be like.

I agree, but my 6 year old son was very excited when he got to fight 7th Sister (he has faced Vader at least 2 times prior) so there is still hope some boys will fight a girl . I would like to think Star Wars would be gender proof. My kids had to educate me on who the 7th Sister was since Ive watched the movies countless times, but had not watched Rebels before. Sad to see they got rid of her too. Mine will be over the moon to be able to fight Kylo Ren now though too.

My oldest got picked a week shy of being 4 years old this way at Disneyland. He was so excited and energetic (after I explained to him if he wanted a chance to go up there he was going to have to be). He was obviously the youngest and shortest up there, but was such a great experience (sans my kid accepting Vader's hand holding request to join him to the dark side, luckily it was broken up by the Jedi). If your kid gets picked then that format is easier than having to be at the parks early, but if you didn't get picked then I can see why people would want sign ups like it is now. Either way, fun experiences.

Hi all,

My first full day for my Dec trip will be on the 16th, which will now be SW Galactic nights - a closed party from 7pm - 12am in HS.

For anyone who has done this event in the past, is it worth the $130 per person price tag?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
