DHS

[GlendaO]

We've not been to DHS in a few years. We're going the week before Christmas so I'm expecting it to be slammed.
I'm wondering if, given the time we'll be there, it's more than a half day park? My husband loves Star Wars but I can't seem to find out much about it. Is there really anything other than Star Tours?
We have FP+ scheduled for TSM, ST and Indiana Jones.
Any tips appreciated!

For Star Wars fans, as you will see in thread listed above, they have converted the Animation Academy area into the Launch Bay, where you can meet Chewy and Kylo Ren, see some memorabilia, a short movie, Cantina area, Jawas walking around(some trading for shiny objects), etc. You can easily spend an hour there meeting characters and checking everything out if your DH is into it. It is best to visit here early before it starts to get crowded. There is also a new SW stage show done several times during the day. They were having SW fireworks, but I believe those are gone for Christmas season with new Jingle Bell night show. Unfortunately Osbourne Lights are gone, so I do not think it will be as packed as used to be that week(especially last yr before it closed when we made a quick trip that week).

As far as the rest of the park, it depends what else you like to do there - we enjoy all your FP, as well as trying to do TSMM first thing so we can do it at least twice, Muppets, kids like ToT, we eat at Sci-Fi, and like to see F! at night, so it is an all day or two 1/2 days for us.

No answer to your question, but your thread title gave me a smile. I went to Danville High School (DHS) and when I saw your thread, but first thought was "why is someone asking about high school?"

Thanks. I feel better about keeping it as a one day park. I would love to see F! this time but I'm thinking it may be crazy. I'll wait and see. It sounds like there will be enough to keep us entertained I'll miss the Osbourne Lights though.
