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

[Surgie2]

Are Star Wars Fireworks typically shown every night? I don't see anything scheduled after February and wondering if they will still be shown in May.

1) correct no chairs only high/bar type tables
2) All characters inside Launch Bay meet until park closing, in the evening the line is usually shorter but if Kylo is a priority I would attempt to meet him earlier just to be sure you are not taking too much time from your party
3) No, the Jawas are gone from DHS all together, only place to see them might be during Galactic Nights
4) The reserved viewing area is Center Stage, if you are familiar with DHS this was the location where the pin store was, under the hat. It is elevated and there are no chairs. I would actually head toward the back of the viewing area, the show is very wide and the closer to the Chinese Theater you are the more details you will miss, also most fireworks shoot from the right side of the Chinese Theater, so head toward the back and the left

Thanks for the detailed info. When you say head back and to the left, do you mean left as you look toward the Theater? And, if we don't care so much for the desserts is it a problem to arrive on the later side or will the good standing areas be taken? Our reservations says 6:45.

According to wdwnt - Star Tours will be locked down to showing only sequences from The Force Awakens and the Last Jedi for the foreseeable future.

Then, sometime to be determined, the ride will be split in half with one side showing episodes 1-6 and the other half showing JJ Wars.

What braniac thought this up?

The lock down was expected I suppose, since they did it with the last episode. I am not a fan anyway

That actually makes me really happy. I haven't been to HS since TFA came out, but I have ridden Star Tours at Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland this year and both times it was the pod racing scene. I would love to see the new stuff when I am at HS in December and January.

If the lock down had been the same as last time it wouldn't be a big deal. But to shut down all the scenes in favor of just JJ Wars is kinda meh. I'm more surprised at the later changes where they split the ride into two groups.

Yes, facing the theater head back and to the left
The dessert party and the viewing area are in separate locations. So you eat inside launch bat then move to the viewing area

This is interesting, I wonder what most people will pick
I never had a problem with storyline loopholes so I didn't mind the mixing of sequences, but I know some people had issues with it

Oh, ok. The 6:45 through me off.

If your concern is getting a viewing spot to your liking, arriving at the party late will make no difference because the party guests leave for the viewing area as group. However, you can leave the party area early and go to the viewing area on your own. You don't have to wait for the Stormtrooper escort.

Sounds like we should arrive on time for the full effect. I thought maybe it would be like the HEA dessert party at MK where it sounds like we can arrive a little later and not miss anything except maybe the best dessert selection.

Any suggestions on where to go for the best view for JBJB? Still back left? Thanks.

Wondering if anyone here can point me to a JBJB Dessert Party description/thread. Booked it for early Dec and would love to know what to expect re: where we eat, seating, viewing area, etc.

Thanks -- that's my thread! I posted here because because no one was answering there, but now I have one review from this year! Yay!

In Jan the SW novelty given to guests who attend the party will change again to something really cool. And no, I'm not going to spoil the surprise.

Do you know if that change will be effective Jan 1st, or sometime later in the month?

I discovered it after that review. I'll be checking that thread from time to time.

There's no firm date yet. It'll depend on how long the BB8 Sipper supply lasts and when the new items are received.

Any ideas if the dessert party will continue into Feb? We are going early in Feb and I have been stalking the WDW dining website trying to get a dessert party reservation but it still shows only through Jan 31st.
