WHAT???????

And work begins next year on the 14-acre Star Wars-themed land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. With construction underway, unfortunately, we won’t be able to offer Star Wars Weekends. While Star Wars Weekends has been a great way to enjoy the saga for a few days every year, now the Force will be with Disney’s Hollywood Studios every day.

Must breathe. Must breathe!!!

Figures. the year I FINALLY get the chance to go to SWW (cause we own DVC now) is the year it ends). I am REALLY ticked off right now. We even scored BWV for the weekend we were going! I suppose now I will concentrate on making it a F&G trip instead and DHS can go take a long walk off a short landing strip...

GRRRR.

 

[LoKiHB]

Wow... This is terrible news. I feel like we've all be lied too.

 

[LoKiHB]

Guess, just like a ton of other people, I'll be cancelling my May trip. No reason to go now.

here's the whole post:
You heard about it first during the 2015 D23 EXPO, and now we’re excited to share more details. Very soon, guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios will have the opportunity to experience Star Wars in the park in an all-new way – every day! New experiences will open starting Dec. 1, bringing that galaxy far, far away, a little bit closer.

Star Wars Launch Bay will take guests into the Star Wars saga and the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with special exhibits and peeks behind-the-scenes, special merchandise and opportunities to encounter Chewbacca and Darth Vader.



Star Tours – The Adventures Continue will be home to a brand new adventure inspired by the upcoming film,Star Wars: The Force Awakens. During the opening months, we’ll make sure that everyone who rides Star Tours will experience the new adventure. After that, it will be up to the will of the Force. Here’s a sneak peek of where the Starspeeder 1000 will be taking us.


We also have new information about “Star Wars: Path of the Jedi.” It will feature scenes from the complete Star Wars saga, also giving anyone new to the Star Wars galaxy an opportunity to get acquainted with the films.

Last, but certainly not least, is Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple, which will open in early December. This reimagined Jedi Training experience will take younglings to the secret site of an ancient Jedi temple where they will face Darth Vader along with the Seventh Sister – a new villain from the Disney XD series “Star Wars Rebels.”

And work begins next year on the 14-acre Star Wars-themed land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. With construction underway, unfortunately, we won’t be able to offer Star Wars Weekends. While Star Wars Weekends has been a great way to enjoy the saga for a few days every year, now the Force will be with Disney’s Hollywood Studios every day.

With Star Wars Launch Bay, the new Jedi Training experience, “Star Wars: Path of the Jedi” and a new destination in the Star Tours attraction opening in December, you’ll be able to step into the Star Wars saga every time you visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

I...I just can't...

Sigh. Any idea when they will announce F&G dates for 2016? I may try to move our trip to whatever the quietest time during that is.

I am in shock. I really thought there'd be one more weekends this year. What horrible news on a Monday. I like how they snuck that sentence into the end of the posting, hoping no one would notice. I could cry.....

 

[mesaboy2]

They kinda buried the lead there too, didn't they?

 

[yulilin3]

I am soooo sorry everyone now to wait and see how long SotF will be, I already asked on the blog post

If it lasts through till May, maybe I won't cancel/move the trip.

Yet the page is STILL up. Way to go Disney. I've been one of those people that take the ups and downs and closings and what not with a shrug and and think, well, things have to change, but this is wrong. I also feel that I and anyone else that got a response regarding SWW happening has been very mislead. I'm cancelling my May trip as we speak and am seriously considering selling my DVC membership. I am beyond disappointed.

Rant Over.

We're still going, but I'm sad my kids won't get to experience SWW like we did last year.

that is one of my comments on the blog post...please take the info down from your OFFICIAL site

I posted a comment also, but it's "awaiting moderation". I doubt they will approve what I had to say. I am seriously considering not renewing my annual pass in February because of this. SWW was the only event I really attended. Maybe I'll book a DCL cruise for one of those SW days at sea......

I thought of this thread immediately when I read the blog post. So sorry, everyone.

 

[yulilin3]

Guys, I just changed the title of the thread and will start fixing page 1

Know that my "likes" are not because of the news, but rather the fantastic effort you put into keeping all of us so well informed.

 

[Narnian_Princess]

Wow, that sucks. I used to go all the time when I lived in FL. I haven't been back in ~8 years, but it was so nice to know that they still existed and I could go again someday. So sorry to everyone that already had trips planned.

 

[39CINDERELLA]

not cool Disney!

 

[slaveone]

Watch we won't get SotF either. Why keep loyal fans when a new movie is coming out to renew your fan base.
