**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

Just went to the theater and got our tickets - seeing it on my birthday 12/21 The guy who sold us the tickets was nice but clueless - he said we should probably show up 30 - 45 minutes early for the movie as it might be busy.....

He has NEVER seen a Star Wars movie! WHAT??!!!

We are all geeking out that we got the tickets and in somewhat related news DD and DH are assembling my LEGO WALL-E ....I may have lost them for awhile!

Thats why I didnt get a ticket, if Studios was totally open I would have. I hope I can see and hear the fireworks, I'll be at Boardwalk, might walk over

you can get an amazing view if you walk right pass the overpass, by the lake. It's the best, unobstructed view

I posted about getting the tickets and the ticket guy who has never seen a Star Wars movie on my facebook page..... I only have 8 friends (just got on FB) - anyway - I'm almost embarrassed to admit this - one of my friends replied to my post and said she has NEVER seen a Star Wars movie!!! YIKES - I am friends with someone who has no clue about Star Wars - not sure how to even deal with this!

Sit them down and educate them properly.

I just realized that since I got movie tix for 12/19, I will have to be off email/TV/Twitter/FB/DIS/EVERYTHING for 2 days prior!!!!

Oh... also realized that in the nuttiness of the AMC app malfunctions yesterday, my credit card was charged 3 times for one set of tix!! Just an FYI, all!!

The movie's coming out a few days early overseas, so you might want to avoid social media completely prior to December 17. I'll be offline from the time of the World Premiere (December 14) to when I see the movie on December 17.

why does overseas get it first? I remember 20 odd years ago - movies would come out in the US and folks in England would have to wait months before they came out over there! I will have to withdraw from all news and online media too - we're not seeing it until the 21st...it is going to be a long couple of months!

I agree kind of ridicules that good all USA gets OUR movie last.

We are trying to sort out how we'll see The Force Awakens since we have a 1 year old who won't handle a theater. We thought we'd each take one of the older boys, but I'm thinking it might be best for both boys to go at the same time so they can talk about it. We could get a sitter but we normally only see movies at the base theater so seeing it at a regular theater will be sticker shock for us! Well worth it though! (I secretly keep hoping they'll have a sneak preview on base! But I'm sure that would require a lot of time in line!)

Call around and see if your local regular theaters offer a military discount.....around here Harkins offers the best deal....regular tickets are $10 or more (Star Wars are $15)....but military ID gets you up to 4 tickets for $7.00 each, including Star Wars. Don't know if that's just around here (we have a major military base in our area) or if Harkins does it across the country. AMC.....they'll thank you for your service....which is nice, but that's it. Gee, thanks, lol. The base won't have Star Wars until January.... so we bought advance tickets at Harkins for $7. Not bad, and certainly better than the regular public.....but the base prices are definitely better.

Probably because the movie was shot in UK?

wow did not know that - but of course when I told DH he did know - duh!

also remember if you buy tickets for an early show (before 2 pm on Monday - Thursday) they are usually discounted (at least around here) - I paid $6.50 each for our tickets!

I have taken some time off and things keep moving fast (and not moving at all as far as SWW is concerned).

So first - the movie - we are on the Fantasy starting the 26th and will want to see it aboard, but I also don't think I can wait that long. We are starting Star Wars movies in the back yard this Friday night with Episode I (kids still haven't seen II or III). This should help us judge what they will think of the PG13. I can still get tickets as of today for 7pm on Thursday the 17th at an AMC with reserved seating, but only for 3D, and DH hates 3D movies. The non3D is 8:30 and that might be too late if I want my kids to actually enjoy it. My 10 year old is currently at a callback for a Christmas show, so we will wait and see if she gets a part and then pick a time to see if I guess.

SWW - I was more looking at the meals than the weekends, and with the Sci Fi changes and the Minnie dinner changes, it doesn't look good. When SWA opens its schedule next week I will be flying home on May 30th instead of adding two days at DHS. IF there is a RH or something similar, maybe I can fit it in after cruise and before our flight. Disappointed, but we have so much Disney fun coming up in the next 8 months - I can't really be upset.

So, all things aside, I tried last night and today to get some tickets for Christmas week as I figured I could put the boys tickets in their stockings with their favorite candy for a showing sometime that week. Nothing is coming up in our city, which is a smaller one. Plenty of showings for the 17th through Christmas though. and there's no way to tell what base will have. But I think I will call the local theater and see about a military discount and getting a definitive answer on the Christmas week showings.

I've got ya beat. We aren't seeing it until xmas day; however, we will be in Germany from the 18th-24th. My German isn't good enough to understand spoilers Plus, being on vacation, I tend to not use the web as much.

 

[lovethattink]

It would really help planning, if Disney would announce a launch date for the Launch Bay, dates for Season of the Force, AND details of SWW!!!

 

[lovethattink]

Are the pre-sale tickets available both online and at the theaters?

Yes, for the major theaters. Not sure if it is the same if you have a mom and pop theater.

Thanks. Going to try at a smaller one, but not exactly a mom and pop.
