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

[teeveejunkee]

So if/when the event on the 17th does go live, where is everyone expecting to see it? Do you think it will be under dining reservations like the JBJB dessert party? Or possibly through the AMC site like last year? I realize we don't even know if this has any connection to the movie and everyone is guessing. It's just fun to speculate.

I wish they would release details before they release my JBJB dates so I can choose without a possible cancel.

Same here. I have so much hanging in the balance waiting for this event to be announced, including a BOG reservation that I might have to cancel on the 17th. This event would take priority. That is our last night at WDW too. Seems like a good way to end the trip.

Yeah, but Rivers of Light was posted on the HUB for a while earlier this year, too

Still, anxiously waiting....as this may be what gets DH to agree to a trip in December!!

so true...I think RoL traumatized us all

If it's in connection with the movie it might be through AMC again

Are you choosing between the two or are you able to do both?

@yulilin3 Oh boy, more sites to stalk. Yay! ;-)

About how long was the Star Wars show that is being replaced by Jingle Bell Jingle Bam? I'm trying to guess how long JBJB might be and whether I can keep my 6:55pm reservation at Hollywood & Vine and still see the show?

12 minutes

Will I be allowed to keep my kids in the double-stroller while in the viewing area?

Also, do you recommend our entire party enters the viewing area 30 minutes in advance? Or would half of the party be able to hold spots for the whole group?

I know they were allowed before but I'm not sure of the current situation
I would recommend everyone coming out together, once the bulk of the party arrives it fills up really fast and night be hard to find the rest of you family
Hopefully someone with a stroller that has gone recently can answer

I realize my question is based on something that is completely unknown, but I'm attempting to plan my ADRs 180 days in advance to increase my chances at getting the restaurants I want the most so here goes. I understand that any answers are complete guesses.

I'm running the Dark Side 1/2 Marathon next April as part of the Kessel Run Challenge since I'm running Light Side at Disneyland in February. So for obvious reasons, this event is a must do for me assuming it returns.

Based on what schedule I can see for the Galactic Spectacular, it appears to be running on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Has it consistently held to this pattern? I hope that it does since that works well for my current plans and they can be easily molded to fit those plans and not risk jeopardizing important ADRs.

Thanks again.

Actually it had been running nightly since it opened in mid June until September. It went to 4 days a week this month. So it can go either way

Right there in the same boat with you. I have a tentative plan on when we want to do the fireworks if they happen. I'm doing my whole plan around that unknown. Here's to hoping it becomes known sooner rather than later so that we can adjust if necessary.

I think that if Disney is being rational, they're almost guaranteed to run the show every night during race weekend since it's (1) the week after Star Wars Celebration Orlando and (2) Dark Side 1/2 Marathon Weekend. Since these 2 events in Orlando, one of them on Disney property are guaranteed to bring Star Wars fans to Orlando it makes perfect sense to do so.

But I'm not exactly excited about them only running the event that Friday/Saturday on account of the races since I'd rather be trying to go to sleep for a race the next morning on account of me running the Dark Side Challenge.

The reasons you listed above are why I'm thinking we don't have to worry. I'd be VERY surprised if we don't have fireworks during that time period.

I also agree with you about the Friday/Saturday fireworks. Ugh. No thank you. We have early nights planned both of those nights. Right now, I'm hoping to the fireworks on our first night there (Thursday) and if that is not possible Sunday for after the half.
