Disney just straight up deleted the Docking Bay 7 dining package for Fire of the Rising Moons fireworks at Disneyland, and they didn’t even bother to announce it or give anyone a heads up. Like, the package literally just VANISHED from the website and the app without any explanation. One day it was bookable, the next day it’s completely gone like it never existed.
For anyone who doesn’t know what we’re talking about, back in November 2024, Disney launched this dining package at Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge that included food and a reserved viewing area for Fire of the Rising Moons, which is basically the Star Wars version of Disneyland’s regular fireworks show with Star Wars music and projections. It was a premium experience where you could pay extra to guarantee good viewing and not have to worry about fighting crowds for a decent spot.
And now? Poof. Gone. The webpage returns error messages, the app has zero trace of it, and Disney hasn’t said a single word about why they killed it. This is especially weird because the package only existed for a few months. Disney dining packages usually stick around for YEARS, so seeing one disappear this quickly is honestly pretty unusual and makes us wonder what went wrong.
The timing is super interesting too because Galaxy’s Edge is about to go through some MAJOR changes. Starting April 29, Disney is basically throwing out the sequel trilogy timeline that Galaxy’s Edge was originally built around and bringing in characters from all across Star Wars history. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, all the classics are coming to Batuu alongside the newer characters like Rey and Mando. They’re updating shops, changing music, the whole nine yards.
So is the dining package removal connected to all these Galaxy’s Edge changes? We honestly have no idea because Disney won’t tell us anything. But the timing definitely makes you go “hmmmm.” It feels like Disney might be rethinking everything about Galaxy’s Edge offerings as they transition the land to this new multi-era concept. A dining package that launched during the sequel trilogy era might not fit whatever vision they have for the updated Batuu.
What You Actually Got With This Package
Let’s talk about what this dining package included before Disney yeeted it into the void. Basically, you booked a reservation for Docking Bay 7, got food from their menu (the quick-service restaurant in Galaxy’s Edge with all the Star Wars-themed food items), and then you got access to a special reserved viewing area for Fire of the Rising Moons.
The whole point was convenience and guaranteed viewing. You didn’t have to show up super early to stake out a good spot. You didn’t have to fight crowds or worry about tall people standing in front of you. You paid your money, ate your space food, and then walked to your designated viewing area knowing you’d have a clear view of the fireworks and projections.
These kinds of packages are pretty standard at Disney parks. They have similar setups for other fireworks shows where you pay a premium to combine dining with reserved viewing. It’s perfect for families with little kids who can’t handle standing around forever, people celebrating special occasions, or anyone who just values their time and sanity over saving a few bucks.
But here’s the thing: most Disney dining packages last for YEARS. They might update menus or adjust prices, but they don’t usually just disappear after a few months. The Docking Bay 7 package launched in November 2024 and was gone by early 2026. That’s barely over a year. Something about that doesn’t add up, and Disney’s complete radio silence on the topic just makes it more suspicious.
How It Disappeared (And Why That’s Frustrating)
So the way this package vanished is honestly kind of annoying from a guest perspective. There was no warning. No “hey, we’re discontinuing this on X date, book soon if you want it.” No blog post explaining the decision. It just got deleted from all the reservation systems without a trace.
The webpage that used to have all the package information now gives you error messages or redirects you somewhere else. If you Google it, you can still see old cached results that make it look like the package exists, but when you click through, nothing works. It’s like digital archaeology finding these ghost pages that lead nowhere.
On the Disneyland app, every reference to the package is completely gone. You can’t search for it, you can’t find it in the event calendar, it’s just been scrubbed from existence. This wasn’t a gradual phase-out or a temporary pause. This was a full “delete everything and pretend it never happened” situation.
And Disney has said NOTHING about it. No official announcement, no explanation, no acknowledgment that the package even existed in the first place. For guests who might have been planning to book this for an upcoming trip, they just have to figure it out on their own when they can’t find the reservation page anymore.
What about people who already had reservations for future dates when Disney pulled the plug? Did they get contacted? Did Disney cancel and refund them? We have no idea because Disney isn’t talking. The whole thing just feels sloppy and inconsiderate toward guests who were counting on this option.
Is This About the Galaxy’s Edge Changes?
Here’s where things get really interesting. Disney just announced that Galaxy’s Edge is getting its biggest update since the land opened back in 2019. Starting April 29, 2026, Batuu is basically abandoning its sequel trilogy timeline and becoming a mashup of all the different Star Wars eras.
