Oh, I didn't know he was running the half marathon, yay! !

He's not, just the 5K. I just meant that everyone I talked to is there for the Darkside Challenge in one way or the other, most that I talked to, for K5 or 10K

I'm so happy I decided to come out of lurkdom on this thread - I've learned so much! I can't remember what this is...thought I read about it, but I think I'm getting things confused!

Gotcha, if they have members of the 501st on the course it'll be for the half

I had a chance to see SitS last night,I hadn't watched them since the Adventure Party ended and have to say that the speakers that were on the stage added a lot.
And now I understand why someone recently said that the sound was muffled by Echo Lake, last night I was just right next to the dessert party area and the speakers they used were not enough, sure you can still hear the music and dialogue but not as loud as before.
They are obviously building the new stage for SWaGFFA and SWaGS so I'm sure we will have better sound again.
Also I can't wait to hear what @soniam thought of the dessert party, but to me without a Dj or even music it just looked sort of dead, I know that the MK and Epcot ones don't have music either so I'll wait and see what she tought
Here is the pic from the stage construction

So are they currently in construction for the New Star Wars Fireworks and still having the current Star Wars Fireworks???? If so this may be a good sign that they can and hopefully will continue the Star Wars Fireworks for May!!! Throw in the Dessert Party and I and my family will be happy campers!!

The construction on stage is for the show that starts April 4th plus the new projection/fireworks . The real problem will be once they start construction behind street of America and old backlot tour (streets is closing April 3rd) that they will see if they can keep symphony in the stars with the current fireworks s launch points, (they launch from old backlot tour) I hope I explained it properly.

hummmmm yep it makes sense alright but makes me doubt that there will be any Star Wars Fireworks for our trip on May 13th. This waiting is so hard. Between this and the possibility of Rol along with night activities a AK is slowly killing me lol!!! Thanks Yulilin3!! Love your threads!!!

Yes yes yes! It's all coming back to me! Thanks!

Over in the massive ROL Support Group thread , there are comments that easyWDW is reporting that SW fireworks are extended through opening of the new fireworks. I saw that as an offhanded comment in one of his blog posts the other day but it seemed too off the cuff to be reporting a change in the schedule. Is there any independent confirmation on this?

you're welcome
Fireworks for May might happen. It all depends on the speed or where they start with the construction
They first need to demolish everything or almost everything, Streets of America, the LMA stadium, they have to remove all the backlot props that are still there and start demolishing those areas....the current fireworks launch where the backlot tram used to go on so if they leave that be for a month and a half it could still happen

 

[yulilin3]

Work will continue around the area of One Man's Dream and ABC Commissary for the new projection/fireworks show until late April...another good sign that the new fireworks will be up and running by the end of May.

It was posted on the HUB for about 2 days that the new fireworks show would begin May 27th...then it was taken down, other than that no confirmation

April 5th, Phantom Menace Tsums will be released! Maul looks cute although, to me, some look like insects...

I can only hope Disney will drag their feet like they have been with everything else affecting our trip. Watch this time they will kick it into high gear lol!!

as in non existent well going to the parks 3 times a week should count for something right...and now I think I'm going to the Premium RoL event on Friday night (my son's Mother's Day gift) so no sleep...I have a bad feeling about this

You'll be fine! The Force is with you: just walk at a steady pace and stop for every character... I can't wait to see who is on the course, and, you get to go through Epcot and Studios! Fun!!

that's the plan, until I see the balloon ladies behind me then it's lightspeed...

Yuli, that is such a fun Mother's Day gift! I hope you guys have a great time!

Ah, good to know! Not finished reading yet, but now I'm rethinking bringing the kids. I'm worried because my son sometimes doesn't tolerate fireworks well, so don't want to risk it with the $, but it sounds awesome, and he's a big Star Wars fan. I don't even know if I can convince my DH for date night, now I'm trying to add all of us, lol!

I'm not sure if I missed how old your kids are, but Peltor Junior is good for smaller heads and pretty reasonably priced. Both of my kids wear them for many things, a toddler and a first grader. My older son could still hear the music and can hear conversation. And they must be relatively comfortable because my 20 month old will (mostly) leave them alone lol.
