Hi Margaret,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. We celebrated my son’s birthday at the
Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party, and we had such a
stellar (see what I did there?) time!
One of the things my family really enjoyed was that, during the party, we were able to meet the characters in the
Star Wars Launch Bay with very minimal wait times. The Launch Bay is open to the public during the party, but we found the waits were around 10 minutes for BB-8, Kylo Ren, and our favorite, Chewbacca (he gives the
best hugs). We actually met Kylo Ren multiple times because my son loves that character experience so much; he had done
Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple earlier in the day, and he kept telling Kylo Ren about his plans to join the dark side. Kylo Ren’s dark and foreboding presence doesn’t faze that kid, and it was priceless!
Stormtroopers make their rounds through the dessert area and interact with guests there. They never fail to make me laugh during Guest interactions, and it was great fun to watch while enjoying our desserts.
Before heading outside to watch the fireworks, each Guest is given a souvenir mug. I won’t spoil the surprise, but the mug is character-themed. We love ours and use them all the time at home.
From the delicious desserts to the Star Wars fun to the incredible viewing area for the fireworks spectacular, my family thought the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party was absolutely out-of-this world.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
