Just curious, do they ever delay the show? And if they do, do they allow you to stay at the 'party' part longer?

The show does get delayed because of weather. I'm not sure if they leave the dessert setup after the hour is done. Maybe someone who has done the party with a delay can answer

do you get plastic tickets like you get for the MVMCP? or are they linked to your magic band?

For the dessert party? No, it works like a dining reservation. But recently they started handing out lanyards.

I have a question and I know since the dates and times are not out yet that this is speculation.... Assuming they keep the same schedule for December, we will be going to the SW dessert party on Wed. Dec. 21. Would the start time likely be 6:45pm? I have an O'hana ADR at 3:50pm. It has been 5 years since I have been to O'hana but wanted our group 13 to experience it. Is this plenty of time to have a relaxed dinner and make it back in time for the 6:45pm dessert party? I assume 3 hours is just right but I remember O'Hana taking forever to be seated but I was not sure since it was an early ADR if we would have that problem. Is it likely they will have the dessert party every night the week before Christmas or still the 4 times a week? I realize no one really knows just looking for guesses right now. The times "should" come out the first week of November right?

Everyone look into your crystal ball for a second! Concerning the upcoming Xmas holidays...

ASSUMING they continue the fireworks show through the holidays
and ASSUMING they continue the current nightly schedule (4 nights a week)
and ASSUMING they have similar park hours to the weeks around Christmas as last year...

Do we think the fireworks would move back to around 11pm like last year? Or would they try keep them earlier for some reason?

We're planning a 12/17-12/23 trip and it's been tough to even choose which day where. We had to pull the trigger on dining a while back of course but I have enough flexibility to get us to HS on a firework evening if it seems like they'll probably be late-ish.

And with the high crowds at that time of year, we would probably opt for the dessert party if it were still an offering. It might be worth it just for the designated viewing area alone if crowds are a 10+.

Prediction?

thanks...

but...I'll play along
I expect SWaGS to start being performed nightly starting the week of Dec. 18th.
I also expect hours to extend to at least 9pm. Since Fantasmic is already scheduled I expect SWaFS to be at 8:30pm or 9pm
Once the hours extend to 11pm (probably Dec. 23) we will see the addition of the second F! and then who knows at what time they will have SWaGS, probably 10pm

A lot of maybes and ifs

Ha ha...I definitely acknowledge the "futility probability" of out-guessing Disney. Everything you said makes total sense. I know that attendance year over year is down in 2016 but I assume the holidays will still be wall to wall. My hopes are based on last year's hours and times as found on TP.com

HS moved to 11pm close on Friday 12/18 with F! at 7 and 9 with fireworks at 11pm.

I guess we all just do the best we can until all is revealed in due time...

I need the 9th so even if it's just a week more I'm good with that.

Still impatiently waiting here as well, that's the week I'm looking for.

And, I received an email announcing the new Disney Visa card design:

Just order it and you can switch off when having a Dark Side day.

Might do that. I mean, my kids didn't use to call me Darth Mom for nothing so I need to keep Vader around

CAN you switch, as long as the card numbers all stay the same? I've always wondered, since I got the Mickey and then immediately ordered the Vader as soon as it was available.

In the past we were able to switch. Chase sent the wrong design at first and they didn't void out the card when we requested a replacement.

Only 2 Rewards Redemption cards can be attached to one Visa account but I don't know if they limit the actual number of credit cards attached to the account.

Well, there went $200 down the drain. Tonight was our night. Fireworks cancelled due to weather. So disappointed. As fas as the dessert part, in our opinion the fried Nutella was terrific, the margarita was good, and the hummus was good. None of us really cared for the other drinks or the other desserts. First time DH ever met a bread pudding he didn't like. Totally bummed. This was the thing I was looking forward to the most during the trip.

Yeah, I normally snarf down ANY bread pudding, but all the candy and junk on that just made it blech. Sorry you didn't get to see the show I'd feel the same way.

oh that stinks! so sorry!

what's this about a margarita? I didn't realize ... or maybe the menu has been updated since I read about the drinks ... is this a true margarita? On the rocks, I'm guessing, not frozen?

More party reservations opened up for the last week of October yesterday. We got one for 10/24.
