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

FastPasser said:
I was there too. I dropped off the dessert party guests at the viewing area, walked away, but I didn't hear the start of the show when I should have. What I did hear as I was leaving to go home was an announcement. Hmm, why is that lady making an announcement, something's not right, and it wasn't. I guess they had some technical difficulties, tried to fix them, but didn't get it quite right.

what Jeff said was that Frozen Sing Along had started late and they had to wait for that show to be over since some of the effects go off on top of the Hyperion
 
I was at DHS but was streaming Fantasmic! so didn't watch SwaGS, a couple of things now that I have thee experience
* There's very little chance of seeing both shows if F! is scheduled 30 minutes before SWaGS unless you get out of the theater really fast
* SWaGS from Hollywood Blvd, behind the projection tower gives you a very limited view, I saw a lot of people watching, and some just left cause it"s underwhelming from that vantage point
* If you just want to see the fireworks portion of SWaGS the walkway on the left heading out of Fantasmic gives you an unobstructed view, but if you are watching from that point go to the left or right, a lot of people were just trying to leave and entire families were in the middle watching. Like I've said before, fireworks are a very small part of SWaGS so don't expect fireworks to go off all the time, there are moments of nothing
* I really don't understand why people leave before shows end at Disney. I understand people wanting to beat the crowds or trying to go do something else but if you are investing time to see Fantasmic plan on watching then whole thing, it is very rude when people get up just as the show is about to end. I saw this happen during Fantasmic and also, I grabbed a bench by Hollywood and Vine and people were leaving from watching before it ended. But that's jts me. I would rather sit on a bench for 30 minutes and wait until the crowds die down and then head out.
*Bus lines and traffic getting out of the park is pretty crazy, again wait it out, or if you are leaving after F! take advantage.
 
Thank you @yulilin3 for all the great information in this thread!

I have 2 questions. For a 6:45 night, if we left directly after this was over, around what time do you think we'd expect to get to the Polynesian or Grand Floridian? Also, I know along the way I read a post that referred to where a decent spot to go to would be if you can't get there an hour early. I just can't find it. Thanks!
 


so if club villain is now at HS Fridays and Saturdays Dec. 16 and 17 there cannot be a SW event the right?

It's hard to say but just plan on about 45 minutes to an hour
I'm out of the house but as soon as I get back home I'll post the spots for last minute arrival with pictures

You can also watch from right in front of the Chinese Theater, there is usually no one there, it is sort of like watching a movie from the front seats. You will miss the side screen but you will see everything else, just really up close
a couple of pics from that spot

Thank you so much for your help!
 
Off topic a bit. A droid organization here in Orlando decided to build an droid to honor the victims of the Pulse shooting and they made these patches to raise money, I think this is a great idea. Not asking you guys for money or anything cause I know that's not allowed here, I just wanted to share the design

Do we know if the Star Wars, Galaxy Far, Far Away show and the March of the First Order will be continuing past November 12th? That is the latest date Disney is showing for them on MDE. My kids are already sad that the fireworks have been replaced (although they are excited about the Christmas show) so I am really hoping they will continue.

Ah, there is hope then yet. Guess I will have to be patient and wait another week, or maybe 2 since I'm going on a Saturday, to find out. They sure aren't giving us much notice on anything these days. Thank you so much for responding yulilin! I'm so excited to finally see all the Star Wars stuff I've been stalking on this thread so I want to make sure I allow enough time! Lol!
