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

[slaveone]

yes, they've had that there ever since the walls went up. I'm sure the CM I talked to yesterday was mistaken on the opening date for Launch Bay since it will need to be done by December 17th since it's part of the special package sold to people going to the movie premiere.

I still think the opening will be the 18th.

it would make more sense.

Unless there is a soft opening?

true, to which I would be real angry if I had bought the special movie release tickets. Even though they haven't announced there will be fireworks on the 18th that will most likely be SW related, Launch Bay will be open, so what do the people that got the special party tickets get that is exclusive? some meet and greets, maybe?

 

[DisneySOS]

The more emails and tweets everyone sends better.....I really wouldn't stress out about emh

I'm kind of new to Twitter - can you possibly suggest a hashtag that we can all use to bombard them with as to when SWW will be?

This. This. This. I seriously hope they make this event an awesome event and not just a one day preview of fireworks.

I just talked to guest services and mentioned Kenny the Pirate put out his article and he said to call and send emails so they can pass it on and hopefully they will put out something earlier about SWW.
He did say they don't have any information yet and magic hours can change.

You told Guest Services about my article?

KtP is reporting a Dec. 1 opening for the new JTA and Launch Bay. Don't know if he has any insider info, but would love that to be true since we are in the World that week!

that's the info I was given, but the date could fudge a few days as DHS is notorious behind when it comes to openings

Yes I mentioned your article.
I told him that Disney fan websites are discussing whether there will be a SWW and the more articles written the more people are becoming aware there might not be SWW weekends and they will be getting a lot of emails and calls.
He did say they pass them on and hopefully they will make a announcement sooner.

I've mentioned your site to many CMs - a lot of them already knew about you I showed a few the Character Locater app - they thought it was really cool.

Sing to the tune of "I've been working on the railroad...

"The Eye of Sauron is upon you! All the livelong daaayyy!!"

I suppose if they can successfully have a merchandise preview for $250/pp for SWW. They can have a $99 fireworks and private party preview.

The above is obviously recycled from this year, they still have the phrase "Rock your Disney side" which was this year's theme, 2016 theme is "unforgettable happens here". But if they are sending this then we can assume that SWW will happen

I personally would not assume anything related to Disney until it is a sure thing announced from Disney themselves. For instance we stayed at the CBR in May of 2014 when they still had the Finding Nemo decor. Since then the rooms have been remodeled but the pictures of the rooms from the Disney Resort site still show the old rooms. I would think that Disney is just slow in changing things like this. Unfortunately it seems it will be a waiting game until Disney chooses to announce it.

which is why I always say treat everything you hear and see and read as a rumor until Disney themselves announce it.

If fireworks are offered on December 18th at Hollywood Studios will they offer a special one night dessert party? Seems odd they are open till 10 that night. I hope more info will come out when the calendar revisions come out later this month.

Not sure about a SW dessert party, but no one knows at this point. Just one more thing we have to wait and see

He's still 19 and looks no where close to the age they are looking for and he has work that day already scheduled anyways, but it would be cool if he could go
