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

[fatmanatee]

Timed entry would still be a huge mess. Look at this article from the opening of the Wizarding World of HP, true that inside the actual land it was busy m=but manageable but look at the lines outside...if you are familiar with Universal Orlando that line snaked out of IOA and over to US entrance and beyond, that would be like the line for DHS snaking out of the park and back all the way to Beach Club.

Ha, I was actually looking for something like this, but with an update maybe six months after opening. Needless to say I'm not going near Galaxy's Edge on opening day (it's obv pretty far into the future but I'm thinking about going to DL in Fall/Winter 2019). Universal really handled this badly, and I guess the question is if Disney can do any better.

April calendar updated with SWaGS at 9pm through the 28th and 9:30pm the 29th and 30th, dessert party has not been released yet for April

This has me intrigued for sure. We bought tickets in October and there was no age restriction and now it states kids must be ten years or older. Im hoping to get some first hand feedback as well.

Not naming names, but someone took their almost 9 year old 51" tall son to Secrets of the Empire at the Void in Disney Springs. The son loved it so much that he asked to do it again immediately, and, in a moment of weakness, his dad agreed.

It was slightly awkward to put on the gear because it is hanging on a hook that was too tall for the 51" tall boy, but the Void workers were very helpful. The gear is slightly heavy, so the Void workers advised that if you need help or get tired to just raise your hand while you're in the experience.

I mention these slight inconveniences just to be transparent and give others information. By slight, I mean slight, negligible, almost non-existent. The boy had an AMAZING time and named it as one of the highlights of his trip. He didn't have any complaints about the experience.

it does not have an end date but most people tend to think it's not a permanent thing

If you had to guess, would you expect it to still be running in March?

I expect it to last awhile. The Void has a Ghostbusters VR experience in NYC that's been running for a year and a half and this Star Wars attraction should stay packed for awhile.

It seems to be getting great reviews so I would expect it to still be here in March

OMG we are at the dessert party now and got picked as the family of the day! So cool, the kids are so excited!

We’ve got the dessert party on the night of Jan 6th as a surprise for my daughter’s upcoming 10th birthday. She’s a huge BB8 fan. Have we heard if the souvenirs have changed over yet or still waiting for inventory to change over?

We just got the BB8 sippers tonight. Had totally forgotten and almost bought some, glad we didn’t!

Being selected as the "Honorary Guide Family of the Night" is a fun experience. Hope you took photos.

No one on here has heard because it's unknown. It's supposed to switch to something else, but it's up in the air as to when.

Photos and video! Kids were so excited they barely even ate anything, although DH and I still indulged in the food and drink. It was an amazing way to finish our week at Disney, we head home tomorrow. It was a week to remember!

One thing about Secrets of the Empire, which I REALLY wish I had had time to deal with when I was there with my brother:

Before going in, they had us do three check, can we see our own hands, can we see each other, and can we hear each other. Once everyone gives the all clear you begin. Well we checked out for all those things, but it turned out my brother had a glitch in his headset and was getting NONE of the spoken audio by the characters throughout the entire thing. Sound effects sure, but no story or instructions. Being by brother (a very special person) he said NOTHING about this until we were done, out of our gear and out the door. Sigh. And we had a flight to catch so by then I couldn't turn around and ask that he get to try it again. So if it is seem like you are missing ANY audio during the first bit of the simulation don't be my brother, HOLLER! *bangs head on wall*

(I am also a bad sister because I didn't realize that the VR place near me in NYC had brought back Trials on Tatooine AND now had Droid Repair Bay, so I my brother missed out on both. I AM SUCH A BAD SISTER. Who took her brother to Galactic Nights but hey...)

Tomorrow is our party date. DS is a huge Star Wars fan.

Thank you fine sir!!!

You just never know when Pixie Dust will be sprinkled.

Scrolled back a few pages looking for answer and didn't see specifics so sorry if this is a repost question but are the bb8 sippers the same ones they've been selling around the parks for awhile now? Have one already and thought would be cool to bring back son a souvenir. Not sure I need 3 bbs in my kitchen, now I kinda wish I went with the FEA dessert party instead...

 

[FastPasser.]

Yes they are. When are you going?

 

[3gr8boys]

Anyone out there with recent Star Wars Tour experience to share? Wondering what is truly special beyond what we can do on our own (me, DH, DS 15, DS 11)....better meet n greets? Worthwhile viewing area for live show, March of the First Order and SWAGS? Entertainment courtesy of CM tour guides?? We will be there mid April and I am considering the tour or dessert party as a splurge.

Noticed for this week the Star Wars Fireworks were pushed back to 10pm. We will be there Easter week which is also supposed to be extremely busy this year. Is the push back something that has happened before and when did the Christmas crowds get the update on the show time?

I'm having issues with scheduling and being able to get both Fantasmic and SW Fireworks on the same night would be great! I know some advise to make the mad dash but I haven't seen the SW fireworks before and want to have a good view.
