You can also send a tweet to @WDWtoday and give cast member compliments. I did this once and they printed my tweet, gave it to the cast member and took a picture to send back to me in a tweet. It was a great way to know that the cast member got the #castcompliment.
I would go if they had a JarJar cup...just sayin
Star Wars Things to do at DHS:
Jedi Training: you do have to sign up for this, first thing in the morning head to the Indiana Jones gift shop (between 50s Prime Time and Indiana Jones show and you can sign up to fight Vader or the 7th Sister. (if you want more details on this let us know)
Build a Lightsaber: you can do this inside Tattooine Traders (star Tours gift shop) or at Disney Springs also you can Build a Droid
Launch Bay: detailed info on first page
Watch Star Wars A Galaxy Far Far Away Show on Center Stage, it's presented several times a day (info on first page)
Watch Imperial March lead by Captain Phasma several times a day info on first page
Watch Path of a Jedi 10 minute movie, theater in Between the Hyperion Theater and Star Tours
Ride Star Tours
Watch the nighttime spectacular Star Wars a Galactic Spectacular.
JT is for kids 4 to 12 so 9 is a perfect ageI would appreciate more info on the jedi training, any tips, and if it would be ok for a 9 year old or would he find it too young?
Tgey service food until the fireworks start and then pack up evening pretty quickly, you niggling be able to grab something during the show but not when it ends.I haven't been a reader of this thread until now; we just recently booked a trip for October.
I know they haven't announced if/when the fireworks, or dessert party, will be held yet. I also know they haven't yet started holding the dessert party in the launch bay. That said, what are the perceived advantages or disadvantages of the party relocation? Does it still seems like a good idea to attend? I was under the impression that the way the party is now, you could still enjoy your food and drink during and after(?) the fireworks, is that correct?
Thanks!

They should release dates mid July. I'm 99.9% sure they will both continue. Keep an eye on this thread I update the first page whenever new info is releasedAnd we're going to be there in just over a month. Anyone know when they'll let us know if the fireworks/dessert party will be extended through next month?

Here are the pros and cons of moving the party inside, in my opinion
Pros
Nice air conditioned area
No need to line up early for a good table
No melting darth vader cupcakes
Star wars atmosphere and music
Cons
The roped off area will be smaller, how much no one knows
It is good to have a table to lean on or as buffer
We will all be waiting for the reports from the 10th
It's a hard choice for sure. But yeah, the new show has the disadvantage that to properly enjoy it you have to be in front of the projection towers and that's a more limited viewing space.Going to keep my eye on this one. Almost pulled the trigger just now on ressies for the third week of July for DD and me, but it's tough to justify $138 unless it's just crazy awesome. We saw the fireworks show back in April, before the changes, and had a fantastic view outside of 50s Prime Time Cafe. But now, as it seems more of the show comes from the projections and less from the fireworks, I'm tempted to pay for a better view. But $138.... ouch.
As much as I can't wait to see the new show, it makes me really sad that it takes Echo Lake away as a viewing option. It's been my favorite for all the DHS fireworks shows in recent years.Going to keep my eye on this one.

100% agree. Many, many memories from Echo LakeAs much as I can't wait to see the new show, it makes me really sad that it takes Echo Lake away as a viewing option. It's been my favorite for all the DHS fireworks shows in recent years.

Convenience and peace of mind is key with this one. Instead of holding a spot for at least an hour and half in the sun and heat you can be enjoying some food in A/C knowing that you will still have a great spot to view the show...but the money involved is the big issue.
I guess this doesn't really help you at all![]()
I did it on the first night of the new show and is the best view available, you get the whole scope of the show. You will not eat all that money in food but you can always bring a container and grab some things for snacks back at your room.Convenience and peace of mind are big, honestly. For those who have done the dinner party as it is now, is the view really worth it? And if we pay, and then are escorted outside 15 minutes before showtime, do you think there's any chance we won't have a great view? DD10 obviously won't be indulging in any of the drinks, and with me driving, I really won't be, either. So we'd have to eat a LOT of cupcakes to justify that $138! But this is a once in a lifetime trip for us, and she's an absolute Star Wars nut, so if it's worth the spend, I'll probably do it.
You can't sit on the floor and see this show, there's a lot of projections that you'll miss. No wheel chair spots either unless they added it in this past weekI saw the "old" fireworks in April. Have a wheelchair guest. The whole show was in the sky and people sat on the ground so there was no issue. Do people still sit on the ground for the new show? I heard there are many projections low on the theater and if people are standing the wheelchair guest won't be able to see.
Also, is there a handicap viewing area for the show? There was none in april but it wasn't really needed either.
