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

[LoKiHB]

Visa chase meet should be open by then. The regular Vader and Chewie will open Dec. 1st
Jedi Training will probably also start Dec. 1st. I'll have full report when it does, rumor is that Launch Bay will soft open Nov. 27th and I'm already planning on being there

We'll be at DHS on the 27th for Minnie's Holiday Dinner. If time allows I told my oldest he can check it out, so we'll report later that night.

Me too! Sounds like others as well. Maybe enough to have a meet like you did during SWW?

I looked into changing over to US. My kids, (darn it I made them addicted to Disney) talked me out of it after fussing at me about my email to Disney about SWW not being harsh enough.

Re: US my kids are the same way. Even when I've asked about taking a couple of days out of a 10-day trip to check out the HP stuff, they're not having it! They wouldn't mind going... but not if it means a day away from WDW...

normally when I send in an e-mail I get the generic - 'we've gotten your e-mail and I assure you someone is looking at it" e-mail ....did not even get that tis time...which seems odd. Our APs expire in January - was going to get new ones in May for SWW - now it will be September - doubt if I can talk my gang into US (for Sept) then get new Disney APs in January...by then we'd be in serious Disney withdrawal!

I got that reply when I sent mine, but still no follow up, nor am I expecting one.

I got the generic reply saying they have the email and will contact me once they research my issue. Believe me, there is no research to my issue. I am expecting them pushing me towards Launch Bay and Star Wars Land.

Question about the dark side half marathon - I've been running every other day for the past 5-months but the longest run is only 3.1 miles. Am I over doing it if I sign up for the half marathon? I have been doing the run/walk method. Will that work for the half? I'm a little nervous - thoughts? I have plenty of time to train just don't want to fail or be the only walker.....

Hi all,
Quick question, and apologize if it's been addressed already:
We have a Chase Amazon Visa, but is the "extras" offered at WDW only for ones with the Disney Chase? Thanks!
Also...
I've been around the boards off and on since '99, and still so nice to see folks guiding the conversation on the boards, (too many on this board alone to mention, but thank you all for steering the ship through the SWW ups and downs).
Since booking our May SWW trip a couple of months ago, I've been popping in here and there, and early on realized that it was 50/50 on SWW. While not at all surprised, we're disappointed like most here. We have flights booked, park tix and resort (BWI) paid in full.
After some reconfiguring, we're now going in early March for whatever HS has to offer and Flower and Garden at Epcot, which we've always liked a lot.
So, yesterday, after a phone call to rebook the room and a few clicks on Spirit, (thankfully opted for flexfare in case this happened), on the plus side, we're leaving 2 months earlier, with lighter crowds and saving a few bucks

Now, hopping over to WDW site and booking meals and Fast Passes.

Thanks for listening, and happy Veteran's Day.
-Mark

We are considering doing the same thing. We don't have airline tickets yet, but I have had hotels booked for both March and June for a while now. I don't know if March will be less busy. We went mid-March this year, and it was busier than when we went first week of June 2012 and late July 2014. March is Spring Break, so a lot of people pack in vacations in a short period of time. Also, the week before or after Easter (can't remember which) is supposed to be very busy. I think Easter is at the end of March next year. Good luck.

plenty of time for you to train with a 3 mile base. Using Galloway?

Yes - just got the timer about 3 weeks ago and following the method. I just want to finish the half - no time goal. I can do the 3 miles in about 37 mins.

My two cents: THAT'S PLENTY OF TIME!!! I went from couch-to-5K, 5K to 10K, 10K to half in less time -- and started running for the first time at 38yrs old. Totally doable.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Just nervous - coming from Chicago for the race.

agree that you have time to train, stick with it and you'll be fine. I've finished the Princess half marathon using run/walk 1 minute walk 45 second run. Follow the Galloway 20 week program and you'll be fine

thanks for the spoiler warning, not watching anymore teasers, trailers, tv special (I know it will be hard)

Yeah, I slightly regret watching that one, but I can't help myself. Really puts together a large part of the movie (I think).

Nice! Thanks for keeping everyone updated! Would be nice if they started doing FP for Jedi Training. That would make it possible for us to do.

unlikely they will do fp for JT cause the CM has to check the kids age and ability to participate

 

[pangyal]

I still haven't told kiddo, hoping he will forget about it (likely? No). But...I am sort of eyeing US as a possibility for a few days that week. Not sure he's old or tall enough or that I have the strength for planning that, to be honest, but I am definitely keeping the idea alive .

Thanks again for the support.
