Star Wars Dessert Party in Hollywood Studios; Review

Last Updated on July 14, 2019

Is the Star Wars Dessert Party at Hollywood Studios worth it?

Walt Disney World currently has 4 dessert parties to choose from, one in each park. The most recent one I attended was the Star Wars Dessert Party in Hollywood Studios.

The dessert party usually starts one hour before the fireworks, but we checked-in about 45 minutes early. That allowed us to get a table without any issues. If you show up too late, then you may have trouble finding a table that is close to the food/drink tables.

They have both sweet and savoury selections, along with beverages including alcohol options for guests 21 and older. There is more than enough food to fill your belly and everything is delicious.

The party is in the Star Wars Launch Bay, so you are free to go and meet characters at any point during the evening. About 30 minutes before the fireworks start, cast members will escort you out to a special viewing area for the Star Wars fireworks. In my opinion, this perk alone makes the party worth it. You get a really great point of view and they rope it off so that no one is standing immediately in front of that area.

You’ll also leave the party with a souvenir. When I attended, they were giving out the Tie Fighter popcorn buckets, but I believe they change the souvenirs from time to time.

All in all, it was a really fun experience and I would definitely recommend it, especially if you are a Star Wars fan!

Back to Walt Disney World Dessert Parties

Fireworks Dessert Party; At present Disney is offering the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party at Hollywood Studios, and the Frozen Ever After Dessert Party at Epcot, which pairs desserts and a ride on the Frozen Ever After attraction with a showing of IllumiNations.

What’s Included in the Star Wars Dessert Party?

Included in the cost is an open dessert and limited drinks buffet. The sweets range from Mickey bars, Mickey ice cream sandwiches, and the other standard Disney park treats, to more elaborate Star Wars-themed desserts.

All ticketed guests receive a wristband to make easy escapes to the restrooms. Each person receives a Chewbacca mug at the conclusion of the event. The souvenir mugs typically run approximately $15 in the Disney parks so it adds value to the ticket price.

Additional Information

  • Admission into Disney’s Hollywood Studios is not included.

  • Guests are relocated to the reserved viewing area 15 minutes before the fireworks show.

To Book

Book online or call (407) WDW-DINE.

NOTE: Prices and inclusions are subject to change. Please visit the Disney World Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party Page to confirm information prior to booking.

Guests are allowed to check into the party at 8:45, one hour before the fireworks begin.  Tables are first come, first served. There are no chairs at the red table-clothed bar tables. Young children can’t reach their food, so it’s unrealistic for kids under the age of six to stand next to these tables for the hour that’s required after long days of park fun. Strollers are not allowed, so that adds an additional complication for some families.
