You'll be fine, finding a good spot shouldn't be a problem, it's not that busy. Anywhere beyond the projection towers and as close to the center as possible is where you want to be.They didn't want to spend the $$ to do the desert party that night.... where should we stand to get the best view?
YesAre they still giving out the Darth Vader cup?
Fun party tonight, met two really nice Dissers and I hit it out of the park again with my selection of the family of the night.

Thanks, and you may be right because as I'm not scheduled to work any next week, that may have been my last SWaGS party, I hope not.Going out on top of your game, huh
I finally bit the bullet and bought tickets. I was so back and forth about the cost because I had to buy 9 tickets since my mom and Dad are going with us.
We are celebrating my 17 year olds one year alive. Last year, on his 16th birthday, he was riding with a friend on a Kawasaki 4 seater utility vehicle, and the friend lost control. It landed on my son and basically crushed everything between his neck and hips. His spine was broken in 7 places, scapula crushed, ribs broken in 12+ places, liver crushed, one lung crushed one lung punctured, they had to remove the crushed lung, hips crushed, several other internal injuries I won’t get into. Anyway, he was on life support and in the ICU for 6 weeks. We were pulled aside 3 separate times and told that he was probably not going to make it. Well, he made it and has gone through lots of therapies and surgeries, and is a walking, talking miracle. You wouldn’t even know what he has been through this last year by looking at him or talking to him.
One of the things my son told me was that when he was laying in the field, feeling like he was drowning because he couldn’t breathe and in so much pain, he had his life memories start playing before him. He saw the trips we took him on as a kid and it brought him Peace in the middle of the pain. It has been 6 years since we have been to Disney. We have never done FP+, and every park has a new ride or land since we have been. We are so excited. If any other Disser’s are there on 09/24, that is the day we are going to the Star Wars dessert party.
Ok, just reviewed the last 25 pages or so, let me know if my summary below sounds accurate.
Dessert party changed in July.
There are now some savory items (cheese, charcuterie, hummus, and flat crackers) in addition to desserts.
Desserts are not Star Wars-themed anymore.
It includes a few adult beverage options: 3 mixed drinks, 3 beers, a red wine and a white wine.
There are now assigned tables and seating during the dessert portion.
You still get a souvenir stein.
There isn't a meet and get, but at that time it's not hard to meet the Launch Bay characters.
You are walked from the desserts at Launch Bay to a platform (?) in front of the Chinese Theater.
The view of the show and fireworks is good and not crowded.
Only issue with the view is that it's a little too close to the Chinese theater.
