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

First Osborne lights now this. So BUMMED.

That's a bummer. I specifically booked next summers trip to encompass two weekends so we could go twice. That actually cost me more DVC points because weekends cost more. Not to mention DD was a HS photopass photographer in DCP so she's totally PO'd....talking her down off the ledge now. We were going to skip US/IOA next year but now I'm kind of feeling like I should add it back and reduce WDW park days.

It appears on the Disney webpage that the Launch Bay will have FP+. Has anyone been able to get a FP for this? https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/hollywood-studios/star-wars-launch-bay/

I put my two cents worth in, waiting: Your comment is awaiting moderation. Have sent my emails as well.

Not happy with this news.

I wish they had announced No Star Wars weekends at D23. That means I can not have the additional stress of when SWW will begin and enjoy the Day with Hanger Bay and the New Star Tours addition more fun.

Noooooo!

Even preparing myself for the possibility of no SWW, I'm feeling very sad. My son is more disappointed than me as SWW was his favorite season of the year! My husband got approved for the 501st right before sww, but not with enough time to get into the parade. This year would have been his first SWW march!

I think there will be winter weekend fireworks and the promise of Season of the Force. I'm guessing it's not in the blog because it's a month later. January if the post that was removed from the passholder website was correct.

I also want to add that I am so glad in our hurt and disappointment that everyone on here is posting kindly as we always do.

Wow. We had to decide between SWW next year and Thanksgiving next year to see OL again. Picked OL. At least now I won't have to lament my choice.

But don't dismay, folks...I'd be willing to bet SWW will return. As hard-ticketed events.

 

[slaveone]

Now I have a horrible paranoia that free passholder items are a secret clue that an event is done for and next year no food and wine. I know it's unlikely but meh. Curse you evil emperor Iger.

I can only check 30 days at a time, but up to Dec. 9th nothing is offered

I still think SWW would have been smart. I agree with Yuli; while SWLand will be great, the specials of SWW will be sorely missed. Then again, none of us know anything about the many layers behind the scenes. It certainly causes a flood of emotion though. I totally agree. I think Disney needs to hear about it. Consumers should always be heard and respected.

My little boy and I shall be very sorry indeed to miss the many wonderful dining opportunities offered at SWW. We are in Seattle but have made the special trip several times now. On the last trip, we got the "Feel the Force" VIP thing, and while it was indeed spendy, it was worth it. Perhaps if more special dining opportunities are available, it will not be so bad?

I have fast passes booked in Hollywood Studios on Jan. 2nd and I just tried to change any of them to Launch bay and it's not listed as an option (tier 1 or tier 2).

I had a bad feeling about this when the Star Wars land announcement came. It's definitely following the Disney trend - take away with the promises of something to come a few years from now.

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Wow, I'm surprised!

And then the end product being a total "meh" (like NFL and 7DMT). Come on WDW! If USO can do it, then you can do it BETTER!

Information on Jedi Training from the site:
Watch younglings train in the ways of the Force and put their skills to the test to defeat the Dark Side—returning in December with a new villain!

Root for the New Recruits
The stirring Star Wars fanfare beckons a group of eager young Padawans in brown robes onto the stage.


Under the tutelage of a Jedi, the recruits learn how to use the Force—and their wit—to wield lightsabers. Now that the Empire has driven the Jedi to the distant corners of the galaxy, the training must proceed in secret at ancient Jedi temples.

But not even this precaution can shield the Jedi from the evil forces of the Dark Side for long. Soon, the novice Knights are challenged to use their new skills when they come face-to-face with Darth Vader—and now a new villain, the Seventh Sister from the popular Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels.

Having wanted to, but never have gone to Star Wars Weekends, that is a bummer, but I can see why ... if they are having a "Season of the Force" . .and will inevitably be increasing the Star Wars presence at the park (with things like the fireworks and the Launch Bay and the meet and greets and eventually a WHOLE land).. why have a few weekends in May to celebrate Star Wars ??

Thought .. considering Disney used that as a way to push people to the parks in a "slow" time .. I wonder what they will replace it with in May? Another Epcot Festival? LOL
