So any other rumors about a public soft opening for tomorrow we just left HS and there is no movement over there at all.

Ride star tours. I didn't realize they already added the eoisode vii parts. It was cool seeing bb8 in front of you. Very cool.

did you notice if the walls were still up around Launch Bay? the rumors were that tomorrow was soft opening but I'm now hearing that they are basically working around the clock to finish it, so I'm not sure. I'll still be there tomorrow morning

I will be checking in here tomorrow. Might head over to park if Launch Bay is open. We haven't seen the new Star Tours scenes either.

Walls still up. I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I'm not impressed with the outside. It's pretty bla. I hope the inside is better. I really thought they would have themed it up more. I mean Disney does random greatness. Look at the tangled bathrooms in mk. That area is one of the best themed areas and you only get to appreciate it when going to the bathroom. Lol. I just thought they would have ramped up the outside a bit more.

Thanks. I've never actually been able to see the fireworks (or fantasmic) from HS so it would be a treat to be able to this year, especially if it were to be Star Wars themed. I would be there in the evening probably between 8 and 830 and have an annual pass so there shouldn't be a problem if the park were to be really busy that day (I've seen how on SWW the park gets really busy and sometimes will close to further guests) But I imagine that due to me having an AP and staying on site I shouldn't have a problem?
What time do the dessert party reservations usually come online to be able to book? Is it midnight? Hope it would be not too late if I booked 6 in the morning on the 3rd?

I hope that one day Star Wars land will bring back Adult Star Wars Trivia. This was taken one of the last years they did it. One of the finalists in this picture was one of the first people I met from the DIS boards.

Boo. Lewis and I spent Thanksgiving at Disney and were wondering if we should stay over or drive back today for this, but now I'm glad we didn't.

Side note, we stayed at Hollywood Studios until they turned off the Osborne lights last night. I've never actually stayed until they are turned off and I got a bit emotional, even though I know I'll be back to see them (multiple times) before the last night. I can't imagine how I'll be on the actual last night.

just got back home. You can clearly hear them unwrapping things behind the wall, CM are reporting that they are working around the clock to have it ready for opening
Jedi Training is still behind walls as well but now you can see the temple theme

There are wristbands for the Ashley Eckstein signing. And they said you need to have pre-purchase merchandise to be in line. 2 autographs per wristband.

Cm asking if at least 1 person per party has a wristband.

Is it just me or did they cancel the early shows for opening night event?
I took a screenshot of the shows page on Nov. 17th and then yesterday. It looks like the 3D shows at 7:15 and 7:20 are no longer there. Wonder what happened.

Does it have to be merch purchased that day? How early did you get there?

I got there around 1:40 and saw Ashley at 4:20. I asked when wristbands began to be handed out and was told between 12:30 and 1pm.

She was great as always and spent quality time with each group.

Maybe they are totally full, literally not even one seat, so they don't show as an option?

You would think so right. But all the times showing in RED are sold out. There is no way to book any of these. I just find it odd that those 2 times are not showing up at all.

Have any more details been released about this event?

Got to meet her yesterday- it was awesome! She spends tons of time with each person. I got there about 1:15 got a wristband and saw her about 3:30. She will sign anything- you don't have to purchase it. It's pretty relaxed. She will take pictures too and the CM standing nearby monitoring everything will take a picture for you as well. She will be there today if you can go I'd say it's well worth it. They have such great merch in that store too.
