Hi, Brian! As one of those types of women who would have to be convinced, it might help the women in your life to know that there will be shopping available!
This fantastic, first of it's kind event ever at Walt Disney World, looks like it's going to be fabulous - even if there wasn't any opportunity to shop! There will be special themed party zones throughout the park, as well as a Death Star Disco party zone. While I don't know for sure, I would speculate that you will see character meet and greets, as I know Mickey and company love to throw on their Jedi robes now and again and party in out of this world style!
The crown jewel of the evening is going to be the Star Wars Fireworks Spectacular, that you don't have to be a Star Wars fan to love. If nothing else, sell them on the chance to ride Star Tours one last time before the ride closes for re-imagining!
And if you can't sell them on the shopping for souvenirs, the attractions, or the fireworks, you could always book dinner on a different evening at one of the incredible Walt Disney World restaurants - like the California Grill or Citricos. I am not a Star Wars fan, but I'd have a hard time not trading your indulgence for some fine dining!
I hope you get to go! All of the information you need can be found right
