Having done the dessert party from word go I find the removal of the stormtroopers a huge To what is a paid extra event. Remove them from roaming is one thing but I feel if this is right they should be staying in regards to dessert party

This dessert party has been around for a really, really long time and has seen many changes. The removal of the stormtroopers is something they have to do because of galaxys edge
This used to be outside in the elements, no chairs, no kylo ren meet.
Anyways it looks like August 23rd is the last day of it and that truly makes me sad

Agreed, and I go back waaay before the word go. The Stormtroopers do not appear exclusively for the party. The party mingling is just another stop on their patrol. And that's because the Stormtrooper's barracks is located inside the Launch Bay and the troopers have to exit and/or enter through the party venue. They just couldn't walk through the party without stopping. If the party took place beyond their patrol area, they'd be no troopers. It's a free unintended benefit for party Guests.

That goes for the escort as well. The troopers are on the Entertainment Department's time clock so why not take advantage of the situation. It's actually the last thing they do before clocking out. There would likely be a price increase if the troopers made exclusive appearances just for the dessert party.

I'm really sad about the end of this dessert party. It was definitely the best one, loved the food and drinks better at this one than any of the others.

I feel we might see it coming back of the crowds are manageable during the first month of GE

I’m sure you do as well but years ago the only way to get a picture with a stormtrooper was at the dessert party. They now take pictures outside launchbay presumably due to this all coming to an end but they used to not allow pictures with them as they were on “patrol” so that was an added bonus to party long before they started the kylo meet and greet “fastpass”

Actually they've had the photo Op outside the LB long before I turned in my SW costume for the last time last Oct. Sadly and happily, the SW dessert party was my very last event.

They would also always interact with us at the parties check-in podium. And because we knew and worked with them regularly, we kinda had a regular skit where they pretended to check in to the party or sometimes move me aside and take over the podium. Did you know that there were always on the Guest list and were checked in every night? I assume they still are.

I’ve seen them outside the launch bay for at least the last 3 years. You just have to be there at the right time. Also seen them patrolling by the centre stage and got arrested by them there 2 years ago and made walk around that whole area with them for a while....

That's disappointing and as I recently posted, not having the Stormtroopers at the party is going to lessen the party experience.

I’m disappointed too..and this is not the first time I’ve said this about my pre SWGE trip

I was at DHS on 7/11 and as we were going into the Launch Bay shop to make one last purchase before we left, we saw the Stormtroopers leading out the Dessert Party people to viewing area so I’m guessing they’re still at the party for now as the last day for roaming Stormtroopers was 7/6 right?

So am I right in assuming that the dessert party will not be happening past August 24th? I check every day and there’s nothing. I only recently became interested in doing it, so it’s not a game changer. But if I see it pop up, I’d still like to do it.

I don't think it will be on the schedule past that date unless Disney sees the need to bring it back

that's what I was told by the coordinator. Hopefully they decided to leave a couple for the dessert party

 

[soniam]

sort of. I just finished listening to Wondery's Inside Star Wars podcast by Mark Ramsey. It was about the making of the first movie. Really excellent. It was told more like a story from the perspective of the actors.. Don't listen the Goodbye episode anywhere that you can't look like you have been crying. I was listening on the way to work and had to sit in the parking garage for a bit to compose myself. I didn't cry when the news was announced though.

My family is going to Disneyworld for nine days starting the Saturday before MLK day. We want to do the Star Wars Guided Tour.

Apparently MLK weekend will be absolutely awful in terms of crowds. Is the Star Wars Guided Tour a good way to enjoy the park despite difficult crowd conditions? Or will the heavy crowds ruin the tour?

Thanks!

We attended the dessert party last Saturday 7/20 and the storm troopers were still there - they interacted with guests for the duration of the party and led us out to the viewing area. So at least for now they're still there - we had lots of fun with them!

Hi all! Is Jedii Training being discontinued after Aug. 10th? I'm not seeing any show times beyond that date, so I'm worried. Did I miss an announcement that it will be discontinued?
