New in 2017: Star Wars Edition.


While the "Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular" Fireworks show at Hollywood Studios isn't exactly new for 2017, it was put on hiatus for a few months last year while the newer holiday show, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam!, ran in its place. As of this month, however, the Galactic Spectacular is back on the schedule--running nightly against the backdrop of The Great Movie Ride, right in the center of the park.

The "music, magic, and characters of Star Wars" combine with special effects and fireworks to put guests inside "iconic" scenes from the saga. Lasers, lighting, pyrotechnics, and projection effects all contribute to the nighttime show, which is by far one of the best I have ever seen!  The fireworks spectacular is a great way to cap off a day full of Star Wars magic, including character meet & greets (Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, Storm Troopers, & jawas can all be found at Hollywood Studios), incredible displays of memorabilia (with new Rogue One additions!), Star Wars stage shows and movie clips, the opportunity to train as a Jedi, and, of course, a ride through hyperspace on Star Tours-The Adventures Continue.

A brand-new, behind-the-scenes, all-access, VIP tour is even available for Star Wars fans!  Guests choosing to purchase this upgrade are able to enjoy the two live stage shows as well as the fireworks show from a reserved seating area, have guaranteed spots for younglings (ages 4-12) in the Jedi Training Academy, skip the line at Star Tours-The Adventures Continue, participate in a guided tour at the Star Wars Launch Bay, and indulge in a Star Wars-themed dinner as well as as a Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party at the end of the night.

If you're interested in learning more about Hollywood Studios and/or the Star Wars experiences that can be found there, feel free to email me at heather@mmadventures.net.  I'd love to help plan a trip that is out of this world!
