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

[cvjpirate]

I was shocked to get a phone call from Disney about the email I sent about my heartbreak over the SWW cancellation.

Once the CM started listing all the "new and amazing" Star Wars items that have been added...blah blah blah. I restated several of the points in my letter which she never addressed or commented on. She said the new land will give guests a whole new submersive experience. I asked if we would have to wait as long as Avatar land to have that experience.

When I finally mentioned the last minute cancellation left no events for the end of May early June and she said she understood my concerns and the concerns of all the fans and she can neither confirm nor deny there will be any events at that time. Schedules are subject to change without notice.

I left the conversation feeling just like I did on Monday. I'm not cancelling my family May trip because we have the airfare booked and the trip is paid for. We don't want to disappoint the kids further. We did decide to take a day off of Disney and go see Harry Potter. We are also cancelling our sept anniversary trip and going on a Royal cruise instead.

I'm sorry your call didn't seem to go as well as mine. I left better after the call then I did with the email they sent.

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:
View attachment 135020 As soon as we opened the door, we could only keep repeating: OMG and Oh, nooooo!

So the Fairfield has Frozen themed rooms? wow. I agree it's an easy drive from San Diego so we went ahead and booked a 1bd at the VGF for 12/30. That's all I could get on such short notice but I'm working on the night of 12/29. Can't wait. Really looking forward to all the DL festivities esp. Star Wars.

Thanks everyone for posting the details here. I was able to move quick on getting a room for at least 1 nt.

We usually stay at Camelot Inn but I booked less than two weeks out and it was full. Tropicana Inn is also nice and for our Tink 10K weekend, we'll be at Best Western Stovall.

I hope you can find something within walking distance; the ART shuttle is very efficient if you are beyond walking distance.

Is it wrong that I want that Han In Carbonite lunchbox?

I also spoke to a CM who fed me a few lines about the possibility of events being opened up and announced once they see how much space they have to work with...saying that many events for SWW were only announced a month out and not to give up on the idea of special events around that time. I told him I appreciated his time, but that we've been burned too badly to have any hope at this point lol.

Just spoke to a very nice CM. I guess they're making all their calls today.

She was very apologetic. Apparently, my overly dramatic email was read. I explained my frustration over the abysmal communication and she agreed that it was not handled properly and apologized again for the misinformation.

I asked about the possibility of something in May, and she apologized and said they had no information, but to keep checking. She even gave me her number and extension in case I wanted to call back as May got closer.

All in all, she was very nice, and seemed honestly bothered by my email. Whether she was or wasn't I'll never know.

In any case, it seems that the CM's are very busy dealing with a lot of upset folks.

Hope everyone remembers, that the CM on the phone is not the one that made the decision, so as upset and angry as you may be, don't take it out on them.

@yulilin3 I thought you'd get a kick out of this, soon as I saw I thought of everyone here

 

[DougEMG]

Just saw that SWW 2016 was cancelled. Very disappointed as we have a trip booked for what would have been our first SWW.

 

[yulilin3]

@justmeinflorida that was awesome, thanks for sharing.

 

[lovethattink]

I canceled my FP+ for tomorrow. I hope those going will share how their experiences on Star Tours went. Too many things on my plate for tomorrow to squeeze in some park time.

***Edited: Poster is on its way to a good SW home!

My Disney Rewards Holiday info brochure/booklet arrived. If anyone would like the The Force Awakens poster (it's pre-folded) and the stickers, please send me a PM and I'll mail it out to you!

@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.

Those were awesome times. Before the dark times... Before the Republic... and Frozen.

 

[Gianfootography]

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

A true Star Wars fan dissects and analyzes everything.

I almost forgot I had FP+ for tomorrow. You can always squeeze in time for Star Wars. There is always room for Star Wars, or was that Jell-O?

You know of the rebellion against Weasel Town!?

I got the poster, but no stickers. Hrmph. Lol

 

[lovethattink]

Same here.

Yes, it started over a trade dispute between the Trade Federation and Arendelle.

Same here.

Maybe it's a West Coast thing? The sticker sheet "peeled" off of the area showing all the different Visa designs.

Anyway, I don't mind mailing them out as well as the coupons, too. I had 3 DL and 2 WDW trips this year so won't be needing them now.

We got the stickers and poster and are in Texas.

Here now.

Went to MK on Friday for the Xmas party but got there early while they were still doing parade filming.

Walked through the tunnel into a garrison of storm troopers and Captain Phasma!!!

I think my son was worried about the empire taking over wdw but I was a little over excited.

Lots of troopers, Vader, Chewie and R2. Unless they shot more SW before we got there I think SW could've been better represented, but walking into MK that day was one of those "Disney Magic" moments!

Can't get my pics to work now but will try to share when I get home.

(Also noticed bathrooms at what will be launch bay are closed too. Fingers crossed for SW bathrooms).
