Hollywood Studios receives more fireworks for the Christmas break as Star Wars returns


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Hollywood Studios has made an unusual move that will please fans of Star Wars.  They are adding Star Wars fireworks to the entertainment schedule during the Christmas break.

Beginning December 16, 2016 Star Wars – A Galactic Spectacular will be shown nightly through Christmas break.  Originally the show wasn’t supposed to return until January 1 while Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM was being shown.

According to a post on Disboards.com, the park will instead offer TWO different fireworks shows along with Fantasmic! for a couple of weeks.  The show times for Star Wars – A Galactic Spectacular are said to be as follows:

  • December 16 – 10:30pm
  • December 17th – 9:30pm
  • December 18-30 – 6:15pm

As of 7:45pm on 12/5/2016 the Disney official website doesn’t reflect these additional shows, but they could be added soon.  Scenes from Star Wars:  Rogue One are supposed to be added to the new version of the show.

I wish they would BAM and Fantasmic a little further apart in time from each other, seems silly the 2 night shows almost overlap.

I would say it was intentional for crowds
