Speaking of JTA - how have signups been recently? Our HS day is after MNSSHP, so we will not make rope drop (hoping to arrive between 10 and 11). Still a chance to get in, or should we not even bother trying?
Thank you. We’ll be there on a non EMH Thursday, so hopefully that will up our odds, but your experience is exactly what I’m worried will happen!We just did it on 10/7. There were EMH hours in place so my husband took my son to sign up. He went to the old sign up spot first and so was a few minutes late getting there. His text to me was at 8:09. The earliest he could get was the 11 am slot.
By that showtime, all the slots were full for the rest of the day.
This was the Sunday of a holiday weekend so that probably had something to do with it.
Thank you for this! I started and just got overwhelmed, there is quite a bit of great SW stuff that is unrelated to the Galactic Dessert Party per se.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.
Well former SWaGS dessert party attendees, going all the way back to when it took place outdoors. It's been great fun meeting many, many of you face to face and selecting many of you as the "Guide family of the night". Last Saturday night was my last SWaGS party and as usual I selected the family. It was also my last night as a CM. I chose to spend the last week doing dessert parties by the WS Lagoon at Epcot and at the Launch Bay. Unfortunately for you, I'm now retired from Disney but not from here, so I'll still be here to harass and annoy you.
Thanks for the kind words.Thank you for the insider info that you've provided it is much appreciated. Enjoy your retirement.
Thank you, FP, for all your help here on this thread, as well as over the years here on the dis. Looking forward to seeing you continue here on the dis, maybe not with quite as much insider info, but I'm willing to bet you will still have your connections.Well former SWaGS dessert party attendees, going all the way back to when it took place outdoors.

Has anyone heard of “star war days” at HS. And what exactly is this. Thanks
That was a nice night, I was able to make a Magical Moment for the kids and also meet Dan Murphy.These two little guys, Jeremy and Christopher, appreciated your knowing some of the folks on the Dark Side. My daughter, Natalie, and I do also.
SWW sadly had it's last year 2015. They now have Star Wars Galactic Nights, so far they have done 3, coinciding with release of movies and SW Celebration. There are rumors that SWW might return once Galaxy's Edge is completedHas anyone heard of “star war days” at HS. And what exactly is this. Thanks

I have some quick questions about the Star Wars dessert party. I tried to search but it is really overwhelming this thread Or it is probably just me.
We are thinking of going Saturday, Oct. 27 and the ticket we are thinking about say 7:00. 1. Does that mean we check in at 7:00? What time are the fireworks?
2. Is there seating now while you eat the desserts?
3. Is there seating while we watch the fireworks?
4. Are the desserts and such unlimited?
Thank you so much....
I think once SWGE opens Galactic nights will change or go away.do you think there will be a Galactic nights Dec. 20, 2019? I have to plan my December trip next year in January and AP renewals. I was not sure with it being close to Christmas and Galaxy Edge opening if they would still have it.
