star wars nite was fun but despite ticketholders being able to come in at 6pm, 9pm-1am is still to short just because there are still lines everywhere; for photo ops (could take 15min to an hour), character interactions (it is cool that they try an dtake time and converse with the guests before taking a pic), food (plenty of food, impossible to eat everything unless you dedicate your night to it), merch (dumb that they had the catalog of items availabke inside, they should have had it outside so that people wont have to line-up for an hour just to get in the store and realize they dont want anything in there, there were only a handful or limited items and some of them are even on shopdisney) and the popular rides (i didnt get to ride RotR because lines were mostly 75min+ most of the night though other rides are practically walk-ons)
so for the price, just extend it an extra hour or two exclusively for guests because that early entrance, you still got to compete with most hoppers whose milking every minute they have at DL before being kicked out
characters are cool and are rare in the parks like r2d2 and c3po, sabine and exra and even darth maul and vader all out for pics
the firework was cool but short, it does emphasize one of my complaints about batuu, the music… that thing hits and even though im a casual star wars fan, that that thing hits nostalgia
since its short, they should have had more as there really wasnt a parade on this event, just phasma marching with some stormtroopers
there was a cool lightsaber meet up by the falcon, awesome just to be there
got lots of food and im just gon say all were good though i was pissed they sold out of the grogu macaron
there was a special glizzy for the nite for yall jawa lovers
docking bay has these beef stew with curry sauce and weird creamy dessert, both very creative and good (not limited to star wars nite)
french market has this cheese pasta, wish lighting was better but it was delicious but its again creative with the theme, the red part is pasta
cafe orleans got these fried duck, love duck but this was terrible decision because it becomes super hard (no glizzy pun) but the flavors there, also got this filet mignon skewers and its good but pricey, dessert there is good too and it looks awesome
dessert is like s deathstar with chocolate orbit and crack into it and reveal like an eggy yolk (its not egg yolk though) but its good
as for merch, i didnt even buy anything that was limited but im also a simply man, give me a spirit jersey and you got my money - also got a magic key exclusive pin and the othe rpins free once you exit out
overall its always cool to go on these events as i get to literally walk on haunted, indiana, star tours, big thunder, etc… and they have good food and good photo ops and characters expecially for star wars fans who will appreciate those people more
its still too short for what they have to offer, either close DL earlier to kick people out or extend it to 3am, i closed down the park at 1am, got home by 2am and watched moon knight finale and i was wide awake by 7am… so if my washed self can do it then anyone can
oh and maybe make alcohol available during the nite? i didnt even have time to get to ogas and thats probably bumpin but it would be good to be able to drink while you walk around, the main street being where the dj is bumpin pop songs didnt work, too wide open and i felt bad for the dj bumpin for no one
i think i would go again if they offered a bit more and organized it a little better and just extend the time so that guests can do everything they want
but thats it, happy may the 4th!
