I'm trying to get caught up on this thread & I join with everyone in how disappointed my family is with the cancellation of SWW, not only because it was quickly becoming a favorite family tradition for us, but the depth of the disappointment mainly hits strongest because of the poor communication & planning on Disney's part. Surely these weekends make Disney a ton of money, I would venture to guess far more than Osborne lights. That being said, one would have thought it would only be in everyone's interest to pay it forward a little to those customers that pay that money out in the form of warning of a last year, or even earlier announcement at D23 given the knowledge that many book a year in advance.
A big thank you to Yulady, you have been a tremendous help over the years. Your time & energy in putting all of this information together was spectacular.
I'm left with a few questions perhaps someone could help with. I apologize if I missed the answers in the pages from the announcement. From what I gather we think SoTF is still happening in WDW, but they just haven't officially posted the dates (even though they did earlier & then took them down), correct? Was it omitted from the things to come in the blog? I missed it.
I know the thought is that Launch Bay may have a soft opening 11/27-28. Would that likely mean it would be open to the public after that? I thought I saw someone say Launch Bay may be FP+?
For those of us who have purchased the SW movie event, is the thought now that all that will be included for this event is the preview to the movie a day early (which you can't guarantee your party will sit together unless you wait all day in line), after-hours viewing of the Launch Bay (which on 12/17, might already be open & a FP+ option?), after-hours viewing of the new Star Tours scene (which is a FP+ option already), a dance party, & a commemorative ticket? Is that right?
