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

[dreamer17555]

Debating trying to book this for our trip. I have an 11 yo son who loves Star Wars but we are going to Galactic Nights on our last evening... How good is the view from the dessert party viewing location? I am very surprised that Disney is not holding the party on Galactic Night and charging a premium for it.

I don't think it would sell. There are ample food offerings, so you'd be cannibalizing from those locations and a VIP viewing area is not necessary on that night. You'd also use up time that could be better utilized on Galactic Nights activities.

You wouldn't want to waste time doing a dessert party - similar to why I wouldn't do a dessert party during a MNSSHP or MVMCP. There's so much to do and eat and drink anyway. We went in Dec and there was plenty of room for the fireworks show.

I'm still here, super busy, you're doing an excellent job btw.
Maybe with working 7 days a week I'll be able to afford to go to the desert party again and harass the team that checks us in

@FastPasser. It WAS you when I checked in at the party in December. I asked if you were fastpasser and you said no, even asking the lady assisting you if she had heard of "Fastpasser". (That could have even been Yulilin3!) Then throughout the party you kept teasing me for being the dumb blonde! Boy, was I ever, for believing you when you said you weren't fastpasser.! Do you always go to the party in stealth mode? Lol!

@FastPasser. It WAS you when I checked in at the party in December. I asked if you were fastpasser and you said no

I was busy doing the JBJB party so I did the SW party only once in Dec, I doubt it was me. What date did you attend?

@FastPasser.(That could have even been Yulilin3!)

Nope, she's not a CM.

Then throughout the party you kept teasing me for being the dumb blonde!

I'm seldom inside the party area as it's not part of what I'm assigned to do. Also, it's not part of my personality to tease anyone, especially about being a dumb blonde. I'm very low key.

Just booked our first SW dessert party for June 11th! We are very excited.

Going to have to Uber back to the resort with all those available drinks.

So I really do qualify for the dumb blonde jokes, because apparently we went in March! The 6th to be exact. I did look at his name tag but of course 20 minutes after leaving the party, out the window it went.....I really EARNED that dumb blonde status and darned proud of it. (Only now the blonde is grey! Lol And 25 years ago I might not have laughed, but what 25 year old doesn't take themselves too seriously?)

The joking was all in good fun and I certainly did not take exception to it. My bad if it's a case of mistaken identity. Carry on!

Oh well, you lucked out because I was at AK on Mar 6th.

Does anyone know how the sign up works for Jedi Training at Galactic Nights on May 27?

 

[tinkerhon]

Just noticed that July dates are no longer grey --- Calendar shows all dates in blue and able to book, but checked just about all dates and nothing available

I went to Chrome incognito mode and then did the right click to open the booking time up in a separate window. That tip came from the HEA dessert party thread and it worked for me.

Thanks for the tip -- but not sure July dates available, so going to call -
You were able to book for July ?

June 11th but I've been trying for a couple weeks.

Yep- I see a ton of June dates available for booking - it's July that I am looking for - I am able to search, but everything showing as unavailable - yesterday, was all Gray and couldn't even select a date

 

[chuff88]

I'm potentially interested in a SW dessert party on September 30th. I know that there currently aren't any scheduled shows after June 30th, but in case they show up, can someone explain to me how the timing of this works with Fantasmic? We're only doing one HS day and would like to see both shows if possible.

 

[trainingupmy4princes]

So I read when they changed the seating area for the dessert party that the view isn't that great from the stage area. Is this still the case, we are going in early October, how hard will it be to find a good view then without the dessert party? We missed it last time because JBJB replaced it that December. I have a scifi fan DH and DS (not just SW but Star Trek, Dr. Who, and Stargate) so they will definitely mutiny if we miss it this time.

 

[Senaby]

July dates are bookable now. Just booked July 10th for my family, they will be sooo happy about it!
We did the party in 2016 and we loved it.

Fantasmic is usually right before SWAGS which is when the dessert party is. There is most likely no way to do the party and Fantasmic. Based on timing is isn't very easy to see both on the same night even if you do not book the party.
