According to a the Disney Parks Blog, the Symphony In The Stars: A Galactic Spectacular nightly fireworks show will begin on December 18th instead of early January.
The fireworks spectacular was originally expected to open in early January of 2016, but it now appears to be launching in time for the busy holiday week and just one day after the premier of the new show for the Star Wars The Force Awakens on December 17th.
The new nightly fireworks spectacular will feature music from the entire Star Wars saga, including the new Force Awakens movie.
Also announced is a new dessert party for the nightly firework show, beginning in the new year, but is now available for reservations.
Available daily from January 5th through March 19th of 2016, the dessert party will offer up-close viewing of the Star Wars themed Symphony in the Stars: A Galactic Spectacular fireworks show, desserts, and specialty drinks (alcohol included). A souvenir stein featuring Chewbacca will also be included.
The price is $69.00 per adult (age 10 and over) and $39.00 for children (ages 3 to 9); tax and gratuity are included. Theme park admission is also required.
Reservations can be made now online at disneyworld.com.
