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

[FastPasser.]

they only do the SWGS on certain days?

It's every night.

when SWGS is occurring, do they still do Fantasmic! at the same time?

It depends on the time of year, sometimes you can see both easily and sometimes it's not practical.

Look for the tape on the ground marking off walkways and stand just behind it. You will have people walking in front of you during the show, but no one will be allowed to stand there. There’s one where Sunset meets Hollywood.

That intersection is well behind the projection towers so you'll miss some of the show. Try to stay in front of, or between the towers.

You guys see this event for DL? Sounds a lot like SW Weekends of old. I might try to go.

Am I the only person worried they'll change SWGS when TS Land opens? We missed it on our last trip because they replaced SWGS with JBJB, so really hoping for Star Wars fireworks during this trip!

Booked the Star Wars dessert party for June 26. Was going to originally do it in July but considering the crowds we might want to get outta dodge earlier in the day after Toy Story land opens. We are particularly excited because we did the party for my daughter’s birthday and the show was cancelled. She was crushed. Since it was our last night of the trip we couldn’t see it again and this is our first trip back since then (a very long time for us). We enjoyed the party then so hopefully we can enjoy the fireworks this time. (And I’m sure we will enjoy the party again too)

Do you have a reason for thinking that SWaGS will be discontinued?

It sounds a lot like galactic nights here, if you do go make sure to report back

Paranoia? lol

Yes, I've had the same thought. I thought about booking the dessert party for our trip in September, but decided against it. I'm not sure what kind of changes they're going to make - it seems like they're going to have to change some things. So I think we'll just be ready to roll with it.

 

[FastPasser.]

As good a reason as any.

it seems like they're going to have to change some things.

The opening of TSL is over three months away, so it's too soon to know, but at this time I haven't heard anything definitive regarding changes to SWaGS.

I seriously doubt they will take away swags with the opening of tsland, they need to keep the sw hype up until Galaxy's edge opens, I can see them changing the show after Galaxy's edge opens though

yulilin3, I can't help it, this made me giggle. I really believe they could stop talking about Galaxy's Edge altogether, right now, and they'd still have 100K+ fans storming the gates on opening day.

Yes, I'll be one of them.

And you wouldn't be wrong. Maybe not to keep enthusiasm for Solo and episode IX

THAT makes sense. Especially given all the worrisome buzz around Solo.

Here's a question: do you think they'll do a "Young" Solo M&G? The idea makes me super uncomfortable, given my deep and undying love for Harrison Ford Solo, at ALL ages, but Disney is Disney and will market as they see fit. Thoughts?

 

[MrBigBen]

Booked for Nov 9-16 and while I expect I’ll get JBJB they extended the hours in mid Dec ‘17 and included both shows. What’s your feeling for ‘18, could it be 2 shows throughout?

Could it be it was brought back around VIII release, or park busier at that time of year, or a correction bc ppl loved the show?

They could bring Solo for the Galaxy far far away show like they do with Rey. Not sure about a meet and greet

This sounds fun! The new additions are great. We were just there last week, and my little guy wanted to see FO troopers so badly, but we weren't able to catch them. I was also bummed to miss Hyperspace Mountain.

Hello all. I am back! This disboard was so incredibly helpful for our 2015 trip for the final Star Wars Weekend! I will try to catch up on posts from the beginning so I don't ask questions that have been answered a million times already. We are heading back to WDW for Thanksgiving season 2018. Just got our Mickey's Xmas Party Tix booked for Nov. 25. First time for holiday season visit. I know you guys will help me bunches! We are planning 2 days at HS during our trip. Our 8year-olds dream is for the Fantasmic Mickey cast member to suddenly be sick so that they can ask him to fill in! Needless to say, Fantasmic is a must for HS day 1. Between our 2 HS days, we need to hit Fantasmic, SW fireworks, and Jingle Bam, hopefully including a Star Wars dessert party. Please help with suggestions on how feasible this is. The summer had fantasmic with multiple showings on some nights, but the winter not so much. Thanks!

Hi all y'all!
We just got back and did the SW Dessert party and it was THE BEST DESSERT PARTY WE'VE EVER BEEN TO!
It was Sooooo worth it. Lots of savories and sweets (we could have skipped dinner), Plenty of fruit, choices of alcoholic beverages... Catering crew were remarkable.
AND you got a M&G with Chewy.
Added in, the best seats available for the show. We didn't have to stand, we sat and were able to see everything.
Don't hesitate, do it, it's worth it!

Relegated to chopped liver........again. What about the crew that checked you in, gave you your Phasma stein and escorted you to the viewing area? Just kidding, the catering crew is always excellent.................... but we're kinda ok too. What night were you there?

 

[kpd6901]

Just a follow-up. We did do the dessert party in 2015 and would highly recommend it. Is it much different since there is not SWW anymore? I would suppose not, but not sure. Better? Or same? We would still do it again for sure, if the schedule can hit all the evening activities as mentioned earlier. Thanks again!