The original idea for Galaxy’s Edge was that it was set during a specific time period between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Everything in the land, from the characters you’d meet to the storylines to the merchandise, was supposed to reflect that timeline. It was immersive but also kind of limiting because it meant you’d never see classic characters like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo.
Well, Disney apparently decided that was a mistake because now ALL those classic characters are coming to the land. Luke Skywalker is going to be roaming around looking for Force artifacts. Han Solo will be hanging by the Millennium Falcon. Leia is recruiting people for the Resistance. Darth Vader is hunting for Luke with his Stormtroopers. And all the newer characters like Rey and Mando are staying too.
They’re also changing the shops and the music. First Order Cargo is becoming Black Spire Surplus with different theming. The land’s background music is expanding to include iconic John Williams music from the original trilogy instead of just sequel trilogy stuff. It’s a complete vibe shift for Galaxy’s Edge.
So with all these changes happening, is it possible Disney looked at the Docking Bay 7 dining package and decided it didn’t fit the new direction? Maybe. It’s definitely suspicious that the package disappears right as Disney announces this massive Galaxy’s Edge refresh. But without Disney actually saying anything, we’re just speculating.
What This Means If You Were Planning to Book It
If you were counting on booking this dining package for an upcoming Disneyland trip, well, bad news. It doesn’t exist anymore. You can’t book it. It’s gone. Disney might bring back some kind of replacement dining package eventually, but right now there’s nothing.
You’ll have to experience Fire of the Rising Moons the old-fashioned way: showing up early, finding a decent viewing spot, and hoping you can see over the people in front of you. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s definitely less convenient than having a guaranteed reserved viewing area.
The good news is Fire of the Rising Moons has multiple decent viewing locations throughout Galaxy’s Edge since the projections appear on the land’s structures. You’re not limited to one tiny area where you can see everything. But during busy times, the best spots fill up fast, so you’ll need to plan accordingly.
Disney could potentially announce a new dining package to replace this one, but they haven’t indicated any plans to do that. Keep checking the official Disneyland website and app if you’re interested, but don’t hold your breath. When Disney kills something this quietly, it usually stays dead.
Our Honest Take on This Whole Situation
Look, we get that Disney makes business decisions all the time and not everything works out. If the dining package wasn’t selling well or if there were operational problems making it unsustainable, fine. But the complete lack of communication about removing it is what really bugs us.
Give guests a heads up. Post something on the Disney Parks Blog saying “hey, we’re discontinuing this package on X date, thanks to everyone who experienced it.” That’s basic customer service. Just deleting it from the system and hoping nobody notices feels disrespectful to guests who plan their trips months in advance.
The quick timeline from launch to cancellation also raises questions about Disney’s planning process. Did they not properly assess demand before introducing the package? Did something change operationally that made it impossible to continue? Were the Galaxy’s Edge updates always planned and they knew this package would be short-lived? We honestly don’t know, and Disney’s silence means we’re left guessing.
What frustrates us most is that this affects real people planning real trips. Families saving up for Disneyland vacations, people researching their options months ahead, guests who specifically wanted this experience and now can’t have it. When Disney makes changes without clear communication, it creates unnecessary stress and disappointment that could be avoided with simple transparency.
What’s Next for Galaxy’s Edge Dining
With Galaxy’s Edge going through this massive transformation, we wouldn’t be surprised if other dining and entertainment offerings change too. The whole land is being repositioned from sequel trilogy focus to multi-era celebration, and that could impact everything from what’s sold in shops to what food is served in restaurants.
Oga’s Cantina is sticking around and will continue to be the energetic, music-filled bar it’s always been. Docking Bay 7 itself isn’t going anywhere as a restaurant. But the specific packages, promotions, and tied-in experiences might continue evolving as Disney figures out what works with the new land identity.
The updates officially roll out April 29, but Disney said some enhancements will start appearing in the coming months. So if you’re visiting Galaxy’s Edge between now and late April, expect to see things changing gradually. The land you experience could look and feel different from one visit to the next.
Honestly, we’re excited about the character additions and the shift to celebrating all of Star Wars rather than just one trilogy. But we’re also a little sad that some of the original Galaxy’s Edge experiences are getting lost in the transition. That dining package existed for such a short time that most people never even knew it was available, and now it’s just… gone.
What do you think about Disney cancelling this dining package so quickly? Were you planning to book it, or did you already experience it during its brief existence? Drop your thoughts in the comments because we’re genuinely curious how the Disney community feels about these kinds of sudden changes with zero explanation. Sometimes Disney’s lack of communication is more frustrating than the actual changes themselves!
