Because that area is so close to the theater, plus the foliage obstructing the view, only about half of that raised area has a good view of all 3 projection screens. But that's good use of the space.Just left dhs and asked if you could watch the projection shows from the elevated center stage location now that the stage is not there. Was told that the area is now reserved for wheel chairs and their parties
I'm happy they finally have a spot for wheel chairsBecause that area is so close to the theater, plus the foliage obstructing the view, only about half of that raised area has a good view of all 3 projection screens. But that's good use of the space.

page 1 post #4 has a lot of reviews plus videos and pics.My husband is a Star Wars Fanatic and was thinking of doing this for my family during our visit. My question is it worth the money?
thanks
Dodged that bullet, I thought you were going to say that you might have to put up with Fastpasser.The only bad thing is the price tag IMHO
I count that as a plusDodged that bullet, I thought you were going to say that you might have to put up with Fastpasser.
Thanks, must be that new math.I count that as a plus
This makes any dessert party worth it to me:My husband is a Star Wars Fanatic and was thinking of doing this for my family during our visit. My question is it worth the money?
thanks
What would push it over the top in value for the SWaGS Dessert Party:
- If I or my husband were a Star Wars fanatic
Oh, you mean those things I sneak cans of Diet Coke out of the party in?You failed to mention the stylish Chewbacca mugs everyone is offered.
thank you for sharing your amazing storyHi my favorite DIS friends! I've been keeping up, but quiet. I wanted to share the incredible moment we had in Launch Bay last week though. Our HS day was Wed. June 7, and day 4 of our trip. Kids were a bit tired, and it was pouring rain. We signed up for an early Jedi training and it was cancelled. Kids were sad and did not even want to stay for the Darth M&G, they just wanted to get out of the rain, so we went back to the hotel at noon. We came back about 4 to much better weather. As we walked in, a security CM noticed my daughter's 5th birthday button and gave her this inexpensive plastic Elsa trinket (like something that probably cost 25 cents at a party store). She LOVED it because it was glittery and Elsa. Fast forward - about 7 pm we went to Launch Bay (great time to go, we saw all three characters in less than 45 mins). As we were leaving, passing the Jawas, DD noticed she had dropped her Elsa trinket at some point. She was so tired it was the moment she hit the wall. She just sat down in the floor, sobbing. Not throwing a fit, but sobbing. A Jawa came over and bent down to check on her, I told the Jawa what happened. The Jawa gave DD a huge hug and motioned to her to stay there. She went and riffled through the other 2 Jawas bags to try and find something, but they did not have anything nice left. She then came back and motioned for me to stay a bit longer. I saw her go pull a CM from the check in for the dessert party away. A few minutes later, the cast member and the Jawa returned with the manager from the dessert party, and the manager gave DD a certificate to get a nice Elsa pin in the gift store near the entrance. It made my DD's entire trip. She is still talking about how nice the Jawa was to her. She even went back to the room that night and drew a picture for the Jawa and asked the front desk to send it to the Jawas. My budding SW fangirl now thinks they are the most awesome people ever!
We're also going in November! Do you know how far up until in NOvember they still do the dessert party?
We don't arrive until the 12th and i know the Christmas Dessert parties start around then
1. I always get a spot about an hour and a half before the show. The spot I get is right by the taped walkway (you can see pictures of this on page one from Josh's review) Now some have had luck arriving closer to showtime but I hate to wiggle myself into a spot so I just grab mine earlyI'm trying to decide if I want to do this dessert party on September 2nd. Neither of us are super Star Wars fans but do want to see the show. (I've actually only seen the original three episodes.)
1.How difficult would it be to see the show (how early would we have to find a spot) at that time of year without the dessert party?
2.We're already planning dessert part in the MK and for IllumiNations in that week. Would it be overkill to add in a third?
3.My main reason for wanting to do the party is to not have to fight a huge crowd for a good viewing location. So, would the length of the necessary wait be about the same as the length of the dessert party? Are the worst views from the dessert party still good?
4.This last part is a little silly from a woman "old enough to know better" but I'm scared of Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and the Storm Troopers. Are there Storm Troopers all over the whole party or do they just come when it's time to lead the crowd out?
5.And somewhat non-related to the thread...should I watch the other episodes before seeing this show?

My perspective of this dessert party is of one who does not see what the big deal is about Star Wars. I saw the first movie in the theater as a child and I've seen a few others here and there. Not much over time has persuaded me that the general premise is that it's about war...in the stars. So...meh.
