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

[Dave Tis]

Hi guys, Long time reader.. Just an update from UK..
Although I was extremely disappointed to see no more SWW, (been there 3 times over last 7 years - which is tough considering im from UK, and amounted many memories especially with Ashley Eskstein/Warwick Davis and James Arnold Taylor giving a video nighttime message for little man DS4) I will state that there was some fortunate news from this..
I was planning to take DW and DS4 back to SWW in May 2016 (to celebrate my unfortunate 40th b'day) but due to DS4 school clash and DW University exams during that time, i was unable to book holiday for May.. Therefore, back in July/August we decided to go to WDW during Feb 2016.. Then the news came out about SW Land and then Launch Bay/SOTF/new Jedi training, and now Dessert Party and thus SWW cancellation - I guess it was meant to be (for us).. Although, im hopeful/optimistic that for all others who did book, that there will be some Lucas/SW magic still not announced for your adventures..

With this in mind - Im waiting for Dec 3rd so I can book dessert party, and does anyone have any news on whether Fastpass+ will be offered to Launchbay or character pics with Chewie/Darth??


On another note, here in the UK we are lucky to have SW EP VII : TFA come out on December 17th, so I have my tickets booked for 00:01 (GMT) showing.. Very Excited..

Guys. It's so cool. The CMs are amazing they are so proud and excited. One said they have worked around the clock to get this ready in time. I did scope the entrance and you can watch it on replay if you missed it. I'm in line to meet Chewie now! Aaahhhhh! Ok I'm trying to stay calm. A pic of me with him is a life goal. So I will scope again in a bit. Stay tuned.

Thanks for all of the new information and reviews. Can't wait to hear what people have to say as the day goes on. If anyone will be at DHS on Saturday let me know. Lewis and I are planning on stopping by to check out some of the new stuff. Also, can someone remind me how many new scenes are in Star Tours?

this is how it is now and for the next couple of months:
First scene: either Vader or droid with Millenium Falcon in the back
second scene: flying over Jakku (new scene from Force Awakens) (used to be Tattooine or Hoth or Kaashyyk)
third scene: hologram of BB8 (it used to be Leia or Yoda or Ackbar)
fourth scene: battle over Geonosis or over Coruscant or or Naboo
the second and third scene will go back to random in a couple of months including the new scenes
