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

[justmeinflorida]

that's a long period of time. I think he will use the Force to be in 2 rooms at once

How long in our touringplans should I pencil in for this? As of yet they don't have the SW M&G listed as an option so I'm being creative and putting that we're going to Animation Court Yard Ice Cream Cart for an hour...lol closest thing I could get to the event without the plan telling me it had a better plan

So in one of the Star Tours opening scenes during my last trip I saw Han Solo get into a firefight with some stormtroopers and then blast away on the Falcon. Has this always happened and I've just been too short to see it? (I was sitting in the front row for that ride).

That has always been one of the 2 opening scenes. It is that one or Vader.

There's at least 2 more I think...

 

[Gianfootography]

Hold up. The current version of Star Tours is supposed to take place before the original trilogy. How are they going to explain Force Awakens Scenes?! Is C-3PO made out of DeLorean parts? It makes no sense.

You didn't see the rest of the Disney blog post:
1. Jar Jar Binks will be available for meet and greet;
2. Hayden Christensen will be available for autographs
3. New video clips of the Han Solo scene being frozen in carbonite with the Frozen soundtrack "let it go";

and finally Disney can now confirm
4. Han Solo shot first.

That should make all the star wars fans happy

Honestly, I would kill for a Jar Jar Binks meet and greet!

There's at least 2 more I think...

From the internets: There are eleven random segments of the film (two opening segments, three primary destination segments, three hologram message segments, and three ending destination segments). When combined, they allow 54 different possible ride experiences.

So only 2 openings. I have gone to DHS just to ride Star Tours until I saw all 11 segments and be the Rebel Spy. Dramamine helps on those adventures.

@Gianfootography love the pic, I might have been standing only a couple of feet to your left cause I got almost the exact same one that year.

it looks like Launch Bay at DL had their media day yesterday. I'm hoping that ours will look very similar to what is being offered there. Here's a good report I found from L.A. Times
A lot of spoilers if you want to be surprised

Good thing it's just a theme park ride and not canon. Enjoy it, don't dissect it.

What little I've seen of Launch Bay, the props remind me very much of the traveling Star Wars exhibit that was at the Orlando Science center.

Wow, Vader's found his voice!

love that Hyperspace Mountain intro. DL has a far superior ride to begin with and I'm thinking a visit might just be in order soon.

I want to do Hyperspace Mountain something fierce...so much so that I was trying to swing an impromptu December trip with my son. I just can't work it out between family visits, the holidays, and school business. I wanted to get there before the end of the year, so he could do the railroad, etc that is closing in January.

On another SW note, I just love seeing Clone Wars characters popping up on Rebels!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

We're pretty excited about the SW stuff in DL... we'll be there for the half in Jan!! Good thing, because we'll miss it (whatever IT is!) in WDW since we won't be there until Apr.

DL should be fun... I used to go frequently when I lived on the west coast, but now haven't been in... What... Maybe 15yrs!! And the kids have never been. Looking forward to it!

 

[hiroMYhero]

We were at DL on Tuesday and Wednesday and were just a little too early as there weren't soft openings for Hyperspace Mountain. The parks were beautiful decked out in the 60th's diamonds and Christmas!

SPOILER ALERT:
Here are photos and more details about DL's Season of the Force

You guys are really twisting my arm here! I'm in San Diego for the holidays thru Jan 7. I'm now on a mission to make a side trip to DL happen.
HCinKC - you should do it too if at all possible. California or bust!

I just returned from San Diego last night! It really is an easy drive to DL from SD. We stayed at the Fairfield on Harbor - right across the street!

Our room:
As soon as we opened the door, we could only keep repeating: OMG and Oh, nooooo!

Tell me you didn't pay extra for the Elsa room...

Got a response from Disney, thought I would share. Please note I deleted contact information.

Dear ,

Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort.

We understand that Guest have been in love with many of our attractions and special events over the years. Unfortunately, we do, from time to time, have to say good-bye to some of our beloved attractions to make way for new ideas and dreams. While Star Wars may have to step away for a little while. I can assure you that what is coming is something out of this world!

Walt Disney himself even said something to this matter: "Around here, we don't look backwards for very long... We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things. Because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

I hope this has addressed your concern.
If you have questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us.

Wow, they even threw Walt at you. Feels like a "get over it" response, which I guess we could have predicted.
